The introduction of two-dimensional (2D) nanofillers into thin-film (<1 mu m thickness) mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs) remains challenging because of the interfacial issues that lead to Knudsen diffusion, thereby causing a loss of selectivity. Herein, we describe a surface modification technique that involves the application of an epoxy group ring opening process and free-radical polymerization to the graphene oxide (GO) surface to enable the grafting of CO2-philic poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) chains. The use of functional groups to achieve the PEG modification of GO increases the interlayer spacing between the 2D GO layers. Specifically, the abundant PEG domain between the layers provides an effective CO2-philic pathway and minimizes the occurrence of polymer matrix/GO filler interfacial defects, resulting in excellent CO2 permeance and selectivity. The MMM consisting of GO-glycidyl methacrylate grafted with poly(oxyethylene methacrylate) achieved the highest performance, with a CO2 permeance of 3169 GPU, CO2/N2 selectivity of 37.4, and CO2/CH4 selectivity of 15.8. These results indicate the suitability of the as-prepared materials for commercial applications.
