Zeolites and zeolite-based materials in analytical chemistry

Zeolites are inorganic materials with large surface areas and well-defined internal structures of uniform cages, cavities or channels. This review analyzes recent literature giving particular attention to applying zeolite and zeolite-based materials in developing approaches to electrochemical and optical sensing, and techniques for separation or preconcentration. We highlight the analytical potential of these materials and suggest avenues for further research.
