Abstract
Great interests have arisen over the last decade in the development of hierarchically porous materials. The hierarchical structure enables materials to have maximum structural functions owing to enhanced accessibility and mass transport properties, leading to improved performances in various applications. Hierarchical porous materials are in high demand for applications in catalysis, adsorption, separation, energy and biochemistry. In the present review, recent advances in synthesis routes to hierarchically porous materials are reviewed together with their catalytic contributions.

Baolian Su is a member of the Royal Academy of Belgium, a fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry and a life member of Clare Hall College, University of Cambridge. He holds “Chaire Francqui au titre Belge”. He joined the faculty at the University of Namur and created the Laboratory of Inorganic Materials Chemistry (CMI) in 1995. He is currently a Director of the Laboratory of Inorganic Materials Chemistry (CMI), University of Namur, Belgium. His is an “Expert of the State” in the framework of the Chinese Central Government program of “Thousands Talents” and “Changjiang Professor” appointed by Chinese Ministry of Education. He is “Strategical Scientist” at the Wuhan University of Technology. He has received a series of honours and awards such as the First Prize Invention Award of Sinopec (1992, China), A. Wetrems Prize (2007, Royal Academy of Belgium) and IUPAC Distinguished Award for Novel Materials and their synthesis (2011). His current research fields include the synthesis, the property study and the molecular engineering of organized, hierarchically porous and bio-inspired materials, biomaterials, living materials, leaf-like materials and nanostructures and the immobilisation of living organisms for artificial photosynthesis, nanotechnology, biotechnology, cell therapy and biomedical applications.
Lihua Chen awarded his Ph.D degrees in inorganic chemistry from Jilin University, China (2009) and in inorganic materials chemistry from University of Namur, Belgium (2011). In 2011–2012, he held a project-researcher position at the University of Namur with Professor Bao-Lian Su working on hierarchically porous zeolites. He is currently a full professor working in the State Key Laboratory of Advanced Technology for Materials Synthesis and Processing from the Wuhan University of Technology, China. His research is aimed at new porous materials with designed hierarchically porosity for energy and environmental applications.
