Superuniform nanosized gates (nanogates; 0.41 « 0.02 nm in size) were donated on graphene sheets of single wall carbon nanohorn (SWCNH) particles by controlled oxidation. Superuniform nanogate donation confers high molecular selectivity and large adsorption capacity upon SWCNH. The molecular selectivity of CO 2 over CH 4 attains 17 below 0.01 MPa by the nanogate separation.A new clean energy source for achieving a stable energy supply and reducing the emission of greenhouse gases such as CO 2 is in great demand. Biogas is a promising energy source for a clean and environmentally friendly fuel. The main components of biogas are 3070% CH 4 and 2060% CO 2 .
