Mesoporous silica sieves are among the most studied nano-objects due to their stable pore
structure and easy preparation. In particular, MCM-41 have attracted increasing research …

Functionalized MCM‐41 constitute a group of potent hybrid catalysts for organic reactions.
Their pore size is large enough to house large substrate molecules, the large bulk of surface …

It is highly desirable to fabricate an accessible catalyst surface that can efficiently activate
reactants and desorb products to promote the local surface reaction equilibrium in …

Incorporating a hydrophobic Brønsted acid ionic liquid (HBAIL) inside the nanospaces of
SBA-15-Pr–SO3H led to a hydrophobic super Brønsted acid catalyst, which showed …

Combinatorial catalyst design is hardly generalizable, and the empirical aspect of the
research has biased the literature data toward accidentally found combinations. Here, 300 …

Confinement and cooperativity are important design principles used by Nature to optimize
catalytic activity in enzymes. In these biological systems, the precise sequence of the protein …

The immobilization of multiple functional groups on mesoporous silica has provided
opportunities to emulate the unique design principles and performances of enzymes. In this …

We describe a simple and general method for the preparation and molecular engineering of
supported trifunctional catalysts and their application in the representative Cu/TEMPO/NMI …

The kinetics of the ethyl acetate synthesis by direct addition of acetic acid to ethylene on an
industrial silicotungstic acid catalyst have been acquired experimentally by systematically …

Alumina-sulfuric acid has been developed as a cost-effective, recyclable, heterogeneous
solid acid catalyst for the eco-friendly synthesis of 9-aryl-1, 8-dioxododecahydroxanthenes …
