Synthesis of micro- and mesoporous molecular sieves at room temperature and neutral pH catalyzed by functional analogues of silicatein.
By using functional mimics of the protein silicatein alpha together with organic structure directing agents, it was possible to produce different mesoporous and microporous molecular sieves at room temperature and neutral pH.
