Advanced Porous Materials
Porous materials featuring high surface areas, narrow pore size distribution and tuneable pores diameters have attracted a great deal of attention in recent years due to their promising properties and applications, in various areas including adsorption, separation, sensing and catalysis. Innovation through specific and rational design has led to the development of a wide range of these materials with varying morphologies (e.g., hexagonal, cubic, rod-like), structures (e.g., silicates, carbons, metal oxides) and functionalities that currently makes this field one of the most developed in materials science. However, many advances in the field are recently diversifying this exciting area of work to promising applications in drug delivery, tumoral therapy, biomedicine, etc.
This webinar aims to provide an overview of theoretical and practical aspects of porous materials synthesis and preparation in view of their relevant applications, with a particular focus on adsorption, separation and catalysis.

Webinar Content
On Wednesday, 12 May 2021, MDPI and the Journal Materials organized the 2nd Webinar on Materials, entitled "Advanced Porous Materials". This online seminar was chaired by Prof. Dr. Rafael Luque, who is Research Professor at the University of Cordoba in Spain. The chair and the two other speakers Dr. Miguel Jorge (University of Strathclyde, UK) and Prof. Dr. Moises Luzia Pinto (University of Lisbon, Portugal) presented their research related to the theoretical and practical aspects of porous materials synthesis and preparation, with a particular focus on adsorption, separation and catalysis.
After a short introduction by the chair, Dr. Miguel Jorge presented his research on multi-scale modelling of porous silica synthesis. The second speaker was Prof. Dr. Moises Luzia Pinto and his presentation showed the gas adsorption and separation in new hybrid porous materials. Finally, the chair Prof. Dr. Rafael Luque presented the latest advances on the preparation and design of catalytically active porous materials.
A Q&A session and a discussion, moderated by the Chair, was conducted at the end. The webinar was offered via Zoom and required registration to attend. The full recording can be found below.
