Summary:Membrane separation is a promising technology for CO 2 separation and capture because of the high energy efficiency, small footprint and operational simplicity. A CO 2 facilitated transport membrane is an important group of membranes for CO 2 separation. In this review, the facilitated transport mechanism is described in conjunction with the chemical reactions of CO 2 and amine carriers. A wide range of facilitated transport membranes is discussed, including amine-based fixed-site carrier membranes, amine mobile carrier-containing membranes and other facilitated transport membranes with different types of carriers and/or inorganic fillers to further improve the performance of facilitated transport membranes. This review concludes with remarks on the future perspectives of the facilitated transport membranes for CO 2 separation and capture applications.
