The overall focus of this thesis is on the development and understanding of
nanoporous layered silicates and membranes, particularly for potential applications in gas
separations. Nanoporous layered materials are a rapidly growing area of interest, and
include materials such as layered zeolites, porous layered oxides, layered
aluminophosphates, and porous graphenes. They possess unique transport properties that
may be advantageous for membrane and thin film applications. These materials also have
very different chemistry from 3-D porous materials due to the existence of a large,
chemically active, external surface area. This feature also necessitates the development of
innovative strategies to process these materials into membranes and thin films with high
performance.
