Microporous materials have a wide range of applications, industrially used as catalysts, molecular sieves and ion-exchangers, zeolites are an important class of microporous material that have generated a huge amount of academic and industrial interest in modern times. With over 200 framework types officially recognized by the Structure Commission of the International Zeolite Association, there is also wide diversity in chemical structure and functionality.
This Hot Perspective by Roberto Millini et al. summarises the latest developments in the field of zeolites, with a focus on areas of innovation such as synthetic procedures, framework composition, hybrid materials and morphologies.
