Zeolites are built up by TO 4 tetrahedra (where T represents the central tetrahedrally coordinated atom) forming definite crystalline structures that enclose a large number of small cavities, which ...

A PolyU research team from the Department of Applied Biology and Chemical Technology has successfully mapped the precise locations of individual and paired aluminium atoms in the zeolite framework.

Researchers have developed a new aluminosilicate zeolite, ZMQ-1, which features a unique intersecting meso-microporous channel system that is expected to enhance catalytic processes in the ...

Zeolites are now used in a wide range of applications, including as molecular sieves, catalysts and gas exchange. As the transport properties through the zeolite are heavily dependent on pore size and ...

What does one do when they want a zeolite-like material, but with more space? A common conundrum, I know. Extending inorganic chemistry research that began in the early part of this decade, ...

This makes the zeolite, dubbed ITQ-39, a promising catalyst for converting naphtha into diesel fuel, a process for which there is no known commercial catalyst. The material could also increase the ...

Controlling the transport properties through a zeolite and the rates of diffusion and size of molecules that can be stored or transported are key in developing and optimizing zeolites for various ...

The formation of mesopores in microporous zeolites is generally performed by postsynthesis acid, basic, and steam treatments. The hierarchical pore systems thus formed allow better adsorption, ...

A newly discovered family of chemical structures could increase the value of biogas and natural gas that contains carbon dioxide. A newly discovered family of chemical structures, published in Nature ...

Scientists at the Polytechnic University of Valencia in Spain and Stockholm University in Sweden have found that a new zeolite they have synthesised has the most complex structure reported to date.
