Overview of mechanochemical methods in zeolite science and their advantages.

	Application of mechanochemistry	Advantages
Pre-treatment	Activation of raw materials	Fast synthesis, solvent-free
	Heteroatom zeolites	Fast synthesis, access to cheap precursors
	Milling of seed crystals	Fast synthesis, well-controlled synthesis conditions
Post-treatment	Heteroatom zeolites	Avoiding wet chemistry (impregnation)
	Milling + recrystallisation	Well-controlled (nano) crystal size
	Modification of textural properties	Particle size reduction, formation of meso-/macropores
