Research activities and recent developments in the area of three-dimensional zeolites and their two-dimensional analogues are reviewed. Zeolites are the most important industrial heterogeneous catalysts with numerous applications. However, they suffer from limited pore sizes not allowing penetration of sterically demanding molecules to their channel systems and to active sites. We briefly highlight here the synthesis, properties and catalytic potential of three-dimensional zeolites followed by a discussion of hierarchical zeolites combining micro- and mesoporosity. The final part is devoted to two-dimensional analogues developed recently. Novel bottom-up and top-down synthetic approaches for two-dimensional zeolites, their properties, and catalytic performances are thoroughly discussed in this review.

从3D到2D沸石催化材料

综述了三维沸石及其二维类似物的研究活动和最新进展。沸石是最重要的工业非均相催化剂，具有许多应用。但是，它们的孔径受到限制，不允许空间需求的分子渗透到其通道系统和活性位点。我们在此简要介绍三维沸石的合成，性质和催化潜力，然后讨论结合微孔和中孔性的分级沸石。最后一部分专门介绍了最近开发的二维类似物。在这篇综述中，将对新型的自上而下和自上而下的二维沸石合成方法，其性质和催化性能进行全面讨论。
