Two-Dimensional Nanoporous Silicates and Their Potential Applications

Zhong J.Q., Kestell J., Akter N., Kim T., Wang M., Lu D., Galuskina I., Stacchiola D.J., Boscoboinik J.A., Brookhaven National Laboratory, US

Ultra-thin two-dimensional inorganic nanoporous silicates have been recently synthesized. They are as thin as 0.5 nm, can be produced in the form of ordered structures or glasses and doped with other elements, such as aluminum. [...]

Mexican natural zeolites: A low cost alternative to pigment retention

Loera-Serna S., Ortiz Elba, Solis Hugo, Medina-Velazquez D.Y., Universidad Autonoma Metropolitana-Azcapotzalco, MX

Several materials such as synthetic zeolites, clays and aluminas were studied as sorbent pigments. Majority of materials need pre-treatment to be capable to absorb molecules on the porous structure. These treatments include thermal treatment, washing [...]

Adsorption-Enhanced Compressed Air Energy Storage

Havel T.F., Energy Compression Inc., US

Adsorption-Enhanced Compressed Air Energy Storage (AE-CAES) uses nano-porous materials to adsorb air. The use of an adsorbent changes the effective equation of state for air, so that it becomes possible to operate the system at [...]

Monte Carlo Studies of the Effect of Temperature, Si/Al, and Metal Loading on the Templated Synthesis of Pt Nanowires in MOR-type Zeolites

Huertas-Miranda J.A., Martínez-Iñesta M.M., University of Puerto Rico, US

Previous molecular simulation studies in our group using Metropolis Monte Carlo (MMC) technique suggested that lower Si to Al ratios (Si/Al) favored energetically the positioning of Ni atoms inside the one-dimensional main pore channels of [...]

NanoZeolites – small particles, small pore, big impact! Porous nanoparticles for environmental applications

Daniell W., Kohl A., Sauer J., NanoScape AG, DE

NanoScape has developed hydrothermal synthesis techniques which allow nanocrystalline, porous aluminosilicates (NanoZeolites) to be manufactured, currently on a 100kg p.a. scale. A range of NanoZeolites are available with pore sizes ranging from 3A to 100A. [...]

NanoZeolites – porous nanomaterials for cleantech, encapsulation and triggered release applications

Daniell W., Sauer J., Kohl A., NanoScape AG, DE

Recent advances in hydrothermal synthesis techniques and procedures to modify the surfaces of the particles have led to the development of a new class of material – the NanoZeolites. The availability of porous, nanocrystalline materials [...]

Colloidal Structure-directing-agent-free Hydroxy-sodalite Nanocrystals

Yao J.F., Wang H.T., Monash University, AU

This presentation describes a unique approach to the synthesis of colloidal structure-directing-agent-free hydroxy-sodalite nanocrystals by using silicalite nanocrystals as a silica source.Under the aid of TPAOH molecules trapped in the dried silicalite nanocrystals, the silicalite [...]
