Zeolites have been widely used as catalysts, ion exchangers, and adsorbents since their
industrial breakthrough in the 1950s and continue to be state-of the-art adsorbents in many …

This review addresses the recent developments and trends in tailoring the nature and local
properties of active sites in zeolite-based catalysts, with a special focus on novel extra-large …

Composites incorporating two-dimensional nanostructures within polymeric matrices have
potential as functional components for several technologies, including gas separation …

Microporous zeolite-type materials, with crystalline porous structures formed by well-defined
channels and cages of molecular dimensions, have been widely employed as …

'Hierarchy'is a property which can be attributed to a manifold of different immaterial systems,
such as ideas, items and organisations or material ones like biological systems within living …

Zeolites are well-known as valuable crystalline solids with framework structures containing
discrete micropores of molecular dimensions that accommodate exchangeable …

Starting from the late seventies, the progressively increased availability of synchrotron light
sources allowed the execution of experiments requiring a high X-ray flux in a continuous …

The different local environment of atoms exposed at solid surfaces compared to atoms in the
bulk is the driving force for many physical and chemical processes. There are two …

This review highlights recent developments in the synthesis and unconventional
applications of nanosized microporous crystals including framework (zeolites) and layered …

The increasing environmental concern and promotion of “green processes” are forcing the
substitution of traditional acid and base homogeneous catalysts by solid ones. Among these …
