[EN] Approaching the level of molecular recognition of enzymes with solid catalysts is a challenging goal, achieved in this work for the competing transalkylation and disproportionation of diethylbenzene catalyzed by acid ...
[EN] Since the early reports by Barrer in the 1940s on converting natural minerals into synthetic zeolites, the use of precrystallized zeolites as crucial inorganic directing agents to synthesize other crystalline zeolites ...
[EN] The catalysts used in the methanol-to-olefins (MTO) reaction are considered dual systems comprising an inorganic zeolite framework and organic compounds hosted inside that act as cocatalysts. The influence of zeolite ...
[EN] By combining kinetics and theoretical calculations, we show here the benefits of going beyond the concept of static localized and defined active sites on solid catalysts, into a system that globally and dynamically ...
[EN] The methanol-to-olefins reaction catalyzed by small-pore cage-based acid zeolites and zeotypes produces a mixture of short chain olefins, whose selectivity to ethene, propene and butene varies with the cavity architecture ...
[EN] From theoretical calculations and a rational synthesis methodology, it has been possible to prepare nanocrystalline (60-80 nm) chabazite with an optimized framework Al distribution that has a positive impact on its ...

[EN] The present thesis focuses on the rationalization of the zeolite synthesis for
catalysis by understanding the nature of active sites and their microenvironments,
together with their influence on the mechanisms of ...
[EN] Subnanometric metal species (single atoms and clusters) have been demonstrated to be unique compared with their nanoparticulate counterparts. However, the poor stabilization of subnanometric metal species towards ...

[EN] Controlling the location of acid sites in zeolites can have a great effect on catalysis. In this work we face the objective of directing the location of AI into the 10R channels of ZSM-5 by taking advantage of the ...
[EN] Catalysis with enzymes and zeolites have in common the presence of well-defined single active sites and pockets/cavities where the reaction transition states can be stabilized by longer-range interactions. We show ...
[EN] The light olefin product distribution of the methanol-to-olefin (MTO) reaction catalyzed by acid zeolites and zeotypes depends on the nature of the entrapped hydrocarbon pool species that act as co-catalysts. The ...
