Techniques for separation of gas mixtures obtained from various sources, such as effluents from industries, and biogas, have always fascinated researchers. The advent of mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) has opened up a new window of opportunity for developing membranes coupled with flexibility, processability, and permeability of polymers and selectivity of inorganic nanomaterials. This review is a detailed overview of the effect of various nanofillers on the separation performance of MMMs including the major factors affecting the perm-selectivity and possible solutions for overcoming the emerging challenges. The paper also presents contemporary approaches for cost-effective implementation of MMMs. Methodologies for designing MMMs with improved interfacial morphology to exploit their full potential in tailoring the selectivity efficiency are also discussed in detail. This review can act be a guideline for the future development of high-performance MMMs for industrial applications without compromising long-term separation performance, durability, and stability to processing conditions.
