Advances in Nanoporous Materials

The term Nanoporous Materials is understood to comprise all kind of porous solids which possess pores in the range from ca. 0.2 nm up to ca. 50 nm, irrespective of their chemical composition, their origin (natural or synthetic) and their amorphous or crystalline nature. Typical examples are zeolites and zeolite-like materials (e.g., crystalline microporous aluminophosphates and their derivatives), mesoporous oxides like silica, silica-alumina etc., metal organic frameworks, pillared clays, porous carbons and related materials.

The contributions review the literature in a certain area thoroughly and critically and offer a state-of-the-art overview to the reader.
