Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe, can be produced by water, stored easily, conversed into thermal, mechanicaland electrical energy. Because of these properties, it can be considered as the energy carrier of the future. In order to use hydrogen asenergy carrier, it must be separated from the gas mixture. Hydrogen separation using membrane method has the advantage over otherseparation methods due to its less energy intensive and environmental friendly properties. Mixed matrix membrane (MMM) has beendeveloped so as to membrane properties become better and increase the performance of gas separation membranes. MOFs as a newfillers in MMM with high surface area and pore volume, enhance the H2 gas separation properties. In this study, MOF-5 and Co-dopedMOF-5 particles were synthesized, characterized and incorporated into polyimide to investigate the effect of filler on the H2 gaspermeation. Co-doped MOF-5/PI MMMs with different loading rate (5wt.%, 10wt.%, 15wt.%) were fabricated. The characterizationwas performed by different analysis techniques. The gas analyses results showed that permeability of H2 gas in mixed matrixmembrane including MOF-5 and Co-doped MOF-5 particules were enhanced with increasing the loading rate (5wt.%, 10wt.%,15wt.%) at room temperature and pressure of 500 kPa. Furthermore, metal doped MOFs/PI is the highest gas permeation propertiescompared to pure PI and MOF-5/PI.
