Zeolites with ordered microporous systems, distinct framework topologies, good spatial
nanoconfinement effects, and superior (hydro) thermal stability are an ideal scaffold for …

Catalysis is at the core of chemistry and has been essential to make all the goods
surrounding us, including fuels, coatings, plastics and other functional materials. In the near …

The Brønsted acidity of proton-exchanged zeolites has historically led to the most impactful
applications of these materials in heterogeneous catalysis, mainly in the fields of …

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 …

The structure of aluminum-containing moieties in and within zeolite H-ZSM-5 catalysts is a
complex function of the elemental composition of the catalyst, synthesis conditions …

The character of coke is typically regarded as a “deactivator” in zeolite catalysis. We report
the interdependence of coke nature and location with its true character in the mechanisms of …

Understanding the acid sites on zeolites is vital for the establishment of catalyst structure–
activity relationship and exploration of their potential applications in heterogeneous …

Despite the extensive industrial and research interests in zeolites, their intrinsic catalytic
nature is not fully understood due to the complexity of the hydroxyl-aluminum moieties. 17O …

While the structures of Brønsted acid sites (BAS) in zeolites are well understood, those of
Lewis acid sites (LAS) remain an active area of investigation. Under hydrated conditions, the …

Zeolites, although key materials used in industrial processes, remain poorly understood on a
molecular level despite their well-defined crystal lattices. In fact, obtaining a direct …
