Industrial production of zeolites is usually performed under hydrothermal conditions in the presence of organic
templates, which is typically energy-consumptive and environmentally unfriendly. We found that the major role of theorganic templates is to direct the formation of zeolite nuclei, and water can be regarded as a “catalyst” for the zeolite
crystallization. According to these understandings, it is developed sustainable routes for synthesis of zeolites suchas organotemplate-free and solvent-free synthesis. In addition, supported metal species as catalysts suffer fromdeactivation resulting from metal sintering and coke deposition at high reaction temperatures. In contrast, zeolite
catalysts are shape-selective and very stable, but shortage of metal active sites. We developed an efficient andgeneral strategy for the preparation of metal species fixed within zeolite crystals, achieved a series of heterogeneous
catalysts combined the advantages of both zeolite crystals (high stability of rigid zeolite framework and zeolite shapeselectivity) and metal species (high activity).
Prof. Feng-Shou Xiao received his B.S. and M.S. degrees in the Department of Chemistry, Jilin University, China. From
there he moved to Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, China for Ph. D. research, then to the Catalysis ResearchCenter, Hokkaido University, Japan, where he was involved in collaborative research between Dalian Institute ofChemical Physics & Jilin University, China with Hokkaido University, Japan. He was a Ph.D. student in Dalian for one
year and in Sapporo for two years. In 1990, he was awarded his Ph.D. degree at Jilin University. After postdoctoral
work at the University of California at Davis, USA, he joined the faculty at Jilin University in 1994, where he becamea full professor in 1996 and distinguished professor in 2003. Since the end of 2009, Dr. Xiao as a distinguished professor
has moved to Department of Chemistry, Zhejiang University. Currently, he is an associate editor of Industrial &Engineering Chemistry Research, also serving as secretary of the Asia-Pacific Association of Catalysis Societies. His
research is mainly focused on zeolites, porous materials, and catalysis. He has more than 500 peer-reviewed papers
with over 25 000 citations, H-index of 82, 130 granted patents, and over 50 plenary and keynote lectures atinternational conferences.
