Nanoporous materials consist of a regular organic or inorganic framework supporting a regular, porous structure. Pores are by definition roughly in the nanometre range, that is between 1x10-7 and 0.2x10-9 m.

Subdivisions:

Nanoporous materials can be subdivided into 3 categories, set out by IUPAC:

• Microporous materials: Such as Zeolites, 0.2–2nm

• Mesoporous materials: 2–50nm

• Macroporous materials: 50–1000nm
