Abstract

Ultra-thin two-dimensional inorganic nanoporous (alumino)silicates have been recently synthesized. They are 0.5 nm thick and can be produced in the form of ordered structures or glasses and doped with other elements, such as aluminum. This new family of materials can be potentially used for various applications. While they were originally intended for model surface science studies to mimic zeolites (the most used catalysts in the industry), other potential uses have emerged. They have been recently shown for example to prevent corrosion of a metallic surface. They can also act as atomic and molecular sieves and they can even trap single noble gas atoms in the nanocages they are made of. There are however still many limitations that need to be overcome if they are to be used in a larger scale. This paper summarizes the preparation and surface science characterization of this new family of materials as well as potential strategies for their less expensive synthesis.
