title = "Macrocellular Titanosilicate Monoliths as Highly Efficient Structured Olefin Epoxidation Catalysts",
abstract = "Self-standing macrocellular titanosilicate monolith foams are obtained using a one-pot sol-gel route and show excellent performance in the epoxidation of cyclohexene. Thanks to the High Internal Phase Emulsion (HIPE) templating method, the materials feature a high void fraction, a hierarchically porous texture and good mechanical strength. Highly dispersed Ti species can be incorporated in tetrahedral coordination in the silica matrix. These characteristics allow the obtained {\textquoteleft}SiTi(HIPE){\textquoteright} materials to reach high catalytic turnover in the epoxidation of cyclohexene. The monoliths can advantageously be used to run the reaction in continuous flow mode.",
