The use of microwave radiation for the calcination of nanocomposite materials is shown here to provide a rapid and inexpensive method of preparing nanoporous materials. The intense heat produced by microwave radiation gives products of the same quality as those produced by furnace methods in a fraction of the time. The upper image shows MCM‐48 after 10 min in the microwave, the lower sample after 135 min in a furnace.
