Microporous And Mesoporous Materials

Microporous and Mesoporous Materials covers novel and significant aspects of porous solids classified as either microporous (pore size up to 2 nm) or mesoporous (pore size 2 to 50 nm). The porosity should have a specific impact on the material properties or application. Typical examples are zeolites and zeolite-like materials, pillared materials, clathrasils and clathrates, carbon molecular sieves, ordered mesoporous materials, organic/inorganic porous hybrid materials, or porous metal oxides. Both natural and synthetic porous materials are within the scope of the journal.

Topics which are particularly of interest include:

All aspects of natural microporous and mesoporous solids

The synthesis of crystalline or amorphous porous materials

The physico-chemical characterization of microporous and mesoporous solids, especially spectroscopic and microscopic

The modification of microporous and mesoporous solids, for example by ion exchange or solid-state reactions

All topics related to diffusion of mobile species in the pores of microporous and mesoporous materials

Adsorption (and other separation techniques) using microporous or mesoporous adsorbents

Catalysis by microporous and mesoporous materials

Host/guest interactions

Theoretical chemistry and modelling of host/guest interactions

All topics related to the application of microporous and mesoporous materials in industrial catalysis, separation technology, environmental protection, electrochemistry, membranes, sensors, optical devices, etc.
