Since there exist a large number of different zeolite structures and the elemental composition can be varied as well (different cations can be build in and the Si&Al-atoms can be replaced by Ge, P, Ga, Zn, Ti, B etc.) it is in theory possible to optimise a zeolite for each specific application. Unfortunately, little is known about the exact mechanisms underlying the synthesis of zeolite making it often very difficult and tedious or even impossible to synthesize the designed optimal zeolite in practice. We therefore propose to research the zeolite properties in a bottom-up approach, starting from the silica nanoblocks [Bromley2004, Flikkema2004] that can be coalesced together to form a material (see e.g. [Chane2005]).\n\nWithin this framework of research, we will be investigating the catalytic potential of the obtained materials, their interactions with other nanostructures [Wojdel2005] and their stability. Additionally, we want to explore the possibility of storage and selective separation of small gas molecules and in particular hydrogen and water in such materials [vdBerg2004].\n\nThe research projects that we intend to perform on TERAS are aimed to gain a deeper insight into the synthesis process of zeolites and their application as hydrogen storage material and water extraction sieve.\n\nWithin the framework of this project we intend to collaborate with the following institutions:\n\n\n\n-\tDepartment Quimica Fisica and Centre Especial de Recerca en Quimica Teorica, Universitat de Barcelona and Parc Cientific, c/Marti i Franques 1, E-08028 Barcelona, Spain, contact: Dr. S.T.
