The Development of Chemistry for Molecular Sieves and Porous Materials

3 The Development of Chemistry for Molecular Sieves and Porous Materials 

In the past half century, with the expansion of structure types and compositions of porous materials, the number of application fields and the total demand for these materials have been continuously growing, and meanwhile, the characterization techniques and instrumentation have been greatly improved. As a result, our comprehension of the chemistry of molecular sieves and porous materials has been deepened to a great extent. Here, we take two main branches in the chemistry of molecular sieves and porous materials as examples to illustrate how zeolite science has been developed.
