Abstract
Metal single-site catalysts have recently played an essential role in catalysis due to their enhanced activity, selectivity, and precise reaction control compared to those of conventional metal cluster catalysts. However, the rational design and catalytic application of metal single-site catalysts are still in the early stages of development. In this contribution, we report the rational design of Fe single sites incorporated in a hierarchical ZSM-5 via atomic layer deposition (ALD). The designer catalysts demonstrated highly dispersed Fe species, predominantly stabilized by oxygen atoms in the zeolite framework at terminal, isolated, and vicinal silanol groups within the micropores and external surfaces of the zeolite. The successful incorporation of highly thermally stable and uniform Fe single sites into hierarchical zeolite through ALD represents a significant advancement in few-walled carbon nanotube production. The inner and outer diameters of produced CNTs are approximately 4.4 ± 2.4 and 8.6 ± 1.8 nm, respectively, notably smaller than those produced via traditional impregnated catalysts. This example emphasizes the concept of rational design of a single Fe site dispersed on a hierarchical ZSM-5 surface, which is anticipated to be a promising catalyst for advancing catalytic applications.

Abstract
Solid-state NMR spectroscopy (ssNMR) can provide details about the structure, host-guest/guest-guest interactions and dynamic behavior of materials at atomic length scales. A crucial use of ssNMR is for the characterization of zeolite catalysts that are extensively employed in industrial catalytic processes. This review aims to spotlight the recent advancements in ssNMR spectroscopy and its application to zeolite chemistry. We first review the current ssNMR methods and techniques that are relevant to characterize zeolite catalysts, including advanced multinuclear and multidimensional experiments, in situ NMR techniques and hyperpolarization methods. Of these, the methodology development on half-integer quadrupolar nuclei is emphasized, which represent about two-thirds of stable NMR-active nuclei and are widely present in catalytic materials. Subsequently, we introduce the recent progress in understanding zeolite chemistry with the aid of these ssNMR methods and techniques, with a specific focus on the investigation of zeolite framework structures, zeolite crystallization mechanisms, surface active/acidic sites, host-guest/guest-guest interactions, and catalytic reaction mechanisms.

Abstract
Zeolites with ordered microporous systems, distinct framework topologies, good spatial nanoconfinement effects, and superior (hydro)thermal stability are an ideal scaffold for planting diverse active metal species, including single sites, clusters, and nanoparticles in the framework and framework-associated sites and extra-framework positions, thus affording the metal-in-zeolite catalysts outstanding activity, unique shape selectivity, and enhanced stability and recyclability in the processes of Brønsted acid-, Lewis acid-, and extra-framework metal-catalyzed reactions. Especially, thanks to the advances in zeolite synthesis and characterization techniques in recent years, zeolite-confined extra-framework metal catalysts (denoted as metal@zeolite composites) have experienced rapid development in heterogeneous catalysis, owing to the combination of the merits of both active metal sites and zeolite intrinsic properties. In this review, we will present the recent developments of synthesis strategies for incorporating and tailoring of active metal sites in zeolites and advanced characterization techniques for identification of the location, distribution, and coordination environment of metal species in zeolites. Furthermore, the catalytic applications of metal-in-zeolite catalysts are demonstrated, with an emphasis on the metal@zeolite composites in hydrogenation, dehydrogenation, and oxidation reactions. Finally, we point out the current challenges and future perspectives on precise synthesis, atomic level identification, and practical application of the metal-in-zeolite catalyst system.
