       报告摘要：Zeolitic materials are the heterogeneous catalysts with the highest annual production. They are used in numerous acid-catalyzed reactions. Nowadays, hydrocarbon transformations such as cracking, alkylation, and isomerization are mostly conducted over these eco-friendly microporous solid acids. In the general shift from homogeneous towards heterogeneous catalysis, zeolites play a key role. The rational design of these inorganic materials with highly crystalline structure is warranted both in academic and in industrial research. A proper chemical composition, a hierarchical porosity, an appropriate crystal size have therefore to be combined with a proper shape at the reactor level.

The aim of our research is to achieve a combination of molecular and microscopic design of zeolites to develop efficient acid catalysts. Crystal sizes influence the catalytic properties of zeolites: while large crystals favour shape-selective catalysis, in contrast, nanocrystals enhance catalyst’s effectiveness.

Our philosophy neither relies on the study of one sole reaction, nor on one catalytic system. We aim in performing a proper catalyst design, on purpose, for acid-catalyzed reactions. A peculiar attention will be given to the conversion of methanol into light olefins(MTO), Friedel-Crafts acylations and electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions.
