Silicalite-1 zeolitic membranes have been successfully fabricated on the porous-AlOsupport by templated and template-free protocol, respectively, for vapor permeation separation of dichlorobenzene (DCB) isomers. After proving the high quality of the membranes by single gas permeation (He and SF) performance, the vapor-permeation of DCB isomers over two types of the silicalite-1 membrane was then investigated. The separation results clearly indicated that under the lower partial pressure and higher temperature, the effect of DCB isomer adsorption on the permeance could be kept at a sufficiently low level and sharp selectivity become more important. Thus, highDCB selectivity could be achieved. Comparatively, the template-free silicalite-1 zeolite has a much higher p-DCB selectivity due to the relatively fewer inter-crystalline gaps. Under certain separation conditions, the highest selectivity of-DCB for/DCB and/DCB binary systems could reach 165 and 113, respectively.

Chemical conversion of CO2 is providing an opportunity to mitigate the global warming induced by the overconsumption of fossil fuel. Cu has been regarded as one of the most powerful contenders in catalyzing CO2 conversion, yet the precise manipulation of its surface state and the nearby chemical environment continues to pose a formidable challenge. In this work, we report a high-efficiency catalyst by utilizing CeO2 and pure silicon zeolite (S1) to co-activate Cu species.

The crystal structure of a highly loaded complex of silicalite-1 (SL-1) with eight mol-ecules of -xylene per unit cell has been solved by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In the crystal, four symmetrical SiO·2CH subunits per unit cell are observed. The -xylene mol-ecules sit at two different positions within the SL-1 channels.

The construction, use, and maintenance of tritium-related equipment will inevitably produce tritium-containing radioactive waste gas, and the production of efficient catalysts for tritium removal remains a difficult problem. Herein, silicalite-1 zeolite with entrapped Pt nanoclusters is skillfully post-oxidized at an appropriate temperature, building highly active Pt─O sites on the nanoclusters to achieve efficient oxidation of hydrogen isotopes at low temperatures. The designed Pt─O sites can directly participate in the oxidation reaction of hydrogen isotopes.

The performance of blue devices utilizing perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) has lagged remarkably behind that of green light-emitting diodes because of low luminescence quantum yields and poor spectral stability. Here, benefiting from the rapid and short diffusion paths within the nanosized silicalite-1 (N-Si-1) zeolite (∼40 nm) channels, CsPbBr PQDs encapsulated within N-Si-1 show a high dispersion with an ultrasmall particle size of ∼2.38 nm and a blue emission of 474 nm with a high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of 44.

Thermodynamics of Polyethylene Glycol Intrusion in Microporous Water.

Nano Lett

December 2024

Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138, United States of America.

Polymers can be used to augment the properties of microporous materials, affording enhanced processability, stability, and compatibility. Manipulating polymers to target specific properties, however, requires detailed knowledge of how different polymers and microporous materials interact. Here, we report a study of the thermodynamics of polyethylene glycol (PEG) intrusion into a representative hydrophobic zeolite (silicalite-1) and metal-organic framework [ZIF-67; Co(2-methylimidazolate)] in water, both of which can be formed into colloidally stable aqueous dispersions─termed "microporous water"─with dry, guest-accessible pore networks.
