| Summary: | Mesoporous solid bases are extremely desirable in green catalytic processes, due to their advantages of accelerated mass transport, negligible corrosion, and easy separation. Great progress has been made in mesoporous solid bases in the last decade. In addition to their wide applications in the catalytic synthesis of organics and fine chemicals, mesoporous solid bases have also been used in the field of energy and environmental catalysis. Development of mesoporous solid bases is therefore of significant importance from both academic and practical points of view. In this review, we provide an overview of the recent advances in mesoporous solid bases, which is basically grouped by the support type and each category is illustrated with typical examples. Cooperative catalysts derived from the incorporation of additional functionalities (
i.e.
acid and metal) into mesoporous solid bases are also included. The fundamental principles of how to design and fabricate basic materials with mesostructure are highlighted. The mechanism of the formation of basic sites in different mesoporous systems is discussed as well.
Recent advances in mesoporous solid bases were reviewed, and fundamental principles of how to fabricate efficient basic catalysts were highlighted. |

He joined the faculty of Nanjing Tech University in 2008, and became an associate professor in 2011. He was a postdoctoral research associate at Texas A&M University with Professor Hong-Cai Zhou in 2011-2012. His current research interests focus on fabrication of porous materials and their applications in adsorption and heterogeneous catalysis. Hong-Cai "Joe" Zhou obtained his PhD in 2000 from Texas A&M University under the supervision of F. A. Cotton. After a postdoctoral stint at Harvard University with R. H. Holm, he joined the faculty of Miami University, Oxford in 2002. He rose to the rank of a full professor in Texas A&M University in 2008 and was promoted to Davidson Professor of Science in 2014. His research focuses on the discovery of synthetic methods to obtain robust framework materials with unique catalytic activities or desirable properties for clean-energy-related applications, taking advantage of the confinement effect in a microscopic or mesoscopic cavity.
