Zeolites, MOFs, and Porous Catalytic Materials
Porous materials play a vital role in modern catalysis due to their tunable structures and high surface areas. This session covers the design and application of zeolites, MOFs, COFs, and hybrid frameworks. Topics include pore size control, acid site distribution, and framework stability. Researchers will present functionalized MOFs for gas separation, CO₂ storage, and redox reactions. Novel synthesis techniques like solvothermal, microwave, and solvent-free methods will be explored. Application in petrochemicals, environmental remediation, and bio-conversion will be discussed. Presenters will address structure–activity relationships and computational predictions. Challenges in scalability and industrial deployment will also be reviewed.
