Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Porous catalysts are at the forefront of advancements in catalysis research, offering unique properties that enhance their effectiveness in various chemical reactions. This Special Issue, "Porous Catalysts: Synthesis and Catalytic Performance", aims to explore the latest developments in the synthesis, characterization, and application of porous catalysts. We welcome original research articles, reviews, and short communications that provide new insights into the design and preparation of porous catalysts, including but not limited to, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), zeolites, porous carbons, and hierarchical porous structures.

The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to:

  • Innovative synthesis methods for creating novel porous catalysts.
  • Advanced characterization techniques to understand pore structure, surface properties, and catalytic activity.
  • Applications of porous catalysts in different fields.
  • Studies on the relationship between pore structure and catalytic performance.

This Special Issue aims to bring together cutting-edge research that highlights the significant impact of porous catalysts in various applications, fostering a deeper understanding of their potential and paving the way for future innovations in the field.

Water pollution by dyes is a major environmental problem, particularly in the textile, food, and pharmaceutical industries. These dyes are often complex chemical compounds that are difficult to remediate due to their chemical stability, their solubility in water, and their resistance to conventional treatment processes such as filtration, coagulation, or decantation. Thus, to date, there is still a need to make water treatment processes more performant and cost-efficient. The main aim of this research is to prepare photocatalytically active MFI-type zeolites from natural clays and support iron oxide nanoparticles. These catalysts were characterized and evaluated for the capture and the photo-Fenton degradation of methylene blue (MB) in aqueous solution. After 10 min under photo-Fenton conditions, Fe/MTK-MFI presented almost complete removal of MB for up to four consecutive cycles. Full article
