Abstract  

Microporous crystalline zeolite materials have large specific surface area, high hydrothermal stability, abundant and uniform micropores and adjustable surface properties, which exhibited promising applications in adsorption, catalysis, antibacteria, drug delivery and water treatment. Zeolite has strong cation exchange ability and the Ag in silver-loaded zeolites prepared by ion-exchange method mainly exists in the following three states: Ag+, silver nanoclusters and silver nanoparticles. Due to the biocompatibility of Ag+ and the efficient and adjustable luminescent performance of silver clusters, they have received wide attention in recent years. This article reviews the applications of silver-loaded zeolites prepared by ion-exchange method in white LEDs and tunable luminescent phosphors, sensors, antibacterial materials, adsorption and catalysis etc.
Key words:  review      inorganic non-metallic materials      zeolite      ion-exchange      silver clusters      application
