In the realm of catalysis, "meso" refers to mesoporous materials, which are defined by their pore diameters that range between 2 and 50 nanometers. These materials are crucial in various catalytic applications due to their unique properties, such as high surface area, tunable pore sizes, and robust structural stability. Mesoporous materials like MCM-41, SBA-15, and KIT-6 have garnered significant attention for their potential in enhancing catalytic reactions.
