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 …

Understanding the structure–property relationship of solids is of utmost relevance for
efficient chemical processes and technological applications in industries. This contribution …

Interest in liquid-phase reactions over heterogeneous catalysts is growing rapidly, partially
because of the desire to find efficient methods for biomass conversion to renewable fuels …

Water is the sustainable solvent of excellence, but its high polarity limits the solubility of non-
polar compounds. Confinement of water in hydrophobic pores alters its hydrogen bonding …

Upon liquid phase adsorption of C1–C5 primary alcohols on high silica MFI zeolites (Si/Al=
11.5–140), the concentration of adsorbed molecules largely exceeds the concentration of …

The effect of dynamic reorganization and confinement of isolated TiIV catalytic centers
supported on silicates is investigated for olefin epoxidation. Active sites consist of grafted …

Solid-state NMR spectroscopy (ssNMR) can provide details about the structure, host–
guest/guest–guest interactions and dynamic behavior of materials at atomic length scales. A …

Despite of extensive attention on the ethanol to butadiene (ETB) conversion, the catalyst
deactivation during ETB conversion is rarely investigated and poorly understood. Here, the …

The nature and spectroscopic expression of external surface sites of zeolites, in particular
ZSM-5, is a long-debated question. Herein, we use three cutting-edge techniques: Fourier …
