Porous materials are involved in many chemical reactions that affect our daily lives. Despite their wide use, there is little knowledge about them. An international team of researchers have just shed ...

Zeolites encapsulated metal and metal oxide species (regarded as metal@zeolite) is an important type of heterogeneous catalysts. They give performances that steadily outperform the traditional ...

(Nanowerk News) Zeolites are porous materials with perfectly regular pores and high surface area that can act as molecular sieves. This property has led to important applications including the ...

Endowed with a network of interconnected, molecule-sized pores and channels, zeolites have been used in chemical separations, oil refining, and catalysis for decades ...

Canonical wisdom in zeolite science says that zeolites are, at best, thermodynamically meta-stable. Zeolites, as we have covered before, are materials that are made of little pyramids of silica (SiO 2 ...

Zeolites, which are crystalline porous materials, are very widely used in the production of chemicals, fuels, materials, and other products. So far, zeolites have been made as 3D or 2D materials. This ...

Today’s fuels rely mainly on petroleum. Scientists are exploring for ways to manufacture fuels that do not require petroleum as demand rises. A team of researchers set out to investigate the function ...
