Developments in the Catalysis Study of Porous Materials

The first use of molecular sieves in catalysis occurred in 1959 when zeolite Y was used as a catalyst for isomerization reactions. In 1962, the Mobil Company used zeolite X in the 

In the past decades, great progress has been made in various fields related to molecular sieves and porous materials, such as synthesis and catalysis, structural chemistry, adsorption and diffusion, characterization, and porous composite chemistry. In particular, the overlap of molecular sieve science with other related sciences, including physics, mathematics, computer science, materials science, and biology, has promoted the in-depth development of the chemistry of molecular sieves and porous materials.
