Looking back at 2020, we would like to share with you some of the great research that has been published in RSC Advances over the year. We are proud to present a selection of the most popular 2020 inorganic chemistry papers, reviews and HOT articles published so far.
We hope you enjoy reading these articles and as always, all our articles are open access – free to read and accessible to everyone.
| 2020 HOT articles |
Over the year, our reviewers and Associate Editors have handpicked articles of particular interest and marked them as HOT. We are very pleased to highlight some outstanding 2020 inorganic chemistry HOT articles:
Hierarchical micro-/mesoporous zeolite microspheres prepared by colloidal assembly of zeolite nanoparticles
Walter Rosas-Arbelaez, Anders E. C. Palmqvist et al., DOI: 10.1039/D0RA07394F
Walter Rosas Arbelaez and Professor Anders Palmqvist (Chalmers University of Technology)
‘The focus of the article was to develop a zeolite material with two different porosities (micro and meso) using silicalite-1 nanoparticles (ca. 100 nm) and aggregate them by a controlled evaporation process into well-defined micron-sized spheres. In addition, the process does not use any template to form mesopores but only by the interspace generated between the particles after their aggregation. We find this topic of high interest, since many similar materials have been prepared using mesopore templates and/or need long preparation times and high temperature, parameters that have a big impact in the production economics at large scale.’
