The presence of small amount of fluoride in alkaline hydrothermal synthesis of SSZ-13 zeolite yields bimodal microporous particles with substantially improved performance in the methanol-to-olefins (MTO) reaction. Hydrocarbon uptake measurements and fluorescence microspectroscopy of spent catalysts demonstrate enhanced diffusion through micropores at the grain boundaries of nanocrystals running through the zeolite particles. Fluoride-assisted SSZ-13 synthesis is a cheap and scalable approach to optimize the performance of MTO zeolite catalysts.

Due to the limited effectiveness of electrodialysis (ED) in removing organic micro-contaminants, various carbon-based adsorption materials can be utilized to enhance the overall removal performance. Integrating adsorption materials into the ED process may improve removal efficiency and material utilization under the influence of electric field. In this study, uniformly sized activated carbon microspheres (ACMs) with bimodal pore structures were packed into the dilute compartment of an ED system to remove antibiotics while desalting brackish water.

Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) are critical for heavy-duty transportation due to their high efficiency and environmental benefits. However, achieving optimal water management and gas transport in the microporous layer (MPL) remains a challenge to improving its performance. In this paper, a high-flux MPL is presented, which was prepared using pure carbon nanotubes (CNT) by adding a nonionic surfactant to improve the dispersion of hydrophobic CNT.

Hierarchical mesoporous ZIF-8 (HZIF-8) was synthesized using a thermosensitive hydrogel as a soft template. Zinc ions (Zn) were uniformly dispersed on the hydrogel surface through metal-ion coordination with salicylic acid and melamine, followed by coordination with 2-methylimidazole at room temperature. After the thermal removal of salicylic acid and melamine, HZIF-8 was obtained which exhibited a bimodal pore structure comprising both micropores and mesopores.

Coalbed methane (CBM) reservoir modification based on chemical solvent treatment could change the coal microstructure, which further affects the adsorption capacity and flow characteristics of this clean energy. Coal samples were extracted by tetrahydrofuran (THF), carbon disulfide (CS), and hydrochloric acid (HCl). Low-pressure nitrogen adsorption, carbon dioxide adsorption, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and methane isothermal adsorption test were adopted.

A new member of the zeolite-templated carbon (ZTC) family with unprecedented properties has been developed using extralarge-pore zeolite ZEO-1 (JZO) as a template. The resulting ZTC-JZO exhibits strong X-ray diffraction long-range order, replicating three distinct zeolite planes with different lattice spacings. By harnessing the enhanced micropore void volume in the ZEO-1 template, we achieved the first ZTC with a bimodal micropore size distribution, resulting in superior skeleton density and thickness.
