Recent Progress and Strategies on the Design of Zeolite-Based Catalysts for Hydroformylation of Olefins

Due to their unique structural and mechanical characteristics, zeolites are of great interest as carriers for the design of catalysts. This review is focused on the progress in the development of new zeolite-based catalysts for hydroformylation. The procedures of materials synthesis and modification, the methods of metal introduction, and the effect of the catalyst structure on the activity, selectivity, and stability of the hydroformylation catalysts are discussed. This review highlights the role of up-to-date analytical techniques in the development of fine-tuned active and selective hydroformylation catalysts. The greatest achievements over the past five years considered in detail in this review demonstrate a high potential of zeolite-based hydroformylation catalysts. Future prospects and possible directions of upcoming studies are regarded.
