Description
The developments in the area of ordered nanoporous solids have moved beyond the traditional catalytic and separation uses
and given rise to a wide variety of new applications in different branches of chemistry, physics, material science, etc. The activity
in this area is due to the outstanding properties of nanoporous materials that have attracted the attention of researchers
from different communities. However, recent achievements in a specific field often remain out of the focus of collaborating communities.
This work summarizes the latest developments and prospects in the area of ordered porous solids, including synthetic layered materials
(clays), microporous zeolite-type materials, ordered mesoporous solids, metal-organic-framework compounds (MOFs), carbon, etc. All aspects,
from synthesis via comprehensive characterization to the advanced applications of ordered porous materials, are presented. The chapters
are written by leading experts in their respective fields with an emphasis on recent progress and the state of the art.
Audience:
This book is suitable for research scientists in the area of physical chemistry, material science, catalysis, nanoporous materials, zeolites,
membranes, separations, adsorption, colloid and surface chemistry. It is also suitable for students and young researchers and practitioners.
