Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are an exceptional class of crystalline materials that have been extensively used to fabricate membranes for various applications such as gas separation, ion transport, and desalination due to their well-defined pore structure, chemical features, and simple synthesis process. The incorporation of graphitic carbon materials in MOFs has garnered significant attention as it can provide abundant nucleation sites and modulate gas transport by influencing the orientation or rigidity of MOF crystals without changing their porous structure. This review insights of previous studies utilizing graphene, graphene oxide, carbon nanotubes, and graphene nanoribbons for MOF-based gas separation membranes, particularly focusing on polycrystalline MOF membrane hybridization with graphitic materials. We also briefly discuss the use of carbon/MOF hybrid materials for preparing mixed matrix membranes.
