Used as a high-surface-area support in catalysis, enabling better dispersion of active metal nanoparticles. Its uniform pore structure allows selective molecular transport, making it ideal for drug delivery systems where controlled release is needed. Applied in adsorption processes to remove pollutants like heavy metals or organic contaminants from water. Also utilized in sensing devices due to its ability to host indicator molecules within its pores. In cosmetics and personal care, it serves as a carrier for fragrances or active ingredients, providing prolonged effect. Its thermal stability and tunable surface chemistry make it suitable for use in advanced coatings and insulation materials.
