Gas permeation characteristics of carbon nanomembranes (CNMs) from self-assembled monolayers are reported for the first time. The assembly of CNMs onto polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) support membranes allows determination of gas permeation characteristics. Single layer and triple layer CNMs with thicknesses of 1 nm and 3 nm were investigated in respect to permeation of hydrogen, helium, carbon dioxide, oxygen, nitrogen, argon, methane and ethane. In addition, the CNM-PDMS composites were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, helium-ion microscopy as well as atomic force microscopy. A careful analysis about the contribution of the PDMS support membranes to the gas permeation allowed an estimate of the intrinsic CNM permeances. These values indicate a molecular sieve-like property of CNMs which is attributed to molecular-sized channels in CNMs.
