Abstract

The synthesis of aluminophosphates has significantly advanced in recent years and in particular the synthesis of mesoporous aluminophosphate. This chapter reviews this advancement and outlines progress in the synthesis of metal-containing mesoporous aluminophosphates and the advances in the applications of these solids particularly in the area of catalysis.
