Zeolites encapsulated metal and metal oxide species (regarded as metal@zeolite) is an important type of heterogeneous catalysts. They give performances that steadily outperform the traditional ...

Endowed with a network of interconnected, molecule-sized pores and channels, zeolites have been used in chemical separations, oil refining, and catalysis for decades ...

Engineered surfactants direct the formation of microporous nanosheets exhibiting superior catalytic lifetimes. Zeolites — minerals formed from silicon and aluminum — have intricate networks of acidic ...

Thanks to various crystalline topologies, tunable chemical composition, high (hydro)thermal stability, and controllable surface acidity/basicity, zeolites are widely used in petroleum refining, ...

Chemical engineers at MIT have designed a cobalt catalyst that transforms polymers into propane selectively and efficiently (JACS Au, 2022, DOI: 10.1021/jacsau.2c00402). This method could provide an ...

A chemical reaction can convert two polluting greenhouse gases into valuable building blocks for cleaner fuels and feedstocks, but the high temperature required for the reaction also deactivates the ...

Fuel from waste? It is possible. But hitherto, converting organic waste to fuel has not been economically viable. Excessively high temperatures and too much energy are required. Using a novel catalyst ...

(Nanowerk News) Zeolites crystals, used among other things for refining petroleum to gasoline and biomass into biofuels, are the most-used catalysts by weight on the planet, and discovering mechanisms ...

A research team discovers new zeolite catalysts for catalytic cracking applications. A research team at POSTECH has uncovered a promising new zeolite, anticipated to be a turning point for the oil ...

An eco-friendly system capable of producing propylene oxide (PO) without external electricity or sunlight has been developed.
