2025 AIChE Annual Meeting

Session: Microporous and Mesoporous Materials I: Catalytic Activity

The talks in this session focus on the use of experimental and computational approaches to relate the synthesis of porous materials (zeolites, zeotypes, mesostructured materials, metal-organic frameworks) with resultant physicochemical properties and catalytic performance.
