Natl Sci Rev 2024; 11:nwae085. [PMID: 38577670 PMCID: PMC10989657 DOI: 10.1093/nsr/nwae085] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2023] [Revised: 02/14/2024] [Accepted: 03/05/2024] [Indexed: 04/06/2024] Open
Abstract
Catalytic oxidative desulfurization (ODS) using titanium silicate catalysts has emerged as an efficient technique for the complete removal of organosulfur compounds from automotive fuels. However, the precise control of highly accessible and stable-framework Ti active sites remains highly challenging. Here we reveal for the first time by using density functional theory calculations that framework hexa-coordinated Ti (TiO6) species of mesoporous titanium silicates are the most active sites for ODS and lead to a lower-energy pathway of ODS. A novel method to achieve highly accessible and homogeneously distributed framework TiO6 active single sites at the mesoporous surface has been developed. Such surface framework TiO6 species exhibit an exceptional ODS performance. A removal of 920 ppm of benzothiophene is achieved at 60°C in 60 min, which is 1.67 times that of the best catalyst reported so far. For bulky molecules such as 4,6-dimethyldibenzothiophene (DMDBT), it takes only 3 min to remove 500 ppm of DMDBT at 60°C with our catalyst, which is five times faster than that with the current best catalyst. Such a catalyst can be easily upscaled and could be used for concrete industrial application in the ODS of bulky organosulfur compounds with minimized energy consumption and high reaction efficiency.

Abstract
The local reaction environment of catalytic active sites can be manipulated to modify the kinetics and thermodynamic properties of heterogeneous catalysis. Because of the unique physical-chemical nature of water, heterogeneously catalyzed reactions involving specific interactions between water molecules and active sites on catalysts exhibit distinct outcomes that are different from those performed in the absence of water. Zeolitic materials are being applied with the presence of water for heterogeneous catalytic reactions in the chemical industry and our transition to sustainable energy. Mechanistic investigation and in-depth understanding about the behaviors and the roles of water are essentially required for zeolite chemistry and catalysis. In this review, we focus on the discussions of the nature and structures of water adsorbed/stabilized on Brønsted and Lewis acidic zeolites based on experimental observations as well as theoretical calculation results. The unveiled functions of water structures in determining the catalytic efficacy of zeolite-catalyzed reactions have been overviewed and the strategies frequently developed for enhancing the stabilization of zeolite catalysts are highlighted. Recent advancement will contribute to the development of innovative catalytic reactions and the rationalization of catalytic performances in terms of activity, selectivity and stability with the presence of water vapor or in condensed aqueous phase.

Abstract
Designing composite catalysts that harness the strengths of individual components while mitigating their limitations is a fascinating yet challenging task in catalyst engineering. In this study, we aimed to enhance the catalytic performance by anchoring ZIF-67 nanoparticles of precise sizes onto lamella Si-MWW zeolite surfaces through a stepwise regrowth process. Co ions were initially grafted onto the zeolite surface using ultrasonication, followed by a seed-assisted secondary growth method. Si-MWW proved to be the ideal zeolite support due to its thin layered structure, large external surface area and substantial lateral dimensions. The abundant Si-OH groups on its surface played a crucial role in securely binding Co ions, limiting size growth and preventing undesirable ZIF-67 aggregation. The resulting ZIF-67/MWW composite with finely dispersed nano-scale ZIF-67 particles exhibited a remarkable catalytic performance and stability in the aldol condensation reactions involving acetone and various aldehydes. This approach holds promise for designing MOF/zeolite composite catalysts.

Abstract
Zeolite nonclassical growth via particle attachment has been proposed for two decades, yet the attachment mechanism and kinetic regulation remain elusive. Here, nonclassical growth of an MFI-type zeolite has been achieved by using amorphous protozeolite (PZ) nanoparticles containing encapsulated TPA+ templates and abundant silanols (Si-OH) as sole precursors under hydrothermal conditions. The silanol characteristics of the precursor were studied by two-dimensional (2D) solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) correlation spectroscopy, which were proven to play critical roles in determining precursor attachment behavior and crystal growth orientation. Under mechanical ball-milling or tablet-pressing process, pressure drove the fusion of spherical PZ into platelet-like integrated PZ (IPZ) coupled with transformations of external silanols from evenly distributed to curvature-dependent distributed and internal silanols from isolated to spatially proximate. Compared to isolated silanols, the spatially proximate silanols possessed a stronger correlation with TPA+, benefiting the formation of Si-O-Si bonds via silanol condensation. Subsequently, driven by minimization of surface energy, particle attachment of the platelet-like IPZ precursor preferentially occurred at high-curvature surfaces with high-density silanols, leading to anisotropic rates of nonclassical growth and thus the formation of high-aspect-ratio MFI-type zeolite nanosheets. Advanced electron microscopy provided direct evidence of attachment of amorphous IPZ precursors to crystalline intermediate surfaces along the c-axis direction with the formation of amorphous-crystalline interfaces, followed by interface elimination and structural evolution to a single-crystalline phase. Our findings not only unravel the zeolite nonclassical growth mechanism but also reveal the critical role of silanol chemistry in kinetic regulation, which is of great importance for pursuing a tailored zeolite synthesis.

Abstract
This study developed a safe and sustainable route for the epoxidation of cyclohexene using water as the source of oxygen at room temperature and ambient pressure. Here, we optimized the cyclohexene concentration, volume of solvent/water (CH3CN, H2O), time, and potential on the photoelectrochemical (PEC) cyclohexene oxidation reaction of the α-Fe2O3 photoanode. The α-Fe2O3 photoanode epoxidized cyclohexene to cyclohexene oxide with a 72.4 ± 3.6% yield and a 35.2 ± 1.6% Faradaic efficiency of 0.37 V vs Fc/Fc+ (0.8 VAg/AgCl) under 100 mW cm-2. Furthermore, the irradiation of light (PEC) decreased the applied voltage of the electrochemical cell oxidation process by 0.47 V. This work supplies an energy-saving and environment-benign approach for producing value-added chemicals coupled with solar fuel generation. Epoxidation with green solvents via PEC methods has a high potential for different oxidation reactions of value-added and fine chemicals.

Abstract
Organic pollutants removal from water is pressing owing to the great demand for clean water. Oxidation processes (OPs) are the commonly used method. However, the efficiency of most OPs is limited owing to the poor mass transfer process. Spatial confinement is a burgeoning way to solve this limitation by use of nanoreactor. Spatial confinement in OPs would (i) alter the transport characteristics of protons and charges; (ii) bring about molecular orientation and rearrangement; (iii) cause the dynamic redistribution of active sites in catalyst and reduce the entropic barrier that is high in unconfined space. So far, spatial confinement has been utilized for various OPs, such as Fenton, persulfate, and photocatalytic oxidation. A comprehensive summary and discussion on the fundamental mechanisms of spatial confinement mediated OPs is needed. Herein, the application, performance and mechanisms of spatial confinement mediated OPs are overviewed firstly. Subsequently, the features of spatial confinement and their effects on OPs are discussed in detail. Furthermore, environmental influences (including environmental pH, organic matter and inorganic ions) are studied with analyzing their intrinsic connection with the features of spatial confinement in OPs. Lastly, challenges and future development direction of spatial confinement mediated OPs are proposed.

Abstract
Adsorptive separation of propylene (C3H6) from propane (C3H8), which could deal with energy-intensive cryogenic distillation technologies, remains challenging due to their similar physiochemical properties. Herein, we present a pure silica zeolite with ordered silanols (OSs), whose crystallographic structure was unraveled by the advanced three-dimensional electron diffraction (3D ED), displaying the highly efficient separation of propylene from propane under ambient conditions. The 3D ED technique enables us to investigate its 8-ring pore opening transformation from the round one to the elliptical one during the removal of organic structure-directing agents. Such unique elliptical 8-ring pore openings can exclude larger-size propane and only adsorb propylene. Its C3H6/C3H8 separation performance is also confirmed by column breakthrough experiments, showing a high dynamic adsorption capacity of 53.36 cm3 g-1 for C3H6 but negligible C3H8 under ambient conditions. The dynamic capacity for C3H6 is superior to that of the well-known pure silica DDR-type zeolite (31.07 cm3 g-1). The density functional theory calculation demonstrates that the adsorbed propylene is distributed in the heart-shaped cavity and has a weak interaction with the OSs.

Abstract
Supported catalysts that are important in technology prominently include atomically dispersed metals and metal clusters. When the metals are noble, they are typically unstable-susceptible to sintering-especially under reducing conditions. Embedding the metals in supports such as organic polymers, metal oxides, and zeolites confers stability on the metals but at the cost of catalytic activity associated with the lack of accessibility of metal bonding sites to reactants. An approach to stabilizing noble metal catalysts while maintaining their accessibility involves anchoring them in molecular-scale nests that are in or on supports. The nests include zeolite pore mouths, zeolite surface cups (half-cages), raft-like islands of oxophilic metals bonded to metal oxide supports, clusters of non-noble metals (e.g., hosting noble metals as single-atom alloys), and nanoscale metal oxide islands that selectively bond to the catalytic metals, isolating them from the support. These examples illustrate a trend toward precision in the synthesis of solid catalysts, and the latter two classes of nested catalysts offer realistic prospects for economical large-scale application.

Abstract
Metal substitution of molecular sieve systems is a major driving force in developing novel catalytic processes to meet current demands of green chemistry concepts and to achieve sustainability in the chemical industry and in other aspects of our everyday life. The advantages of metal-substituted molecular sieves include high surface areas, molecular sieving effects, confinement effects, and active site and morphology variability and stability. The present review aims to comprehensively and critically assess recent advances in the area of tetra- (Ti, Sn, Zr, Hf) and pentavalent (V, Nb, Ta) metal-substituted molecular sieves, which are mainly characterized for their Lewis acidic active sites. Metal oxide molecular sieve materials with properties similar to those of zeolites and siliceous molecular sieve systems are also discussed, in addition to relevant studies on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and some composite MOF systems. In particular, this review focuses on (i) synthesis aspects determining active site accessibility and local environment; (ii) advances in active site characterization and, importantly, quantification; (iii) selective redox and isomerization reaction applications; and (iv) photoelectrocatalytic applications.

Abstract
Deboronation treatment of zeolite B-SSZ-55 can generate vacancy defects consisting of four silanol groups (silanol nests). However, 1H solid-state NMR spectroscopy indicates the prevalence of two silanol groups (silanol dyads) instead of four silanol groups. Such silanol dyads must be formed by the silanol condensation of two silanol groups at the silanol nests. Yet, the exact mechanism of this condensation and detailed structure of the silanol defect are not known. Here, the structure and formation mechanism of silanol dyads in the SSZ-55 zeolite have been investigated by both cluster and periodic density functional theory calculations. The calculated 1H NMR chemical shifts agree with the experimental values, showing that the silanol dyads are indeed commonly present at the vacancies and the vacancy density plays a role in the relaxation of the zeolite framework. The nature (size) of the silanol clusters influences their acidity.

Abstract
The conversion of CO2 and epoxides to cyclic carbonates over a silica-supported di-iron(III) complex having a reduced Robson macrocycle ligand system is shown to proceed at 1 atm and 80 °C, exclusively producing the cis-cyclohexene carbonate from cyclohexene oxide. We examine the effect of immobilization configuration to show that the complex grafted in a semirigid configuration catalytically outperforms the rigid, flexible configurations and even the homogeneous counterparts. Using the semirigid catalyst, we are able to obtain a TON of up to 800 and a TOF of up to 37 h-1 under 1 atm CO2. The catalyst is shown to be recyclable with only minor leaching and no change to product selectivity. We further examine a range of epoxides with varying electron-withdrawing/donating properties. This work highlights the benefit arising from the constraining effect of a solid surface, akin to the role of hydrogen bonds in enzyme catalysts, and the importance of correctly balancing it.

Abstract
A critical review of different prominent nanotechnologies adapted to catalysis is provided, with focus on how they contribute to the improvement of selectivity in heterogeneous catalysis. Ways to modify catalytic sites range from the use of the reversible or irreversible adsorption of molecular modifiers to the immobilization or tethering of homogeneous catalysts and the development of well-defined catalytic sites on solid surfaces. The latter covers methods for the dispersion of single-atom sites within solid supports as well as the use of complex nanostructures, and it includes the post-modification of materials via processes such as silylation and atomic layer deposition. All these methodologies exhibit both advantages and limitations, but all offer new avenues for the design of catalysts for specific applications. Because of the high cost of most nanotechnologies and the fact that the resulting materials may exhibit limited thermal or chemical stability, they may be best aimed at improving the selective synthesis of high value-added chemicals, to be incorporated in organic synthesis schemes, but other applications are being explored as well to address problems in energy production, for instance, and to design greener chemical processes. The details of each of these approaches are discussed, and representative examples are provided. We conclude with some general remarks on the future of this field.

Abstract
Zeolites possessing large specific surface areas, ordered micropores, and adjustable acidity/basicity have emerged as ideal supports to immobilize metal species with small sizes and high dispersities. In recent years, the zeolite-supported metal catalysts have been widely used in diverse catalytic processes, showing excellent activity, superior thermal/hydrothermal stability, and unique shape-selectivity. In this review, a comprehensive summary of the state-of-the-art achievements in catalytic applications of zeolite-supported metal catalysts are presented for important heterogeneous catalytic processes in the last five years, mainly including 1) the hydrogenation reactions (e.g., CO/CO2 hydrogenation, hydrogenation of unsaturated compounds, and hydrogenation of nitrogenous compounds); 2) dehydrogenation reactions (e.g., alkane dehydrogenation and dehydrogenation of chemical hydrogen storage materials); 3) oxidation reactions (e.g., CO oxidation, methane oxidation, and alkene epoxidation); and 4) other reactions (e.g., hydroisomerization reaction and selective catalytic reduction of NOx with ammonia reaction). Finally, some current limitations and future perspectives on the challenge and opportunity for this subject are pointed out. It is believed that this review will inspire more innovative research on the synthesis and catalysis of zeolite-supported metal catalysts and promote their future developments to meet the emerging demands for practical applications.

Abstract
Solvent molecules interact with reactive species and alter the rates and selectivities of catalytic reactions by orders of magnitude. Specifically, solvent molecules can modify the free energies of liquid phase and surface species via solvation, participating directly as a reactant or co-catalyst, or competitively binding to active sites. These effects carry consequences for reactions relevant for the conversion of renewable or recyclable feedstocks, the development of distributed chemical manufacturing, and the utilization of renewable energy to drive chemical reactions. First, we describe the quantitative impact of these effects on steady-state catalytic turnover rates through a rate expression derived for a generic catalytic reaction (A → B), which illustrates the functional dependence of rates on each category of solvent interaction. Second, we connect these concepts to recent investigations of the effects of solvents on catalysis to show how interactions between solvent and reactant molecules at solid-liquid interfaces influence catalytic reactions. This discussion demonstrates that the design of effective liquid phase catalytic processes benefits from a clear understanding of these intermolecular interactions and their implications for rates and selectivities.

Abstract
Recently, Pd-exchanged CHA zeolites (Pd-CHA) have attracted attention as promising passive NOx adsorbers (PNAs) for reducing NOx emissions during the cold start period of a vehicle engine. In this work, the relationship between the local structures and the NO adsorption/desorption properties of the Pd cations in CHA zeolites was investigated. Pd cation formation and NO adsorption were theoretically explored by density functional theory (DFT) calculations for different paired Al sites in six-/eight-membered rings (6MR/8MR). Furthermore, we prepared a series of Pd-CHAs with different Pd loadings (0.5-5.4 wt%) and evaluated their NO adsorption/desorption properties by in situ infrared (IR) spectroscopy and temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) measurements. The increase in the Pd loading resulted in a shift in the NO desorption temperature toward a higher temperature regime. This phenomenon was ascribed to the increase in the proportion of less stable Pd cations, resulting in improved NO adsorption. Furthermore, the effect of Al distribution on the NO adsorption property of Pd-CHA was examined using CHA zeolites containing different proportions of paired Al sites in 6MR while maintaining similar Si/Al ratios (Si/Al = 12.0-16.5). The present study, based on a combination of theoretical and experimental techniques, shows that the NO adsorption/desorption properties over Pd-CHA can be tuned by controlling the Pd loading amount and the type of paired Al sites.

Abstract
We investigate the interaction between a molecule and a pore mouth-a critical step in adsorption processes-by characterizing the conformation of a macrocyclic calix[4]arene-TiIV complex, which is grafted on the external surface of a zeotype (*-SVY). X-ray absorption and 13 C{1 H} CPMAS NMR spectroscopies independently detect a unique conformation of this complex when it is grafted at crystallographically equivalent locations that lie at the interface of 7 Å hemispherical microporous cavities and the external surface. Electronic structure calculations support the presence of this unique conformation, and suggest that it is brought about by a specific orientation of the macrocycle that maximizes non-covalent interactions between calix[4]arene upper-rim tert-butyl substituents and the microporous-cavity walls. Our comparative study provides a rare "snapshot" of a molecule partially confined at a pore mouth, an essential intermediate for adsorption into micropores, and demonstrates how surrounding environment controls this confinement in a sensitive fashion.

Abstract
Green and efficient synthesis of titanium-containing molecular sieves is limited by the quantity of environmentally unfriendly additives and complicated synthesis procedures required. Oligomerization of Ti monomers into anatase TiO2 is the typical outcome of such procedures because of a mismatch between hydrolysis rates of Si and Ti precursors. We report a simple and generic additive-free route for the synthesis of Ti-containing molecular sieves (MFI, MEL, and BEA). This approach successfully reverses the formation of Ti oligomers to match hydrolysis rates of Ti and Si species with the assistance of hydroxyl free radicals generated in situ from ultraviolet irradiation. Moreover, fantastic catalytic performance for propene epoxidation with H2 and O2 was observed. Compared with the conventional hydrothermal method, this approach opens up new opportunities for high-efficiency, environmentally benign, and facile production of pure titanium-containing molecular sieves.

Abstract
Controlling selectivity between competing reaction pathways is crucial in catalysis. Several approaches have been proposed to achieve this goal in traditional heterogeneous catalysts including tuning nanoparticle size, varying alloy composition, and controlling supporting material. A less explored and promising research area to control reaction selectivity is via the use of hybrid organic/inorganic catalysts. These materials contain inorganic components which serve as sites for chemical reactions and organic components which either provide diffusional control or directly participate in the formation of active site motifs. Despite the appealing potential of these hybrid materials to increase reaction selectivity, there are significant challenges to the rational design of such hybrid nanostructures. Structural and mechanistic characterization of these materials play a key role in understanding and, therefore, designing these organic/inorganic hybrid catalysts. This Outlook highlights the design of hybrid organic/inorganic catalysts with a brief overview of four different classes of materials and discusses the practical catalytic properties and opportunities emerging from such designs in the area of energy and environmental transformations. Key structural and mechanistic characterization studies are identified to provide fundamental insight into the atomic structure and catalytic behavior of hybrid organic/inorganic catalysts. Exemplary works are used to show how specific active site motifs allow for remarkable changes in the reaction selectivity. Finally, to demonstrate the potential of hybrid catalyst materials, we suggest a characterization-based approach toward the design of biomimetic hybrid organic/inorganic materials for a specific application in the energy and environmental research space: the conversion of methane into methanol.

Abstract
Titanosilicate zeolites are catalysts of interest in the field of fine chemicals. However, the generation and accessibility of active sites in titanosilicate materials for catalyzing reactions with large molecules is still a challenge. Herein, we prepared titanosilicate zeolite precursors with open zeolitic structures, tunable pore sizes, and controllable Si/Ti ratios through a hydrothermal crystallization strategy by using quaternary ammonium templates. A series of quaternary ammonium ions are discovered as effective organic templates. The prepared amorphous titanosilicate zeolites with some zeolite framework structural order have extra-large micropores and abundant octahedrally coordinated isolated Ti species, which lead to a superior catalytic performance in the oxidative desulfurization of dibenzothiophene (DBT) and epoxidation of cyclohexene. It is anticipated that the amorphous prezeolitic titanosilicates will benefit the catalytic conversion of bulky molecules in a wide range of reaction processes. Titanosilicate zeolite precursors, with open structures of zeolite units and high amounts of catalytically active Ti species, show superior catalytic performance in the oxidative reactions.![]()

Abstract
As to metallosilicate zeolites, ions with larger size such as Ta5+ in the gels greatly retarded their crystallization during the hydrothermal synthesis, affording long-winded synthesis periods, up-limited framework-substituted metal contents, or even frustrated outcome. An efficient hydrothermal synthesis strategy for metallosilicate, in this case of Ta framework-substituted *BEA zeolite, via structural reconstruction was proposed to stride the gap. The Ta content in our developed Ta-Beta-Re-50 zeolite achieved up to 5.48 % (Si/Ta = 52), breaking through the limitation of Ta contents for conventional method (Si/Ta > 100). Additionally, this Ta-Beta-Re zeolite possessed nanosized crystals (20-40 nm) and short crystallization time (8 h), significantly improving space-time yields of practical zeolite production. Through spectroscopic study, it was confirmed that the existence of zeolite structural units intensively facilitated the formation of nucleation and crystal growth. This innovative Ta-Beta zeolite demonstrated high catalytic performances for oxidation desulfurization, far outperforming traditional fluoride-mediated Ta-Beta-F, which was ascribed to its excellent diffusion properties and incredible high isolated Ta contents. Additionally, the catalytic performance of Ta-Beta-Re could be regenerated after simple calcination and the deactivation may be caused by pore blocking of organics. This work provides a new method for rationally design and construction of metallosilicate materials with high activity for catalytic oxidation applications, which can bridge the conceptual and technical gap between periodic trends and zeolite material synthesis.

Abstract
Water networks confined within zeolites solvate clustered reactive intermediates and must rearrange to accommodate transition states that differ in size and polarity, with thermodynamic penalties that depend on the shape of the confining environment.
Aqueous-phase reactions within microporous Brønsted acids occur at active centers comprised of water-reactant-clustered hydronium ions, solvated within extended hydrogen-bonded water networks that tend to stabilize reactive intermediates and transition states differently. The effects of these diverse clustered and networked structures were disentangled here by measuring turnover rates of gas-phase ethanol dehydration to diethyl ether (DEE) on H-form zeolites as water pressure was increased to the point of intrapore condensation, causing protons to become solvated in larger clusters that subsequently become solvated by extended hydrogen-bonded water networks, according to in situ IR spectra. Measured first-order rate constants in ethanol quantify the stability of SN2 transition states that eliminate DEE relative to (C2H5OH)(H+)(H2O)n clusters of increasing molecularity, whose structures were respectively determined using metadynamics and ab initio molecular dynamics simulations. At low water pressures (2–10 kPa H2O), rate inhibition by water (–1 reaction order) reflects the need to displace one water by ethanol in the cluster en route to the DEE-formation transition state, which resides at the periphery of water–ethanol clusters. At higher water pressures (10–75 kPa H2O), water–ethanol clusters reach their maximum stable size ((C2H5OH)(H+)(H2O)4–5), and water begins to form extended hydrogen-bonded networks; concomitantly, rate inhibition by water (up to –3 reaction order) becomes stronger than expected from the molecularity of the reaction, reflecting the more extensive disruption of hydrogen bonds at DEE-formation transition states that contain an additional solvated non-polar ethyl group compared to the relevant reactant cluster, as described by non-ideal thermodynamic formalisms of reaction rates. Microporous voids of different hydrophilic binding site density (Beta; varying H+ and Si–OH density) and different size and shape (Beta, MFI, TON, CHA, AEI, FAU), influence the relative extents to which intermediates and transition states disrupt their confined water networks, which manifest as different kinetic orders of inhibition at high water pressures. The confinement of water within sub-nanometer spaces influences the structures and dynamics of the complexes and extended networks formed, and in turn their ability to accommodate the evolution in polarity and hydrogen-bonding capacity as reactive intermediates become transition states in Brønsted acid-catalyzed reactions.

Abstract
Nests of three silanol groups are located on the internal pore surface of calcined zeolite SSZ‐70. 2D 1H double/triple‐quantum single‐quantum correlation NMR experiments enable a rigorous identification of these silanol triad nests. They reveal a close proximity to the structure directing agent (SDA), that is, N,N′‐diisobutyl imidazolium cations, in the as‐synthesized material, in which the defects are negatively charged (silanol dyad plus one charged SiO− siloxy group) for charge balance. It is inferred that ring strain prevents the condensation of silanol groups upon calcination and removal of the SDA to avoid energetically unfavorable three‐rings. In contrast, tetrad nests, created by boron extraction from B‐SSZ‐70 at various other locations, are not stable and silanol condensation occurs. Infrared spectroscopic investigations of adsorbed pyridine indicate an enhanced acidity of the silanol triads, suggesting important implications in catalysis.

Abstract
A hollow multishell structure (HoMS) is an assembly of multiple shells with voids between the individual shells. Accessible through nanopores, these voids represent separate reaction environments in the same assembly, such that HoMSs have unique properties that are applicable to diverse fields. These applications have mostly exploited the large specific surface area, high loading capacity and/or buffering effect of HoMSs, benefiting the mass/energy transmission and effective surface area. In comparison, the temporal-spatial ordering of reactions, as well as the dynamic smart behaviour of HoMSs, have been less explored but are also emphasized in this Perspective. We first describe the synthesis of HoMSs and the thermodynamic and kinetic aspects of their formation. We then consider the composition and structural functionalization of each shell within a HoMS and then highlight how these enable applications based on temporal-spatial ordering and dynamic smart behaviour.
