The fabrication of porous molecules, such as metal–organic polyhedra (MOPs), porous organic cages (POCs) and others, has given rise to the potential for creating “solid solutions” of molecular fillers and polymers. Such solid solutions circumvent longstanding interface issues associated with mixed matrix membranes (MMMs), and are referred to as molecularly mixed composite membranes (MMCMs) to distinguish them from traditional two-phase MMMs. Early investigations of MMCMs highlight the advantages of solid solutions over MMMs, including dispersion of the filler, anti-plasticization of the polymer network, and removal of deleterious interfacial issues. However, the exact microscopic structure as well as the transport modality in this new class of membrane are not well understood. Moreover, there are clear engineering challenges that need to be addressed for MMCMs to transition into the field. Finally in this Minireview, the authors outline several scientific and technological challenges associated with the aforementioned questions and their suggestions to tackle them.
