Contemporary advances in material development associated with membrane gas separation refer to the cost-effective fabrication of high-performance, defect-free mixed matrix membranes (MMMs). For clean energy production, natural gas purification, and CO capture from flue gas systems, constituting a functional integration of polymer matrix and inorganic filler materials find huge applications. The broad domain of research and development of MMMs focused on the selection of appropriate materials, inexpensive membrane fabrication, and comparative study with other gas separation membranes for real-world applications. This study addressed a comprehensive review of the advanced MMMs wrapping various facets of membrane material selection; polymer and filler particle morphology and compatibility between the phases and the relevance of several fillers in the assembly of MMMs are analyzed. Further, the research on binary MMMs, their problems, and solutions to overcome these challenges have also been discussed. Finally, the future directions and scope of work on quaternary MMM are scrutinized in the article.
当代膜气体分离相关的材料发展进步是指具有成本效益的高性能、无缺陷的混合基质膜（MMM）的制造。对于清洁能源生产、天然气净化以及烟道气系统中的 CO 捕获，聚合物基质和无机填充材料的功能集成具有巨大的应用潜力。MMM 的广泛研究和开发领域侧重于选择合适的材料、制造廉价的膜以及与其他气体分离膜进行比较研究，以实现实际应用。本研究全面综述了先进的 MMM，涵盖了膜材料选择的各个方面；分析了聚合物和填充颗粒形态以及各相间的相容性，以及在 MMM 组装中几种填充剂的相关性。此外，还讨论了二元 MMM 的研究、它们的问题以及克服这些挑战的解决方案。最后，文章还仔细研究了关于四元 MMM 的未来方向和工作范围。
