A molecular switch, or molecule that changes in response to varying environmental stimuli, has successfully modified the acidity of a zeolite catalyst to improve the yield of paraxylene from methanol ...

Direct visualization of spatiotemporal evolution of molecules and active sites during chemical transformation in individual catalyst crystal will accelerate the intuitive understanding of ...

Zeolites, crystalline materials widely used in the petrochemical industry, serve as pivotal catalysts in the production of fine chemicals, with aluminum being the source of active sites within zeolite ...

Zeolites are extremely porous materials: Ten grams can have an internal surface area the size of a soccer field. Their cavities make them useful in catalyzing chemical reactions and thus saving energy ...

CAS Academician, Prof. Jihong Yu, and her team from Jilin University developed a post-treatment strategy based on metal replacement reaction using commercial ZSM-5 zeolite as a carrier, and ...

Zeolites are crystalline aluminosilicate materials defined by uniform microporous frameworks that confer exceptional molecular sieving, ion-exchange and acid-catalytic properties. Traditional ...

Chemical and biological engineering major David Frankel is exploring a potential solution to stubborn plastic waste, advised ...
