The first comprehensive textbook on the timely and rapidly developing
topic of inorganic porous materials
This is the first textbook to completely cover a broad range of
inorganic porous materials. It introduces the reader to the development
of functional porous inorganic materials, from the synthetic zeolites in
the 50's, to today's hybrid materials such as metal-organic frameworks
(MOFs), covalent organic frameworks (COFs) and related networks. It also
provides the necessary background to understand how porous materials are
organized, characterized, and applied in adsorption, catalysis, and many
other domains. Additionally, the book explains characterization and
application from the materials scientist viewpoint, giving the reader a
practical approach on the characterization and application of the
respective materials.
Introduction to Inorganic Porous Materials begins by describing the
basic concepts of porosity and the different types of pores, surfaces,
and amorphous versus crystalline materials, before introducing readers
to nature's porous materials. It then goes on to cover everything from
adsorption and catalysis to amorphous materials such as silica to
inorganic carbons and Periodic Mesoporous Organosilicas (PMOs). It
discusses the synthesis and applications of MOFs and the broad family of
COFs. It concludes with a look at future prospects and emerging trends
in the field.
- The only complete book of its kind to cover the wide variety of
inorganic and hybrid porous materials
- A comprehensive reference and outstanding tool for any course on
inorganic porous materials, heterogeneous catalysis, and adsorption
- Gives students and investigators the opportunity to learn about porous
materials, how to characterize them, and understand how they can be
applied in different fields
Introduction to Inorganic Porous Materials is an excellent book for
students and professionals of inorganic chemistry and materials science
with an interest in porous materials, functional inorganic materials,
heterogeneous catalysis and adsorption, and solid state characterization
techniques.
