| Abstract Scope |
The development, characterization and applications of porous materials are critical for sustainable conversion and separation of petrochemical compounds, carbon capture and sequestration. Here, I introduce our recent experimental thermodynamic (calorimetric) studies on the synthesis, application and decomposition of two families of porous materials, zeolites and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), including in situ synthesis of spherical zeolite A and X pellets, energetics of transition metal ion-exchanged zeolites (mordenite, ZSM-5 and SSZ-13), thermal decomposition of bimetallic MOF-74 and the applications of zeolites and MOFs in hydrocarbon separation. The results highlight the crucial role of thermodynamic factors, which govern the material stability and guest – host interactions. |
