Sub-nanometer and nanometer size metal clusters in zeolite matrices: assessment of sustainability
Abstract
Composite materials containing metal particles of nanometer or sub-nanometer size are of topical interest due to the advantageous structural, chemical, electronic and optical properties compared with bulk systems. However, the diversity and sustainability of such objects are still challenging issues. The solid confinement is considered as a suitable solution for maintenance of small-size phases. The idea of this project is the design of composite materials containing single metal atoms or metal clusters of nanometer diameter in the voids of small-pore zeolites or in the interlayer space of lamellar zeolites. Resulting materials are expected to be ready-to-use bifunctional systems having red-ox (metal) and acid-base (matrix) functions.
