Electrochemistry supported by zeolites, clays, layered double hydroxides, ordered mesoporous (organo)silicas, and related materials
Résumé
In the last decades, there is an increasingly growing interest in the electrochemistry of a series of ordered solids based on zeolites, clays, layered double hydroxides, and other materials having in common a nanostructured porous inorganic matrix able to be permeated with organic and inorganic species. Such materials comprise a variety of nanoarchitectures in relation to the shape and size of the crystals and their cavities, pores, channels, etc., from microporous to mesoporous, and a variety of guest species, from neutral molecules to cationic and anionic guests. The synergistic combination of site isolation and ion exchange or adsorption capacity of these materials has motivated their exploitation in the electrochemistry domain for catalysis, energy production and storage, and sensing. The current issue of Journal of Solid State Electrochemistry is devoted to present a picture of the state of the art in this field covering the different aspects directly dealing with the intersection between materials science and electrochemistry.
