What are the Future Directions in Porous Materials for Catalysis?
1. Hybrid Materials: Combining different types of porous materials, such as MOFs with mesoporous silica, can create hybrid materials with enhanced catalytic properties.
2. Nanoengineering: Advances in nanoengineering can lead to the development of porous materials with precisely controlled pore sizes and shapes, optimizing them for specific catalytic reactions.
3. Sustainable Catalysis: Research is ongoing to develop porous materials that are more sustainable and environmentally friendly, such as those derived from natural or renewable sources.
