Membrane‐based CO 2 separation technology plays a significant role in environmental remediation and clean energy. Two‐dimensional (2D) materials with atomically precise structures have emerged as prospective scaffolds to develop mixed‐matrix membranes (MMMs) for gas separation. Summarized in this perspective review are the latest breakthrough studies in the synthesis of 2D‐material‐based MMMs to separate CO 2 from gas mixtures. 2D materials including graphene oxide (GO), metal–organic framework (MOF)‐derived nanosheets, covalent organic frameworks (COFs), and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), as fascinating building blocks, have been comprehensively summarized, together with a focus on synthetic processes and gas separation properties. Challenges and the latest advances in the manufacture of novel synthetic 2D materials are briefly discussed to foresee emerging opportunities for the development of new generations of 2D‐material‐based MMMs.
