Three new zeotiles , materials combining the advantages of micro‐ and mesoporous silica materials and capable of withstanding 300 °C, have been designed by tiling Silicalite‐1 nanoslabs. The Figure shows the projected silicate framework of one of the zeotiles in yellow, superimposed on a high resolution electron microscopy simulated image. Applications of the zeotiles as molecular sieves and carriers for catalytic functions may be expected.
