Microporous zeolites with uniform and molecular-size pores have been widelyused in many fields such as ion-exchange, adsorption, separation, and industrialcatalysts. However, they cannot effectively deal with large molecules due to thelimitation of the micropore size. Mesoporous materials attract considerable attentiondue to larger mesopores, narrow pore size distributions, adjustable pore size andordered structures.
Compared with zeolite, mesoporous materials have weaker hydrothermalstability an...
