Magnetic zeolites: novel nanoreactors through radiofrequency heating

Chem Commun (Camb). 2017 Apr 11;53(30):4262-4265. doi: 10.1039/c7cc01138e.

Abstract

Many catalytic applications use conventional heating to increase the temperature to allow the desired reaction. A novel methodology is presented for the preparation of magnetic zeolite-based catalysts, allowing more efficient radiofrequency heating. These nanoreactors are tested in the isomerisation of citronellal with successful results and without any apparent deactivation.
