Lewis acid zeolites – (green) catalysts for tomorrow

Jan Přech, Ewelina Szaniawská and Jiří Čejka (group of Synthesis, Catalysis and Advanced Materials from the Dept. of Physical and Macromolecular Chemistry) with Steven L. Suib (University of Connecticut, USA) …

PhD fellow in "Multifunctional zeolite materials for processing of platform chemicals and their derivatives"

Project summary: Due to molecular sieving effect, high adsorption capacity and adjustable chemical composition zeolites are efficient catalysts for a number of processes. However, there is still a lack of …

PhD fellow in "Selectivity driving parameters in redox reactions catalyzed by Lewis acid zeolites"

Project summary: Zeolites are robust and environmentally friendly heterogeneous catalysts. They contain framework metal ions, which act as Bronsted or Lewis acid sites. In particular, the Lewis acid sites (generated, …

PhD fellow in "Stabilization of metal clusters on the zeolite supports and their assessment by in-situ electron microscopy methods"

Project summary: Metal nanoparticles immobilized at zeolite supports are important class of heterogenous catalysts for hydrogenation and dehydrogenation, reforming, and water-gas shift reactions. Zeolites, porous elementosilicates, are used to encapsulate …
