Perfluorosulfonic acid (PFSA) polyelectrolyte confined in subnanoliter volume within zeolite cladded walls exhibits higher glass transition temperature and excellent tolerance to high-temperature fuel cell operation under dry conditions, generating an order of magnitude higher power density than standard PEMFC.

Pd membranes of excellent stability and flux were prepared with multi-legged anchors by electroless plating of Pd on a porous support modified by a zeolite barrier layer containing Pd seeds; these membranes provide stable phenol production by direct hydroxylation of benzene.

Microfabricated HZSM-5 micromembranes were successfully employed as a proton-exchange membrane in a micro fuel cell and the energy generation is strongly dependent on the Al-content of the HZSM-5.

Three different approaches, including (1) manipulating the site chemistry, (2) controlling the spacing between neighbouring sites and (3) altering the adsorbates by the use of chelates, were successfully used to prepare MCM-41 adsorbents with excellent selectivity for silver adsorption from solutions containing copper.

A facile method was established using composition-gradient pattern on zeolite surface to guide the deposition and formation of chemical and biomolecular patterns with features as small as five microns.

A multi-channel membrane microreactor was fabricated and tested for Knoevenagel condensation of benzaldehyde and ethyl cyanoacetate using Cs-exchanged faujasite NaX as the catalyst; the membrane microreactor achieves supra-eqiulibrium conversion at higher product purity.

Using a new fabrication strategy, novel, self-enclosed microporous silicalite-1 zeolite microtunnel and microchunnel architectures were successfully prepared.

A zeolite-based microengineered reactor was fabricated and tested for 1-pentene epoxidation over titanium silicalite-1 (TS-1) catalyst, which has been selectively incorporated within the microreactor channel using a new synthesis procedure.
