The ever‐escalating CO 2 concentration in the atmosphere calls for accelerated development and deployment of carbon capture processes to reduce emissions. Mixed matrix membranes (MMMs), which are fabricated by incorporating the beneficial properties of highly selective inorganic fillers into a polymer matrix, have exhibited significant progress and the ability to enhance the performance of a membrane for gas separation. In this research, an amine‐based ionic liquid (IL) [APTMS][AC] was prepared, which has greater CO 2 affinity and greater solubility due to its amine moiety. The metal–organic framework (MOF) UiO‐66 with a multidimensional crystalline structure was used as a filler due to its appropriate porosity and tunable properties, and it was functionalized with NH 2 . MOFs were further modified with an IL to prepare UiO‐66@IL and UiO‐66‐NH 2 @IL, and MMMs incorporating each MOF were fabricated with the polymer Pebax‐1657. All the prepared membranes and MOFs were characterized to predict their separation efficiency. Several characterization techniques, namely, FTIR spectroscopy, XRD, and SEM, were used to successfully synthesize UiO‐66@IL and UiO‐66‐NH 2 @IL composites and confirmed proper dispersion and excellent polymer‒filler compatibility at filler loadings ranging from 0 to 30 wt.%. The separation performances were investigated, and the results showed that the incorporation of RTIL with the highly crystalline structure and large surface area of UiO‐66 enhanced the separation efficiency of the membrane. The permeability of CO 2 for all fabricated membranes continuously increased with increasing filler concentration, wherein the permeability was comparatively high for the UiO‐66‐NH 2 MMMs. The CO 2 /CH 4 selectivity improved by 35%, 54%, and 60%, respectively, for UiO‐66@IL, UiO‐66‐NH 2 , and UiO‐66‐NH 2 @IL MMMs compared to simple UiO‐66 for CO 2 /CH 4 and by 28%, 36%, and 63%, respectively, for CO 2 /N 2 , with an increase in filler loading in the MMMs.
