Zeolites are robust and environmentally friendly heterogeneous catalysts. They contain framework metal ions, which act as Bronsted or Lewis acid sites. In particular, …
Metal nanoparticles on a support are typical hydrogenation catalysts. Zeolite-like(molecular sieve) supports introduce shape selectivity, stabilize metal nanoparticles and provide additional catalytic function. Bimetallic catalysts may be more advantageous than …
We explore the interactions of metal nanoparticles with zeolitic support. These insights allow us to prepare well-distributed, stable subnanometric metal particles immobilized at zeolites, with special interests in novel, layered-based …
Around 200 of 850 industrial catalytic processes utilize zeolites. Although traditional synthetic approaches are excellent tools for tuning the chemical composition of zeolite catalysts, they are still unable to control …
Development of novel photo(electro)catalysts for conversion of green-house gas CO2 is crucial to reach sustainable approach in carbon economy. Our work is focused on synthesis of advanced hybrid materials using …
