Challenges and opportunities for zeolite-based catalysts in catalytic oxidation of volatile organic compounds

Elimination of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) via catalytic oxidation has been currently considered as one of the most efficient methods, where zeolite-based catalysts have emerged as highly promising materials in the realm of VOC oxidation due to their unique features including uniform and intricate channels, large surface areas, high adsorption capacities and high thermal and hydrothermal stabilities. This perspective offers a comprehensive analysis of the structure and composition of zeolites, serving as a foundation for understanding their varied performances in the catalytic oxidation of VOCs. Furthermore, it shows a range of challenges and opportunities aimed at enhancing the efficiency and reducing the cost of zeolite-based catalysts for their potential application in the catalytic oxidation of VOCs.
