Advanced zeolite catalysts are next-generation materials that have been engineered to enhance their catalytic performance. These enhancements include:
1. Hierarchical Zeolites: These have dual-porosity structures combining micropores and mesopores, which improve mass transfer and reduce diffusion limitations. 2. Zeolite Composites: These are hybrid materials combining zeolites with other functional materials like metals or metal oxides to create multifunctional catalysts. 3. Nano-Zeolites: These have smaller crystal sizes, which increase the number of accessible active sites and improve catalytic efficiency.
