A gas separation membrane including a porous layered support; and a gas separating active layer which is disposed on the porous layered support and includes a functionalized graphene.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A gas separation membrane comprising: a porous layered support; and a gas separating active layer which is disposed on the porous layered support and which consists of 2 to 100 layers of a functionalized graphene, wherein the gas separating active layer is effective to separate H 2 and CO 2 , H 2 and CO, H 2 and CH 4 , H 2 and N 2 , He and N 2 , N 2 and CO 2 , CH 4 and CO 2 , or a combination thereof, and comprises a crack having a width of about 100 nanometers or less. 2. The gas separation membrane of claim 1 , wherein the functionalized graphene is a graphene oxide, a reduced graphene oxide, or a combination thereof. 3. The gas separation membrane of claim 2 , wherein the functionalized graphene has a C/O content ratio of about 1 to about 9.5. 4. The gas separation membrane of claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the gas separating active layer is about 1 nanometer to about 6 micrometers. 5. The gas separating membrane of claim 1 , wherein the functionalized graphene further comprises a nitrogen functional group, a phosphorus functional group, a sulfur functional group, a hydrocarbon functional group, a halogen functional group, or a combination thereof. 6. The gas separating membrane of claim 1 , wherein the functionalized graphene is in the form of a flake. 7. The gas separation membrane of claim 1 , wherein the porous layered support comprises a metal, a ceramic, or a polymer, or a combination thereof. 8. The gas separation membrane of claim 7 , wherein the metal is iron, steel, or a combination thereof. 9. The gas separation membrane of claim 7 , wherein the ceramic is at least one selected from glass, Al 2 O 3 , zirconia, TiO 2 , zeolite, or a combination thereof. 10. The gas separation membrane of claim 7 , wherein the polymer is polysulfone, polyvinylidene fluoride, cellulose, polyacrylonitrile, polyethersulfone, polyimide, or a combination thereof. 11. A gas separator comprising the gas separation membrane of claim 1 .
