The main aim of the project is design at nano-scale zeolite with improved catalytic performance, optimized for biomass transformation to dedicated chemicals.

The research is focusing on the zeolites with different pore size. Examination of effect of the zeolites as support on nanostructure and reactivity

of the metal nanoparticles is performed using theoretical and experimental tools.

Role of zeolite structure is studied on reactivity in selected biomass conversion reactions. 

Active sites and electronic structures of zeolite catalysts during reactions are explored, which lead us to developing new class of catalysts with declare molecular structure.

The zeolites, commercially available in purely microporous form, are prepared also in mesoporous shape and with addition of selected metal nanoparticles.

 In the project new insights from both molecular modelling and experimental methods are used to obtain knowledge about zeolite topology and catalytic properties.

In the research project variety of unresolved problems and uncertainties are tackled, whose solution will have a significant impact on the development of science

and economy of zeolite catalysts design and production for environmentally friendly production of important chemicals.
