All solid materials are created via nucleation. In this evolutionary process, nuclei form in
solution or at interfaces, expand by monomeric growth and oriented attachment, and …

Zeolite catalysts and adsorbents have been an integral part of many commercial processes
and are projected to play a significant role in emerging technologies to address the …

A core objective of synthesizing zeolites for widespread applications is to produce materials
with properties and corresponding performances that exceed conventional counterparts …

Zeolite nonclassical growth via particle attachment has been proposed for two decades, yet
the attachment mechanism and kinetic regulation remain elusive. Here, nonclassical growth …

Deep understanding of the formation mechanism is crucial to the rational design and
controllable synthesis of zeolites with desired pore architecture and acidity. Herein, we take …

Conventional methods to prepare hierarchical zeolites depend upon the use of organic
structure‐directing agents and often require multiple synthesis steps with limited product …

During the growth of organic crystals, crystal defects can be formed. Microscopic defects,
which include point, line, and planar defects, appearing as vacancies, growth dislocations …

The crystallization process directly affects the physicochemical properties and active centers
of zeolites; however, controllable tuning of the zeolite crystallization process remains a …

Defects that commonly exist on the surface of zeolites pose notable mass transport
constraints and influence the catalytic performance. The mechanism underlying the surface …

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have been recently explored as crystalline solids for
conversion into amorphous phases demonstrating non-specific mechanical, catalytic, and …
