The selectivity and reversibility of the reaction with Ag(I) makes it potentially interesting for separating alkenes and arenes from hydrocarbon mixtures, which is an energy‐intensive industrial process. Adaptation of Ag(I) complexation chemistry for use in membrane separations has many challenges. We have investigated many aspects of Ag(I)‐containing facilitated transport membranes. Recent results on the preparation and characterization of composite membrane materials are described.
