In this critical review we examine the current state of our knowledge in respect of the nature
of the active sites in copper containing zeolites for the selective conversion of methane to …

The exceptional catalytic performance of zeolites is due to the presence of active sites in a
shape-selective environment, ie, in micropores with molecular dimensions. The present …

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 …

Surface hydroxyl groups are active centers in many catalytic reactions and can play an
important role during catalyst preparation. In this chapter, the application of infrared …

Hierarchically nanoporous zeolites possessing mesopores as well as the inherent
micropores of zeolite structures are garnering attention as a solution to the diffusion …

The preparation of hierarchical zeolites with reduced diffusion limitation and enhanced
catalyst efficiency has become a vital focus in the field of zeolites and porous materials …
