Propene is a key building block for the petrochemical industry whose demand is increasing
strongly in recent years, even faster than that of ethene. The availability of propene is limited …

Hydrophobic voids within titanium silicates have long been considered necessary to achieve
high rates and selectivities for alkene epoxidations with H2O2. The catalytic consequences …

Shale gas is the main source and reservoir of natural gas, and contains a small fraction of
ethane and propane. Along with the increasing exploitation scale, shale gas has the …

Micro/meso‐porous crystalline materials with a well‐defined pore structure, such as zeolites,
carbon nanotubes, and metal–organic frameworks, are of great significance in the …

The ability of molecular sieves to control the access and egress of certain reactants and
products and to preferentially contain certain transition states while excluding others based …

To optimally design next generation catalysts a thorough understanding of the chemical
phenomena at the molecular scale is a prerequisite. Apart from qualitative knowledge on the …
