An emerging strategy for synthesizing nanoclusters and nanoparticles involves the
confinement of particle precursors within small volumes and the subsequent reduction and …

Many crystallization processes of great importance, including frost heave, biomineralization,
the synthesis of nanomaterials, and scale formation, occur in small volumes rather than bulk …

Templating with colloidal crystals composed of monodisperse spheres is a convenient
chemical method to obtain porous materials with well-ordered periodicity and …

As important industrial materials, microporous zeolites are necessarily synthesized in the
presence of solvents such as in hydrothermal, solvothermal, and ionothermal routes. We …

Mesoporous zeolites are useful solid catalysts for conversion of bulky molecules because
they offer fast mass transfer along with size and shape selectivity. We report here the …

The nanoarchitecture engineering of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) is a fascinating but
intellectually challenging concept that opens up avenues for both tailoring the properties of …

Tuning MOFs: When a metal-organic framework (MOF) with an ordered three-dimensional
macroporous structure is integrated into a film, the resulting materials have an additional …

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are an expanding class of porous crystalline materials
that are built up from nodes of metal ions connected by organic linkers. While most efforts …

Zeolite-based catalysts have been widely used in the conversion of biomass recently, but
the catalytic yields of the desired products are strongly limited by the relatively small …

Industrially, oxidation of alcohols is very important as they are starting materials for a variety
of ketones, aldehydes, acids, etc. required to produce plastics, detergents, paints, cosmetics …
