Recent research published in the @J_A_C_S (doi.org/10.1021/jacs...) by the Ashbrook and Morris groups has used in situ solid-state NMR spectroscopy and in situ X-ray diffraction to study the mechanism of non-traditional zeolite synthesis.

Research from the Ashbrook and Morris groups (Exploiting in situ NMR spectroscopy to understand non-traditional methods for zeolite synthesis), has been selected for the RSC 2025 most popular analytical chemistry articles collection. More details: doi.org/10.1039/D4SC...
