Progress on synthesis of nano-zeolite by confined space method

Three confined space methods for synthesis of nano-zeolites, namely microemulsion or reverse micelle method, confined space method in inert medium and confined space method in polymer hydrogels, were reviewed. Principles of these methods and their applications in synthesis of nano-zeolite were introduced. Adjustable size and uniformity of nanozeolites could be achieved by applying these methods. Features of these methods for Synthesis of nanozeolites were summarized and compared. Their application prospect was proposed.
