Abstract
A promising class of porous crystalline materials, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), have recently emerged as a potential material in fabricating mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) for gas separation applications. Their unique chemistry and structural versatility offer substantial advantages over conventional fillers. This review gives an in-depth exploration of MOF chemistry, focusing on strategies to manipulate their adsorption behavior to enhance separation properties. We scrutinize the impact of various MOF-based MMM components, including polymer matrix, MOFs fillers and polymer/filler interface, on the overall gas separation performance. This involves a detailed analysis of key parameters associated with MMM preparation. Additionally, we offer a comprehensive overview of the determining factors in MOF-based MMM development for gas separation, including MOF structure, synthesis, and chemistry. Moreover, the most advances in modification strategies of MOF for CO2 separation, such as a wide variety of hybrid MOFs will be outlined, which opens the door to an improved CO2 separation process. Finally, the gas transport mechanisms of MMMs are thoroughly discussed to understand the factors affecting the gas permeation through the polymer matrix, MOFs and interface between them.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous crystalline materials assembled from organic ligands and metallic secondary building blocks. Their special structural composition gives them the advantages of high porosity, high specific surface area, adjustable pore size, and good stability. MOF membranes and MOF-based mixed-matrix membranes prepared from MOF crystals have ultra-high porosity, uniform pore size, excellent adsorption properties, high selectivity, and high throughput, which contribute to their being widely used in separation fields. This review summarizes the synthesis methods of MOF membranes, including in situ growth, secondary growth, and electrochemical methods. Mixed-matrix membranes composed of Zeolite Imidazolate Frameworks (ZIF), University of Oslo (UIO), and Materials of Institute Lavoisier (MIL) frameworks are introduced. In addition, the main applications of MOF membranes in lithium-sulfur battery separators, wastewater purification, seawater desalination, and gas separation are reviewed. Finally, we review the development prospects of MOF membranes for the large-scale application of MOF membranes in factories.

Abstract
Composite membranes featuring metal-organic framework (MOF)-dispersed polymers have attracted tremendous attention in recent years. However, evaluating commercial viability is oftentimes obscured by the irreproducibility in both MOF synthesis and film manufacturing protocols. Variability in MOF property sets are typically ascribed to crystal defects resulting from subtle variations in synthesis, but quantitative studies investigating the role of defects on transport properties are exceedingly rare. Likewise, controlled film formation protocols are rarely reported in the open literature, making it difficult to provide substantial and informative structure-property correlations. This study aims to address these uncertainties. To this end, two samples of a prototypical MOF, UiO-66-NH2, were synthesized to feature similar particle size, morphology, and colloidal stability. However, defect engineering protocols coupled with careful screening experiments were developed to synthesize the two MOFs with maximally different porosities. Composite membranes were prepared for each MOF and a high-performance polymer, 6FDA-Durene, and then tested for light gas permeation measurements, revealing a small and unexpected enhancement in CO2/CH4 performance for samples containing low-porosity UiO-66-NH2. Mechanistic studies on sorption revealed a surprising 50% decrease in sorption capacity for high-porosity UiO-66-NH2, completely offsetting enhancements from increased gas diffusion. By using multiple replicate experiments, the sample-to-sample variation was large enough to obscure any differences in permeability and selectivity between the two types of MOF composites at low volume fractions. Application of the Maxwell model to extrapolate pure-MOF performance led to significant variations in predicted values, demonstrating the importance of collecting and reporting replicate experiments for membrane preparation and testing.

Abstract
Mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) composed of NUS-8 metal-organic framework (MOF) nanosheets dispersed into a polymer of intrinsic microporosity 1 (PIM-1) polymer matrix are known to be promising candidates for CO2/N2 separation because of a solubility-driven separation mechanism. In this work, we predict that a chemical functionalization of the organic linker of NUS-8 by a CO2-philic function confers an even better separation performance to the resulting MMM. Our simulations revealed that the NUS-8-CO2H/PIM-1 composite exhibits a 3-fold increase in CO2/N2 selectivity versus the NUS-8/PIM-1 analogue while achieving a high CO2 permeability (6700 barrer). We demonstrated that this improved level of performance is due to an increase both in the total MOF/polymer interfacial pore volume and in the CO2-affinity due to the chemical functionalization. These results suggest that an appropriate choice of chemical functionalization of a MOF is a promising strategy to improve gas separation performances for MMM composites that exhibit a solubility-driven separation mechanism.
