Adsorption & Catalysis in Microporous Materials<br />

• Properties <strong>of</strong> zeolites determined by<br />

– Pore size<br />

– Acidity<br />

– Extra framework cation<br />

– Framework composition<br />

• Simulation reveals<br />

– Locations <strong>of</strong> adsorption sites<br />

– Interaction energies<br />

– Diffusivity <strong>of</strong> molecules in the pores<br />

• Simulation provides a way <strong>to</strong> correlate<br />

these microscopic properties with<br />

observed activity<br />

Adsorption <strong>of</strong> an organic molecule in zeolite MFI.<br />

Preferred adsorption sides are colored blue
