Abstract

Methods of preparing a porous robust support to host an ultra-thin enzyme-assisted membrane, and a new membrane system that can be used for gas filtration purposes to remove/separate carbon dioxide or other gases from a gas mixture such as those from power production or enhanced oil recovery or fuel production or air and recycle/collect/utilize carbon dioxide are disclosed herein. A method may include protecting the surface with a blocking material and polishing the protected surface, coating a thin layer of silica nanospheres onto the polished surface, coating a silica sol-gel and surfactant solution onto the nanospheres, and then removing the surfactant and blocking material to generate a well-defined porous structure with nanochannels.
