This book is a testament to the growing world of ordered porous materials in general, and of Zeolites and Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) in particular. Today, both zeolites and metal-organic frameworks offer a myriad of potential applications in both traditional and emerging fields.
Zeolites are natural and synthetic materials with a porous chemical composition of great value due to their catalytic and absorbent properties, and Metal-Organic Frameworks are organometallic polymers synthesized by humans. This book, with contributions from renowned researchers from around the world, delves into these materials and explains the various synthetic routes that exist to synthesize zeolites and MOFs. It also highlights the similarities and differences between these substances, and the varied uses that science and industry make of them, for example, to propel vehicles or produce drugs.
Luis F. Bobadilla, one of the three editors of this special issue, is a Postdoctoral Researcher incorporated into the University of Seville through the Juan de la Cierva program, who develops his work in the Surface Chemistry and Catalysis group of the Institute of Materials Science of Seville, belonging to the Isla de la Cartuja Scientific Research Center.
