High-permeance, molecular-sieving, nanoporous single-layer graphene (NSLG) membranes are highly promising for gas separation. However, the formation of cracks during the transfer of NSLG to a low-cost porous support is difficult to avoid. Herein, we demonstrate mechanical reinforcement of the graphene film with a two-layer composite carbon film. As a result, H₂/CH₄ and H₂/CO₂ selectivities of 11–23 and 5–8, respectively, higher than the corresponding Knudsen selectivities of 2.8 and 4.7, respectively, are obtained from the centimeter-scale NSLG membranes. The reinforced membranes are mechanically robust and can successfully withstand transmembrane pressure difference of 4 bar.
