Abstract
Transport phenomena play an essential role in catalysis. While zeolite catalysis is widely applied in industrial chemical processes, its efficiency is often limited by the transport rate in the micropores of the zeolite. Experimental and theoretical methods are useful for understanding the transport phenomena on multiscale levels. Traditional diffusion models usually use a linear driving force and an isotropic continuum medium, such that transport in a hierarchical catalyst structure and the occurrence of nonlinear deactivation cannot be well understood. Due to the presence of spatial confinement and an ordered structure, some aspects of the transport in a zeolite cannot be regarded as continuum phenomena and discrete models are being developed to explain these. Graph theory and small-world networks are powerful tools that have allowed pseudo-phase transition phenomena and other nontrivial relationships to be clearly revealed. Discrete models that include graph theory can build a bridge between microscopic quantum physics and macroscopic catalyst engineering in both the space and time scales. For a fuller understanding of transport phenomena in diverse fields, several theoretical methods need to be combined for a comprehensive multiscale analysis.

Abstract
Straightforward encapsulation of Pt clusters (∼2 nm) into the pure silica TON-type zeolite (ZSM-22) was reached in a dry gel conversion route, where the ionic liquid template was removed via the hydrocracking-calcination-reduction approach. The obtained Pt@ZSM-22 series possessed high crystallinity, large surface area, and ultrafine Pt clusters inside the zeolite crystals. They exhibited remarkable activity in the semi-hydrogenation of phenylacetylene into styrene; the lead sample with 0.2 wt % Pt loading afforded a large turnover number up to 117,787. The preferential high affinity of the pure silica ZSM-22-encapsulated Pt clusters toward the substrate phenylacetylene rather than the hydrogenated product was derived from the unique space-confinement effect of zeolite microchannels, which is responsible for such excellent performance.

Abstract
Fluid transport in nature often occurs through crowded nanopores, where a number of phenomena can affect it, because of fluid-fluid and fluid-solid interactions, as well as the presence of organic compounds filling the pores and their structural fluctuations. Employing molecular dynamics, we probe here the transport of fluid mixtures (CO2-CH4 and H2S-CH4) through silica nanopores filled with benzene. Both CO2 and H2S are strongly adsorbed within the organic-filled pore, partially displacing benzene. Unexpectedly, CO2/H2S adsorption facilitates CH4 transport. Analysis of the trajectories suggests that both CO2 and H2S act as vehicle-like carriers and might swell benzene, generating preferential transport pathways within the crowded pore. The results are useful for identifying unexpected transport mechanisms and for developing engineering approaches that could lead to storage of CO2 in caprocks.

Abstract
NMR diffusometry is used to ascertain the pore-size dependent water diffusion in MCM-41 and SBA-15 silica over broad temperature ranges. Detailed analysis of 1H and 2H NMR stimulated-echo decays reveals that fast water motion through voids between different silica particles impairs such studies in the general case. However, water diffusion inside single pores is probed in the present approach, which applies high static field gradients to enhance the spatial resolution of the experiment and uses excess water in combination with subzero temperatures to embed the silica particles in an ice matrix and, thus, to suppress interparticle water motion. It is found that the diffusion of confined water slows down by almost two orders of magnitude when the pore diameter is reduced from 5.4 nm to 2.1 nm at weak cooling. In the narrower silica pores, the temperature dependence of the self-diffusion coefficient of water is well described by an Arrhenius law with an activation energy of Ea = 0.40 eV. The Arrhenius behavior extends over a broad temperature range of at least 207-270 K, providing evidence against a fragile-to-strong crossover in response to a proposed liquid-liquid phase transition near 225 K. In the wider silica pores, partial crystallization results in a discontinuous temperature dependence. Explicitly, the diffusion coefficients drop when cooling through the pore-size dependent melting temperatures Tm of confined water. This finding can be rationalized by the fact that water can explore the whole pore volumes above Tm, but is restricted to narrow interfacial layers sandwiched between silica walls and ice crystallites below this temperature. Comparing our findings for water diffusion with previous results for water reorientation, we find significantly different temperature dependencies, indicating that the Stokes-Einstein-Debye relation is not obeyed.

Abstract
With the development of nuclear energy, the removal/recovery of radionuclides has attracted increasing attention. Here, an ultra-light, super-elastic, konjac glucomannan/graphene oxide composite aerogel (KGCA) as a high performance adsorbent for radionuclide removal/recovery was fabricated by a three-step process of freeze-casting, freeze-drying, and carbonization. The as-prepared bionic structured KGCA showed ultralow density, high specific surface area, desirable super-elasticity, and abundant oxygen-containing functional groups. Batch adsorption results demonstrated the maximum adsorption capacity of uranium (U(VI)) on KGCA is as high as 513.4 mg g-1, far exceeding other biomass carbon aerogels. Furthermore, KGCA showed good radiation stability, selective adsorption of U(VI), and high recycling performance. The KGCA also showed good adsorption properties even under simulated seawater or high salt concentration. Thus, these ultra-light and super-elastic biomass-derived composite aerogels could have a wide range of applications for nuclear wastewater treatment in the future.

Abstract
Zeolite N is a synthetic zeolite of the EDI framework family from the more than 200 known zeolite types. Previous experimental laboratory and field data show that zeolite N has a high capacity for exchange of ions. Computational modelling and simulation techniques are effective tools that help explain the atomic-scale behaviour of zeolites under different processing conditions and allow comparison with experiment. In this study, the ion exchange behaviour of synthetic zeolite N in an aqueous environment is investigated by molecular dynamics simulations. The exchange mechanism of K+ extra-framework cations with alkaline and alkaline-earth cations NH4+, Li+, Na+, Rb+, Cs+, Mg2+ and Ca2+ is explored in different crystallographic directions inside the zeolite N structure. Moreover, the effect of different framework partial charges on MD simulation results obtained from different DFT calculations are examined. The results show that the diffusion and exchange of cations in zeolite N are affected by shape and size of channels controlling the ion exchange flow as well as the nature of cation, ionic size and charge density.

Abstract
Molecular simulations with periodic boundary conditions require the definition of a certain cutoff radius, rc, beyond which pairwise dispersion interactions are neglected. For the simulation of homogeneous phases the use of tail corrections is well-established, which can remedy this truncation of the potential. These corrections are built under the assumption that beyond rc the radial distribution function, g(r), is equal to one. In this work we shed some light on the discussion of whether tail corrections should be used in the modeling of heterogeneous systems. We show that for the adsorption of gases in a diverse set of nanoporous crystalline materials (zeolites, covalent organic frameworks, and metal-organic frameworks), tail corrections are a convenient choice to make the adsorption results less sensitive to the details of the truncation.

Abstract
The Maxwell-Stefan (M-S) formulation, that is grounded in the theory of irreversible thermodynamics, is widely used for describing mixture diffusion in microporous crystalline materials such as zeolites and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Binary mixture diffusion is characterized by a set of three M-S diffusivities: Đ 1, Đ 2, and Đ 12. The M-S diffusivities Đ 1 and Đ 2 characterize interactions of guest molecules with pore walls. The exchange coefficient Đ 12 quantifies correlation effects that result in slowing-down of the more mobile species due to correlated molecular jumps with tardier partners. The primary objective of this article is to develop a methodology for estimating Đ 1, Đ 2, and Đ 12 using input data for the constituent unary systems. The dependence of the unary diffusivities Đ 1 and Đ 2 on the pore occupancy, θ, is quantified using the quasi-chemical theory that accounts for repulsive, or attractive, forces experienced by a guest molecule with the nearest neighbors. For binary mixtures, the same occupancy dependence of Đ 1 and Đ 2 is assumed to hold; in this case, the occupancy, θ, is calculated using the ideal adsorbed solution theory. The exchange coefficient Đ 12 is estimated from the data on unary self-diffusivities. The developed estimation methodology is validated using a large data set of M-S diffusivities determined from molecular dynamics simulations for a wide variety of binary mixtures (H2/CO2, Ne/CO2, CH4/CO2, CO2/N2, H2/CH4, H2/Ar, CH4/Ar, Ne/Ar, CH4/C2H6, CH4/C3H8, and C2H6/C3H8) in zeolites (MFI, BEA, ISV, FAU, NaY, NaX, LTA, CHA, and DDR) and MOFs (IRMOF-1, CuBTC, and MgMOF-74).

Abstract
One of the greatest challenges of modern separation technology is separating isotope mixtures in high purity. The separation of hydrogen isotopes can create immense economic value by producing valuable deuterium (D) and tritium (T), which are irreplaceable for various industrial and scientific applications. However, current separation methods suffer from low separation efficiency owing to the similar chemical properties of isotopes; thus, high-purity isotopes are not easily achieved. Recently, nanoporous materials have been proposed as promising candidates and are supported by a newly proposed separation mechanism, i.e., quantum effects. Herein, the fundamentals of the quantum sieving effect of hydrogen isotopes in nanoporous materials are discussed, which are mainly kinetic quantum sieving and chemical-affinity quantum sieving, including the recent advances in the analytical techniques. As examples of nanoporous materials, carbons, zeolites, metal-organic frameworks, and covalent organic frameworks are addressed from computational and experimental standpoints. Understanding the quantum sieving effect in nanospaces and the tailoring of porous materials based on it will open up new opportunities to develop a highly efficient and advanced isotope separation systems.

Abstract
The 100th anniversary of Langmuir's theory of adsorption is a significant landmark for the physical chemistry and chemical engineering communities. Despite its simplicity, the Langmuir adsorption model captures the key physics of molecular interactions at interfaces and laid the foundation for further progress in understanding interfacial phenomena, developing new adsorbent materials, and designing engineering processes. The Langmuir model has had an exceptional impact on diverse fields within the chemical sciences (ranging from chemical biology to materials science), an impact that became clearer with the development of modified adsorption theories and continues to be relevant today.

Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO) membranes offer exceptional promise for certain aqueous separation challenges, such as desalination. Central to unlocking this promise and optimizing performance for a given separation is the establishment of a detailed molecular-level understanding of how the membrane's composition affects its structural and transport properties. This understanding is currently lacking, in part due to the fact that, until recently, molecular models with a realistic distribution of oxygen functionalities and interlayer flake structure were unavailable. To understand the effect of composition on the properties of GO membranes, models with water contents and oxygen contents, varying between 0% and 40% by weight, were prepared in this work using classical molecular dynamics simulations. The change in membrane interlayer distance distribution, water connectivity, and water diffusivity with water and oxygen content was quantified. Interlayer distance distribution analysis showed that the swelling of GO membranes could be controlled by separately tuning both the flake oxygen content and the membrane water content. Water-molecule cluster analysis showed that a continuous and fully connected network of water nanopores is not formed until the water content reaches ∼20%. The diffusivity of water in the membrane was also found to strongly depend on both the water and the oxygen content. These insights help understand the structure and transport properties of GO membranes with sub-nanometer interlayer distances and could be exploited to enhance the performance of GO membranes for aqueous separation applications. More broadly, the high-throughput in silico approach adopted could be applied to other nanomaterials with intrinsic non-stoichiometry and structural heterogeneity.

Abstract
We employed deep neural networks (NNs) as an efficient and intelligent surrogate of molecular simulations for complex sorption equilibria using probabilistic modeling. Canonical (N 1 N 2 VT) Gibbs ensemble Monte Carlo simulations were performed to model a single-stage equilibrium desorptive drying process for (1,4-butanediol or 1,5-pentanediol)/water and 1,5-pentanediol/ethanol from all-silica MFI zeolite and 1,5-pentanediol/water from all-silica LTA zeolite. A multi-task deep NN was trained on the simulation data to predict equilibrium loadings as a function of thermodynamic state variables. The NN accurately reproduces simulation results and is able to obtain a continuous isotherm function. Its predictions can be therefore utilized to facilitate optimization of desorption conditions, which requires a laborious iterative search if undertaken by simulation alone. Furthermore, it learns information about the binary sorption equilibria as hidden layer representations. This allows for application of transfer learning with limited data by fine-tuning a pretrained NN for a different alkanediol/solvent/zeolite system.

Abstract
We report on molecular simulations of model fluids composed of three tangentially bonded Lennard-Jones interaction sites with three distinct morphologies: a flexible “pearl-necklace” chain, a rigid “stiff” linear configuration, and an equilateral rigid triangular ring. The adsorption of these three models in cylindrical pores of diameters 1, 2, and 3 nm and with varying solid–fluid strength was determined by direct molecular dynamics simulations, where a sample pore was placed in contact with a bulk fluid. Adsorption isotherms of Type I, V, and H1 were obtained depending on the choice of pore size and solid–fluid strength. Additionally, the bulk-phase equilibria, the nematic order parameter of the adsorbed phase, and the self-diffusion coefficient in the direction of the pore axis were examined. It was found that both the molecular shape and the surface attractions play a decisive role in the shape of the adsorption isotherm. In general, the ring molecules showed a larger adsorption, while the fully flexible model showed the smallest adsorption. Morphology and surface strength were found to have a lesser effect on the diffusion of the molecules. An exceptional high adsorption and diffusion, suggesting an enhanced permeability, was observed for the linear stiff molecules in ultraconfinement, which was ascribed to a phase transition of the adsorbed fluid into a nematic liquid crystal.

Abstract
![]()
Based on theoretical calculations
of CO, NH3, and pyridine
adsorption at different sites in MOR and MFI zeolites, we analyze
how confinement effects influence the measurement of acidity based
on the interaction of probe molecules with Brönsted acid sites.
Weak bases, such as CO, form neutral ZH–CO adducts with a linear
configuration that can be distorted by spatial restrictions associated
with the dimensions of the pore, leading to weaker interaction, but
can also be stabilized by dispersion forces if a tighter fitting with
the channel void is allowed. Strong bases such as NH3 and
pyridine are readily protonated on Brönsted acid sites, and
the experimentally determined adsorption enthalpies include not only
the thermochemistry associated with the proton transfer process itself,
but also the stabilization of the Z––BH+ ion pair formed upon protonation by multiple interactions
with the surrounding framework oxygen atoms, leading in some cases
to a heterogeneity of acidities within the same zeolite structure.

Abstract
We computationally study the effects of binding kinetics to the channel wall, leading to transient immobility, on the diffusive transport of particles within narrow channels, that exhibit single-file diffusion (SFD). We find that slow binding kinetics leads to an anomalously slow diffusive transport. Remarkably, the scaled diffusivity D[over ̂] characterizing transport exhibits scaling collapse with respect to the occupation fraction p of sites along the channel. We present a simple "cage-physics" picture that captures the characteristic occupation fraction p_{scale} and the asymptotic 1/p^{2} behavior for p/p_{scale}≳1. We confirm that subdiffusive behavior of tracer particles is controlled by the same D[over ̂] as particle transport.

Abstract
The flying ice cube effect is a molecular dynamics simulation artifact in which the use of velocity rescaling thermostats sometimes causes violation of the equipartition theorem, affecting both structural and dynamic properties. The reason for this artifact and the conditions under which it occurs have not been fully understood. Since the flying ice cube effect was first demonstrated, a new velocity rescaling algorithm (the CSVR thermostat) has been developed and become popular without its effects on the equipartition theorem being truly known. Meanwhile, the use of simple velocity rescaling and Berendsen (weak coupling) thermostat algorithms has not abated but has actually continued to grow. Here, we have calculated the partitioning of the kinetic energy between translational, rotational, and vibrational modes in simulations of diatomic molecules to explicitly determine whether the equipartition theorem is violated under different thermostats and while rescaling velocities to different kinetic energy distributions. We have found that the underlying cause of the flying ice cube effect is a violation of balance leading to systematic redistributions of kinetic energy under simple velocity rescaling and the Berendsen thermostat. When velocities are instead rescaled to the canonical ensemble's kinetic energy distribution, as is done with the CSVR thermostat, the equipartition theorem is not violated, and we show that the CSVR thermostat satisfies detailed balance. The critical necessity for molecular dynamics practitioners to abandon the use of popular yet incorrect velocity rescaling algorithms is underscored with an example demonstrating that the main result of a highly cited study is entirely due to artifacts resulting from the study's use of the Berendsen thermostat.

Abstract
Empty spaces are abhorred by nature, which immediately rushes in to fill the void. Humans have learnt pretty well how to make ordered empty nanocontainers, and to get useful products out of them. When such an order is imparted to molecules, new properties may appear, often yielding advanced applications. This review illustrates how the organized void space inherently present in various materials: zeolites, clathrates, mesoporous silica/organosilica, and metal organic frameworks (MOF), for example, can be exploited to create confined, organized, and self-assembled supramolecular structures of low dimensionality. Features of the confining matrices relevant to organization are presented with special focus on molecular-level aspects. Selected examples of confined supramolecular assemblies - from small molecules to quantum dots or luminescent species - are aimed to show the complexity and potential of this approach. Natural confinement (minerals) and hyperconfinement (high pressure) provide further opportunities to understand and master the atomistic-level interactions governing supramolecular organization under nanospace restrictions.

Abstract
Nitrification of high total ammonia nitrogen-strength wastewaters is challenging due to free ammonia (FA) inhibition of nitrification. FA inhibition can potentially be alleviated by temporarily adsorbing ammonium (NH4+) to natural zeolite, such as chabazite, followed by direct zeolite bioregeneration via nitrification. In this research, the effectiveness of chabazite addition for reducing nitrification inhibition during treatment of centrate from anaerobic digestion of swine waste was quantified. A mathematical model was developed that accounts for ion exchange of NH4+ and sodium at the chabazite surface, surface diffusion of adsorbed NH4+ within the chabazite grains, sequential nitrification of aqueous NH4+ to nitrite and nitrate, and inhibition of nitritation and nitratation rates by NH4+. The model was calibrated using results of abiotic ion exchange and nitrification studies. Subsequently, nitrification tests were carried out with synthetic wastewater with a NH4+-N concentration of 1000 mg L-1, with and without chabazite. A chabazite dose of 150 g L-1 decreased the FA concentration to below the inhibitory level and increased the nitrification rate from 0.16 to 0.36 mg-N (g-VSS)-1 h-1. Following calibration, the model could predict the experimental data with no additional fitting parameters or parameter adjustment, in both the presence and absence of chabazite. The results suggest that the mathematical model provides a theoretically sound conceptual understanding of ion exchange assisted nitrification.

Abstract
Ionic-functionalized microporous materials are attractive for energy-efficient gas adsorption and separation processes and have shown promising results in gas mixtures at pressure ranges and compositions that are relevant for industrial applications. In this work, we studied the influence of different counterions (Li+, Na+, K+, Rb+, and Mg2+) on the porosity, carbon dioxide (CO2) gas adsorption, and selectivity in ionic-functionalized PIM-1 (IonomIMs), a polymer belonging to the class of linear and amorphous microporous polymers known as polymers of intrinsic microporosity (PIMs). It was found that an increase in the concentration of ionic groups led to a decrease in the free volume, resulting in a less porous polymer framework, and Mg2+-functionalized IonomIMs exhibited a relatively larger porosity compared to other IonomIMs. The CO2 adsorption capacity was affected by the different counterions for IonomIM-1, and a higher loading capacity for pure CO2 was observed for Mg2+. Furthermore, the IonomIMs showed an enhanced CO2 selectivity in CO2/CH4 and CO2/N2 gas mixtures at conditions used in pressure swing adsorption and vacuum swing adsorption applications. It was also observed that the concentration of ionic groups plays a vital role in changing the CO2 gas adsorption and selectivity.

Abstract
The term "engineered zeolitic materials" refers to a class of materials with a rationally designed pore system and active-sites distribution. They are primarily made of crystalline microporous zeolites as the main building blocks, which can be accompanied by other secondary components to form composite materials. These materials are of potential importance in many industrial fields like catalysis or selective adsorption. Herein, critical aspects related to the synthesis and modification of such materials are discussed. The first section provides a short introduction on classical zeolite structures and properties, and their conventional synthesis methods. Then, the motivating rationale behind the growing demand for structural alteration of these zeolitic materials is discussed, with an emphasis on the ongoing struggles regarding mass-transfer issues. The state-of-the-art techniques that are currently available for overcoming these hurdles are reviewed. Following this, the focus is set on core-shell composites as one of the promising pathways toward the creation of a new generation of highly versatile and efficient engineered zeolitic substances. The synthesis approaches developed thus far to make zeolitic core-shell materials and their analogues, yolk-shell, and hollow materials, are also examined and summarized. Finally, the last section concisely reviews the performance of novel core-shell, yolk-shell, and hollow zeolitic materials for some important industrial applications.

Abstract
The effect of confinement on the equilibrium reactive system containing nitrogen dioxide and dinitrogen tetroxide is studied by molecular simulation and the reactive Monte Carlo (RxMC) approach. The bulk-phase reaction was successfully reproduced and five all-silica zeolites (i.e. FAU, FER, MFI, MOR, and TON) with different topologies were selected to study their adoption behavior. Dinitrogen tetroxide showed a stronger affinity than nitrogen dioxide in all the zeolites due to size effects, but exclusive adsorption sites in MOR allowed the adsorption of nitrogen dioxide with no competition at these sites. From the study of the adsorption isotherms and isobars of the reacting mixture, confinement enhanced the formation of dimers over the full range of pressure and temperature, finding the largest deviations from bulk fractions at low temperature and high pressure. The channel size and shape of the zeolite have a noticeable influence on the dinitrogen tetroxide formation, being more important in MFI, closely followed by TON and MOR, and finally FER and FAU. Preferential adsorption sites in MOR lead to an unusually strong selective adsorption towards nitrogen dioxide, demonstrating that the topological structure has a crucial influence on the composition of the mixture and must be carefully considered in systems containing nitrogen dioxide.

Abstract
Recent progress in the synthesis and characterization of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has opened the door to an increasing number of possible catalytic applications. The great versatility of MOFs creates a large chemical space, whose thorough experimental examination becomes practically impossible. Therefore, computational modeling is a key tool to support, rationalize, and guide experimental efforts. In this outlook we survey the main methodologies employed to model MOFs for catalysis, and we review selected recent studies on the functionalization of their nodes. We pay special attention to catalytic applications involving natural gas conversion.
