Radiation accelerates early stages of crystal growth and creates larger pores that can adsorb six-times more gas
Bombarding zeolites with gamma rays during their synthesis can dramatically increases the rate at which crystals form, researchers in China have found.1 The resulting zeolites also possess wider pores, leading to a six-fold increase in carbon dioxide adsorption capacity.
