We prepared dense flat‐sheet Ag‐functionalized carbon molecular‐sieve (CMS) membranes from blends of P84 co‐polyimide and a sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) with a Ag + counterion (AgSPEEK). These blends offer the possibility of producing new functionalized precursor structures, which were previously not possible, such as integrally skinned asymmetric hollow fibers. Membranes prepared at a pyrolysis end temperature of 800 °C showed a maximum permeability for all tested gases at a Ag content of approximately 2.5 wt.‐% (He permeability P He  = 465 Barrer (1 Barrer = 7.5 × 10 –18  m 2  s –1  Pa –1 ), P   CO   2 = 366 Barrer, P   O   2 = 91.8 Barrer, P   N   2 = 10.3 Barrer). The maximum achieved selectivity for O 2 over N 2 with CMS membranes based on these blends was α   O   2 /N     2 = 13.5 (Ag content: 4.5 wt.‐%, P   O   2 = 52.7 Barrer). The CO 2 over N 2 selectivity reached a value of 48.9 (Ag content: 4.5 wt.‐%, P   CO   2 = 191 Barrer). These observations are explained by the formation of selective bypasses around Ag nanoclusters in the CMS matrix.
