a Photo images of as-prepared pU20/PIM-1 thin-film nanocomposite (TFN) membranes depending on membrane area. Cross-sectional SEM images of b PIM-1 thin-film composite (TFC) membrane (3 × 3 cm2) and c pU20/PIM-1 TFN membranes (20 × 20 cm2) (scale bar = 2 µm). d CO2/N2 separation performance of TFC and TFN membranes depending on membrane area tests (error bars represent standard deviations from 4 different samples). e Comparison of CO2/N2 separation performances of TFC and TFN membranes prepared in this study with literature data70. The yellow square denotes the desired performance for the membrane-based post-combustion CO2 capture2.
