Claim 14:
15. The method of claim 1, wherein the metal silicate has a formula of:

(M2)q(SiO4)r(OH)s(L2)t,

wherein:
M2 comprises at least one element selected from the group consisting of a Group IA, Group IIA, Group IIIA, Group IVA, Group IB, Group IIB, Group TIM, Group IVB, Group VB, Group VIB, and Group VIIIB element,
wherein each occurrence of M2 can comprise one element, two identical elements, or two distinct elements;

L2 is a neutral ligand, wherein the neutral ligand is optionally H2O; and
wherein q, r, s, and t are each independently numbers which are selected such that the metal silicate has a net zero charge,
wherein each number is independently optionally an integer.
