“…In addition to its therapeutic effect, zeolite also promotes the healing process of bacterially infected wounds. The mechanism of antimicrobial action of zeolites is not fully understood but is probably based on physical adsorption, ion exchange, and indirect catalysis [ 210 ]. Due to their physical adsorption capacity, zeolites immobilize microbial cells on their surface, leading to their death [ 211 ].…”

Zeolites, a group of minerals with unique properties, have been known for more than 250 years. However, it was the development of methods for hydrothermal synthesis of zeolites and their large-scale industrial applications (oil processing, agriculture, production of detergents and building materials, water treatment processes, etc.) that made them one of the most important materials of the 20th century, with great practical and research significance. The orderly, homogeneous crystalline and porous structure of zeolites, their susceptibility to various modifications, and their useful physicochemical properties contribute to the continuous expansion of their practical applications in both large-volume processes (ion exchange, adsorption, separation of mixture components, catalysis) and specialized ones (sensors). The following review of the knowledge available in the literature on zeolites aims to present the most important information on the properties, synthesis methods, and selected applications of this group of aluminosilicates. Special attention is given to the use of zeolites in agriculture and environmental protection.

“…Zeolites are crystalline aluminosilicates with more than 200 topology structures, which have been widely applied in the fields of catalysis, adsorption, and drug delivery. In recent years, many of the zeolites have received great research interest for the synthesis of functional composites because of their regular porous framework, which is capable of incorporating various nanoparticles [17][18][19]. It was reported that zeolites can be used as a matrix for various nano-sized metal and oxides to construct nanoparticle@zeolite composites, which not only improved the properties of individual nanoparticles but also endowed the composites with new functions [20].…”

In this research, upconversion nanocrystals incorporated with MOR zeolite composites were synthesized using the desilicated MOR zeolite as a host for the in situ growth of NaREF4 (RE = Y, Gd) Yb/Er nanocrystals. The structure and morphology of the composites were studied with XRD, XPS, and TEM measurements, and the spectral studies indicated that the subsequent thermal treatment can effectively improve the upconversion emission intensity of Er3+. By using the NaYF4:Yb/Er@DSi1.0MOR-HT composite that holds the strongest upconversion emission, a probe of UCNC@DSiMOR/BPEI was constructed with the modification of branched poly ethylenimine for the detection of Cu2+. It was indicated that the integrated emission intensity of Er3+ shows a linear dependence with the logarithm value of the Cu2+ concentration ranging from 0.1 to 10 μM. This study offered a feasible method for the construction of UCNC@zeolite composites with enhanced upconversion emission, which may have a potential application as fluorescent probes for the detection of various metal ions by adjusting the doping luminescent center.

“…16–19 Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs), a subclass of MOFs fabricated with metal ions (cobalt or zinc) and imidazolate linkers, have exhibited prominent potential due to their exceptional chemical stability and biocompatibility. 20–22 The research trend of ZIFs is the synthesis of ZIF-based composites to conquer bacterial resistance, with ZIF-8 and ZIF-67 being the commonest ZIFs researched for their antibacterial activities. 23–26 Recently, ZIF-8 functionalized with polymer as coatings were found to have both competitive antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.…”
