ILs, with their low volatility and tunable chemical properties, enhance the functionality of MOFs, which are highly porous materials characterized by their large surface areas and adjustable pore sizes. The effective integration of these two materials through various synthesis techniques has led to the development of novel IL/MOF composites exhibiting superior gas adsorption and separation capabilities, particularly for CO<sub>2</sub> capture, compared to pristine MOFs. The use of these composites as fillers in polymers resulted in mixed matrix membranes with enhanced selectivities. This field is advancing rapidly, yet the design of IL/MOF composites still relies on a trial-and-error approach.
