Abstract
Global warming and associated climate change, primarily driven by greenhouse gas emissions, are no longer a forecast but are now undeniable realities. Although membrane technology presents a highly cost-effective approach for carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) capture, further research is required to overcome the inherent trade-off between selectivity and permeability to achieve enhanced performance. A novel defect-engineered ultrasmall cellulose nanocrystal (CNC)-templated UiO-66 MOF (CNC-UiO-66 hybrid) was synthesized to improve the performance of Pebax membranes. The elongated geometry of the CNC-UiO-66 hybrid creates extended facilitated transport channels for CO 2 , while the highly defective structure, induced by the presence of CNC during synthesis, enhances coordination interactions with both CO 2 and the polymer matrix. As a result, Pebax incorporated with CNC-UiO-66 demonstrated increased crystallinity and thermal stability. The incorporation of as little as 1 wt% of the CNC-UiO-66 hybrid into Pebax membranes achieved a remarkable CO 2 permeability of 1442 Barrer and a selectivity of 40, surpassing the Robeson upper bound (2008) for CO 2 /N 2 separation. Cost analysis suggested that this membrane could reduce carbon capture costs to 62 USD per tonne, 10 USD less than conventional membranes. These results highlight the potential of CNC-UiO-66 hybrid membranes for efficient and cost-effective CCUS applications, particularly in flue gas treatment.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
