Nanostructured aluminosilicates including aluminosilicate nanorods are formed by heating a geopolymer resin containing up to about 90 mol % water in a closed container at a temperature between about 70&#xb0; C. and about 200&#xb0; C. for a length of time up to about one week to yield a first material including the aluminosilicate nanorods. The aluminosilicate nanorods have an average width of the between about 5 nm and about 30 or between about 5 nm and about 60 nm or between about 5 nm and about 100 nm, and a majority of the aluminosilicate nanorods have an aspect ratio between about 2 and about 100.
