Gaining insight into the mode of operation of heterogeneous catalysts is of great scientific
and economic interest. Raman spectroscopy has proven its potential as a powerful …

This review addresses the most relevant aspects of vibrational spectroscopies (IR, Raman
and INS) applied to zeolites and zeotype materials. Surface Brønsted and Lewis acidity and …

Since two decades, time‐dependent density functional theory (TD‐DFT) has been in the
limelight due to its noteworthy efficiency. Indeed, in many cases, TD‐DFT provides accurate …

ZSM-5 is a widely used zeolite catalyst and is employed industrially for the methanol to
gasoline (MTG) process. Even so, deactivation of ZSM-5 by coke formation constitutes a …

The production of carbon-rich hydrocarbons via CO2 valorization is essential for the
transition to renewable, non-fossil-fuel-based energy sources. However, most of the recent …

Catalyst deactivation during the methanol-to-hydrocarbons (MTH) reaction was investigated
using five different commercially prepared microporous catalysts, including Mordenite, ZSM …

Methanol dehydration on solid acid catalysts is a fundamental step in many industrial
chemical processes, such as methanol to dimethyl ether (MTD) and methanol to olefin …

A systematic investigation of two sets of defect free and defective ZSM-5 crystals with
controlled thickness (T) between 30 and 400 nm and of their performances in methanol …

This work presents the synthesis of nearly defect-free ZSM-5 nanosized crystals, prepared in
fluoride medium by seeding with silicalite-1. This material was carefully characterized and its …

The zeolite nanosheet composites, containing a high acidic density ZSM-5 and weak-acidic
Silicalite-1 nanosheets (Si-NS) acting as a core and a shell, respectively, have been …
