Abstract Mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) comprising size‐sieving fillers dispersed in polymers exhibit diffusivity selectivity and may surpass the upper bound for gas separation, but their performance is limited by defects at the polymer/filler interface. Herein, a fundamentally different approach employing a highly sorptive filler that is inherently less sensitive to interfacial defects is reported. Palladium nanoparticles with extremely high H ₂ sorption are dispersed in polybenzimidazole at loadings near the percolation threshold, which increases both H ₂ permeability and H ₂ /CO ₂ selectivity. Performance of these MMMs surpasses the state‐of‐the‐art upper bound for H ₂ /CO ₂ separation with polymer‐based membranes. The success of these sorption‐enhanced MMMs for H ₂ /CO ₂ separation may launch a new research paradigm that taps the enormous knowledge of affinities between gases and nanomaterials to design MMMs for a wide variety of gas separations.
