3 The Main Application Fields and Prospects for Mesoporous Materials 

Since the ordered mesoporous material MCM-41 was reported in 1992,[1 31 comprehensive research on the potential applications of mesoporous materials has been carried out, with focus on their catalysis, adsorption, and the preparation of novel advanced materials. Their applications in catalysis have attracted the most intense attention. 

In green oxidation reactions, zeolite TS-1 is the typical catalyst. Since the size of its channels ranges from 5 to 6 A, TS-1 can be used as the catalyst only for benzene and phenol conversion. However, ordered mesoporous titanium silicate materials have pores large enough for the catalytic reactions of bulkier molecules, and this is very important for the production of fine chemicals. For example, for the oxidation reaction of terpineol, Ti-MCM-41 performs much better than do microporous titanium silicate molecular sieves as a catalyst.1-291
