ZEOLITES

Rational design of zeolite catalysts

Nature Catalysis volume 1, pages 488–489 (2018)Cite this article

Subjects

The identification of organic structure-directing agents capable of tailoring the physicochemical properties of microporous materials has remained a challenge. Now, a unique methodology to design organic mimics of reaction intermediates provides a route to optimize the selectivity of zeolite catalysts.
