The enhanced transport of CO 2 through the membranes has been artistically depicted. The significant increase in gas permeability of our membranes is attributed to the additional gas transport pathways introduced by the porous ACOF‐1 network. In addition, the higher selectivity with respect to the bare polymer can be related to the selective adsorption of CO 2 over CH 4 on ACOF‐1, leading to a facilitated transport of CO 2 molecules through the membrane. Artistically, both aspects are illustrated with the high speed trains loaded with CO 2 passing through COF tunnels through a polymer mountain.
