Porous Materials for the heterogeneously catalyzed synthesis of high Value‐Added products: latest trends and future prospects

Heterogeneous catalysis currently stands as a foundational area in materials synthesis and applied chemistry. In this context, emphasizing the significance of heterogeneous catalysis in expediting chemical reactions and controlling the formation of desired products using porous materials represents an intriguing approach in the current technological landscape. This work delves into the synthesis and design of a variety of porous materials, encompassing microporous, mesoporous and macroporous materials (e.g. carbonaceous materials, metal oxides, MOFs, zeolites and functionalized analogues), alongside their properties and characteristics pivotal in heterogeneous catalysis. among others, and their subsequent modification, underscoring the significance of tailoring porous materials for specific catalytic applications.
