Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>The Zeolite Peacemakers</bold> The cover picture shows that a new family of materials, namely mesostructured zeolites, can bridge the gap between conventional (microporous) zeolites and surfactant‐templated (mesoporous) solids. In their Full Paper on <ext-link ext-link-type="doi" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">p. 3110 ff., </ext-link> J. Garcia‐Martinez, X. Zou, M. Thommes and co‐workers describe how size‐tailored mesoporosity could be introduced into commercial zeolite Y crystals by a simple surfactant‐templating post‐synthetic mesostructuring process. The resulting mesoporous zeolite Y showed significantly improved product selectivity in both laboratory testing and refinery trials. A collaboration of three teams was able to characterize these materials with advanced techniques.<boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgh2chmnnbz" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
