Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The physicochemical properties of zeolites are mainly determined by framework structure, chemical composition, and position of tetrahedral atoms. In this research, more than 40,000 zeolite structures with different topologies, Si/Al ratios Al locations were constructed and evaluated. The results revealed that for a particular framework structure there exist the energetically favorable chemical compositions and atomic positions, which is consistent with the experimental results.
In zeolite syntheses, organic structure-directing agents (OSDAs) have been used. In this work, the design of such OSDAs was focused. As a first step toward designed synthesis of inorganic porous materials by the aids of computations, nanoporous silicas with high surface area and unique pore diameters of 1.3-2 nm were synthesized. The resulting materials possessed the pore diameters identical to the designed values and their surface areas were among the highest values reported for nanoporous silicas.
