After introducing the most relevant parameters affecting membrane performance, we define targets in terms of selectivity and productivity based on existing literature on process design for pre- and post-combustion CO2 capture. Subsequently, the state of the art in M(4)s is reviewed against these targets. Because final application of these membranes will only be possible if thin separation layers can be produced, the latest advances in the manufacture of M-4 hollow fibers are discussed. Finally, the recent efforts in understanding the separation performance of these complex composite materials and future research directions are outlined.344110101enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessjournal article10.1039/c4cs00437jhollow-fiber membraneshansen solubility parametersgas separation performancecarbn-dioxide capturezeolitic imidazolate frameworksnano-composite membranesIGCC power-plantsof-the-artnanocomposite membraneshydrogen separationhollow-fiber membraneshansen solubility parametersgas separation performancecarbn-dioxide capturezeolitic imidazolate frameworksnano-composite membranesIGCC power-plantsof-the-artnanocomposite membraneshydrogen separationGeneral ChemistrySDG 13 - Climate ActionProject IDinfo:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/FP7/608490/EU/Energy efficient MOF-based Mixed Matrix Membranes for CO2 Capture/M4CO2info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/FP7/608490/EU/Energy efficient MOF-based Mixed Matrix Membranes for CO2 Capture/M4CO2Funding InfoEuropean Commission FP7 608490_x000D_ ERC 335746European Commission FP7 608490_x000D_ ERC 335746http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?scp=84927919994&partnerID=8YFLogxK
