Asymmetric PVDF membrane incorporated with graphene was prepared using the NIPS method.
Graphene worked as nuclei for PVDF crystallization and transformed PVDF from γ-form to α-form.
Hydrophobicity of the membrane substrate interface increased after graphene incorporation.
Hybrid membranes have better CO2 absorption performance with stronger wetting resistance.
Membrane orientation affected the CO2 absorption in membrane contactor.
