A variety of inorganic-organic hybrid materials and various methods for preparing and using the same are described. The hybrid materials are graphene or graphitic materials populated with organic molecules and may have a variety of surface defects, pits or three-dimensional architecture, thereby increasing the surface area of the material. The hybrid materials may take the form of three dimensional graphene nanosheets (3D GNS). If the organic molecules are enantiospecific molecules, the hybrid materials can be used for chiral separation of racemic mixtures.
A method for chiral separation of racemic mixtures comprising:
The method of claim wherein the racemic mixture is ibuprofen and the enantioselective molecule is (S)-(+)-2-pyrrolidinemethanol.
An apparatus for chiral separation of racemic mixtures, the apparatus comprising a column containing enantioselective two- or three-dimensional graphene or graphitic material.
An inorganic-organic hybrid material comprising a graphene, graphene-like or graphitic material comprising a plurality of surface defects, voids, or three-dimensional architecture, wherein the material is populated with organic molecules.
A method for forming an inorganic-organic hybrid material comprising:
