Several materials are known for their microporous structures:
- Zeolites: Crystalline aluminosilicates with uniform micropores that are widely used in petrochemical catalysis. - Activated Carbons: Carbonaceous materials with a high degree of microporosity, useful in adsorption and catalysis. - Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs): Hybrid materials consisting of metal ions and organic linkers, known for their tunable pore sizes and high surface areas.
