Porous Materials for Sustainable Green Catalysis
The advancement of our collective understanding in the field of porous materials for sustainable green catalysis is crucial as we face urgent environmental challenges and the need for sustainable energy solutions. The integration of porous materials into catalytic processes has opened new avenues for improving efficiency, selectivity and stability while minimizing waste. Significant advances have been made, including the development of zeolites, mesoporous materials, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs), which have demonstrated remarkable catalytic performance in various reactions.
Future research holds immense potential, with speculations ranging from the design of novel porous materials with tailored properties to their application in industrial catalysis, biocatalysis, H2 production and carbon capture technologies. By continuing this research, we can drive progress toward achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in clean energy (SDG 7) and climate action (SDG 13), ultimately fostering a sustainable future for our planet.
We invite researchers to contribute to this special Collection by submitting research articles, brief communications, perspectives, reviews, and analyses.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Synthesis of porous materials
- Catalytic performance evaluation
- Green synthesis methods
- Application in environmental remediation
- CO2 conversion technologies
- Biocatalysis in porous matrices
- Design of multifunctional porous catalysts
- Mechanistic studies of catalysis
