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 …

Light olefins are important feedstocks and platform molecules for the chemical industry.
Their synthesis has been a research priority in both academia and industry. There are many …

Zeolite chemistry and catalysis are expected to play a decisive role in the next decade (s) to
build a more decentralized renewable feedstock-dependent sustainable society owing to the …

Unveiling catalytic mechanisms at a molecular level aids rational catalyst design and
selectivity control for process optimization. In this study, we find that the Brønsted acid site …

Acid-catalyzed reactions inside zeolites are one type of broadly applied industrial reactions,
where carbocations are the most common intermediates of these reaction processes …

Within this Perspective, we critically reflect on the role of first-principles molecular dynamics
(MD) simulations in unraveling the catalytic function within zeolites under operating …

Germanosilicate zeolites with various structures have been extensively synthesized, but the
syntheses of corresponding zeolite structures in the absence of germanium species remain …

The philosophy of “Ikigai”─ a reason for being─ could be extended to rationalize the role of
organic reaction intermediates in zeolite catalysis. Each reaction intermediate's ikigai is …

Hollow nanoreactors show great potential in catalysis due to the void‐confinement effect.
Yet few studies have investigated the void‐confinement effect of hollow nanoreactors on …

Part of tetrahedral framework aluminum in a protonic mordenite (HMOR) will convert
geometry to distorted tetrahedral and octahedral coordination. High‐field 27Al NMR data …
