Micro-Mesoporous Metallosilicates Up-to-date and in-depth text bridging the technology gap between fundamental research and industry-scale applications of porous materials for catalysis
Micro-Mesoporous Metallosilicates: Synthesis, Characterization, and Catalytic Applications comprehensively introduces the chemistry and catalytic technologies of metallosilicates, an important family of microporous crystalline zeolite and heteroatom-containing mesoporous materials, with a primary focus on design synthesis, characterization, theoretical studies, and catalytic applications of titanosilicates, tin-silicates, germanosilicates and Ti-mesosilica, and more.
The text covers recent advances in the synthesis of titanosilicates, including hydrothermal synthesis, dry-gel conversion, fluoride-assisted synthesis, and post-synthesis methods, along with the synthesis of metallosilicates with two-dimensional lamellar structures and their structural modifications as well as applications in selective oxidation reactions.
The text also discusses synthesis of germanosilicates with specially designed organic structure-directing agents, synthesis and catalytic applications of heteroatom-containing mesoporous silica, and dendritic mesoporous silica nanoparticles with unique wrinkled center-radial structures.
Overall, every important porous metallosilicate and its synthesis, characterization, pore engineering, catalytic application, and industrial technique and process are covered.
Specific sample topics discussed in Micro-Mesoporous Metallosilicates include:
- Chemical post-modifications of titanosilicates, in terms of the effects on transfer, adsorption/desorption, and surface reactions
- X-Ray based techniques, ultraviolet-visible-near infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and solid-state NMR spectroscopy
- Theoretical calculation as an effective tool and supplement to understand the catalytic active center, structural character, and Brønsted/Lewis acidity
- Titanosilicates in the liquid-phase epoxidation reaction of propylene and propylene chloride to corresponding epoxides
- Effects of particle sizes, oxidation state, and location sites of Au nanoparticles, and epoxidation performance of Ti-containing materials
Delivering cutting-edge research and bridging the technology gap between fundamental research and industrial applications, Micro-Mesoporous Metallosilicates is a valuable resource for chemists, materials scientists, chemical engineers, and experienced researchers in related fields.
Peng WU received his PhD in chemistry from Tokyo Institute of Technology (TIT), Japan in 1996. He worked on zeolite catalysis at TIT as a guest researcher (1996 - 1997 and 1998 - 1999). He was the COE researcher at Catalysis Research Center in Hokkaido University, Japan (1997 - 1998). He became a research associate at Yokohama National University, Japan (1999 - 2004). He joined East China Normal University in 2004 and was promoted to full professor of chemistry. He was selected as Cheung Kong Scholar Professor of Ministry of Education, China in 1999. He was a visiting professor at Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon, France in 2010.
Hao XU obtained her PhD in physical chemistry in 2014, from East China Normal University. After 1.5-year postdoc in École Normale Supérieure de Lyon, France, she became a lecturer in physical chemistry at ECNU in 2016 and is an associate professor since 2019. Her researchf ocuses on the design synthesis of novel zeolite catalysts via post modifications.
