An overview on strategies towards clay-based designer catalysts for green and sustainable catalysis

TL;DR: Hollow mesoporous sodalite nanospheres (HMSN) were facilely fabricated by a one-pot template-free hydrothermal route using natural halloysite as a silicon-aluminum source.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed two new approaches for pore structure analysis, both based on adsorption isotherms: one for the analysis of very narrow pores, the micropores, and one for analysis of the wider pores.

TL;DR: In this article, the state-of-the-art Ni-based catalysts with different confinement types, including pore channel confinement, core-shell structure confinement, interlayer structure confinement and crystalline lattice confinement, have been summarized.

TL;DR: The nature and production of x-rays diffraction effects structures, composition, properties and occurences of clay minerals sample preparation techniques for clay minerals identification of individual clay minerals and associated mineral identification of mixed layered clay minerals quantitative analysis as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: It is shown that appropriately designed bifunctional surfactants can direct the formation of zeolite structures on the mesoporous and microporous length scales simultaneously and thus yield MFI (ZSM-5, one of the most important catalysts in the petrochemical industry) zeolites that are only 2 nm thick, which corresponds to the b-axis dimension of a single MFI unit cell.

TL;DR: This paper provides a comprehensive review and critical analysis on the different reaction pathways for catalytic conversion of glycerol into commodity chemicals, including selective oxidation, selective hydrogenolysis, selective dehydration, pyrolysis and gasification, steam reforming, thermal reduction into syngas, selective transesterification, selective etherification, oligomerization and polymerization, and conversion of Glycerol carbonate.
