Zeolites are a family of microporous crystalline materials, which, since the 1940s, have had
an indispensable role in the chemical industry as catalysts, adsorbents and ion exchangers …

The local reaction environment of catalytic active sites can be manipulated to modify the
kinetics and thermodynamic properties of heterogeneous catalysis. Because of the unique …

Metal substitution of molecular sieve systems is a major driving force in develo** novel
catalytic processes to meet current demands of green chemistry concepts and to achieve …

The direct synthesis of hydrogen peroxide (H2+ O2→ H2O2) may enable low-cost H2O2
production and reduce environmental impacts of chemical oxidations. Here, we synthesize a …

Zeolites have been game-changing materials in oil refining and petrochemistry over the last
60 years and have the potential to play the same role in the emerging processes of the …

Solvent molecules interact with reactive species and alter the rates and selectivities of
catalytic reactions by orders of magnitude. Specifically, solvent molecules can modify the …

Zeolite nonclassical growth via particle attachment has been proposed for two decades, yet
the attachment mechanism and kinetic regulation remain elusive. Here, nonclassical growth …

The net rate of a reversible chemical reaction is the difference between unidirectional rates
of traversal along forward and reverse reaction paths. In a multistep reaction sequence, the …

Catalytic reactions involve the direct interaction of reactants, intermediates and products with
the catalyst surface. We not only need to control the atomic structure and electronic …

Solvent structures that surround active sites reorganize during catalysis and influence the
stability of surface intermediates. Within zeolite pores, H2O molecules form hydrogen …
