Zeolites: Hierarchical FAU‐ and LTA‐Type Zeolites by Post‐Synthetic Design: A New Generation of Highly Efficient Base Catalysts (Adv. Funct. Mater. 15/2013)

Abstract

On page 1923 Javier Pérez-Ramírez and co-workers establish methods involving acid and optionally base treatments to prepare hierarchical FAU and LTA-type zeolites. By conquering the latter Al-rich frameworks, the full compositional and topological flexibility desired in the design of hierarchical zeolites by post-synthetic strategies is accomplished. Upon functionalization, the mesoporous X, Y, and A zeolites display superior performance as base catalysts. Carolina Flores is acknowledged for perfecting the cover artwork.
