Microporous Zeolite Catalysts.Microporous zeolites are a kind of ordered porous materials with pore sizes of 0.3-3.0 nm at present, which are widely applied in petroleumrefining and catalytic industries.Our research is mainly focused on the design and preparation of microporous zeolite catalysts according to the requirement of catalytic reactions such as nanosized zeolite spheres formed by the template of polymers, microporous zeolites with a large surface area.

Ordered Mesoporous Materials. Ordered mesoporous materials are a kind of ordered porous materials with pore size of 2.0-50 nm, which are potentially versatile catalysts and catalyst supports for catalytic conversion of large molecules.However, as compared with conventional zeolites, these mesostructured materials have relatively low acidity and hydrothermal stability, which severely hinders their practical applications in catalytic reactions for petroleum industry.Our research is devoted to prepare hydrothermally stable, strongly acidic, and catalytically active ordered mesoporous materials from preformed zeolite nanocluster precursors or high-temperature synthesis using a new kind of fluorocarbon surfactants.Enclosed are TEM images of ordered mesoporous silica designated as JLU-21 (Jilin University No. 21).

Preparation of Novel Catalysts and In-situ Characterization of Catalytic Reactions.Our research is to (1) characterize the structure and mechanism of catalytic materials and reactions by in-situ UV-Raman and Infrared spectroscopy as well as X-ray diffraction technique, (2) study the oxidations over novel catalysts with hydrogen peroxide and molecular oxygen as oxidants, (3) prepare novel chiral catalysts by combination of organometallic active sites with inorganic supports.

Novel Photocatalysts.Our research is to prepare highly active photocatalysts for reduction of organic pollutant in the water.

Novel Bio-nanoreactors for Catalysis.Our research is to obtain catalytically active and stable bio-nanoreactors using enzymes entrapped into ordered mesoporous silica materials.
