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

Researchers discover crystalline zeolites in a nanotubular (1D) shape. Zeolites, which are crystalline porous materials, are very widely used in the production of chemicals, fuels, materials, and ...

An international team of researchers recently synthesized polyarylether-based covalent organic frameworks, the most stable crystalline porous material on record. The team, which includes the ...

(Nanowerk News) Chemical engineers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign now understand how water molecules assemble and change shape in some settings, revealing a new strategy to speed up ...

A professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering has summarized methods of making zeolites in the lab and examined how the emergence of data analytics and machine learning are aiding zeolite ...

(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 ...

Activated and porous carbons along with zeolites and molecular sieves largely owe their industrial value to the ability to control the rate of transport of different molecules. This characteristic ...

Researchers in Mexico have used zeolites – porous aluminosilicate minerals widely used in water purification – to detect toxic lead in water for the first time. The team’s new one-step technique, ...

Zeolite adsorbents, known for their highly porous crystalline structures and selective adsorption capabilities, are essential ...
