The present review details a chronological description of the events that took place during
the development of mesoporous materials, their different synthetic routes and their use as …

This review presents the state-of-the-art of adsorption characterization of mesoporous and
microporous materials by using the density functional theory (DFT) methods. The DFT …

When a solid surface accommodates guest molecules, they induce noticeable stresses to
the surface and cause its strain. Nanoporous materials have high surface area and …

Mesoporous organic–inorganic hybrid materials, a new class of materials characterized by
large specific surface areas and pore sizes between 2 and 15 nm, have been obtained …

In this review, the progress made in the last ten years concerning the synthesis of porous
carbon materials is summarized. Porous carbon materials with various pore sizes and pore …

Technical advances in various fields, such as adsorption, separation, catalysis, drug
delivery, sensors, photonics, and nanodevices, require the development of ordered porous …

Ordered mesoporous catalysts could open the door for new catalytic processes, based partly
on novel principles, owing to their hitherto unprecedented intrinsic features. For the …

Spatial confinement in nanoporous media affects the structure, thermodynamics and mobility
of molecular soft matter often markedly. This article reviews thermodynamic equilibrium …

Nanosciences will be, as biology, one of the fields that will contribute to a high level of
scientific and technological development along the 21st century. Nanostructured inorganic …

A very large number of different synthesis approaches for the preparation of mesoporous
materials has been reported in literature since the first development of ordered mesoporous …
