Synthesis and Characterization of Sn, Ge, and Zr Isomorphous Substituted MFI Nanosheets for Glucose Isomerization to Fructose.

Abstract

Invited for a cover feature this month is the research group of Asst. Prof. Dr. Chularat Wattanakit from School of Energy Science and Engineering, Vidyasirimedhi Institute of Science and Technology (VISTEC), Thailand. The cover picture shows the facile synthesis of Sn, Ge, and Zr isomorphously substituted MFI with hierarchical structures by a one-pot hydrothermal process. These designed materials illustrate the promising catalytic performance in glucose isomerization to fructose. More information can be found in the Full Paper by Chularat Wattanakit, and co-workers.
