Zeolites and zeo-type materials with nanosized dimensions are of great practical interest owing to their favorable transport properties, faster adsorption kinetics, and large external surface area. This mini-review presents recent developments in the organic template-free synthesis of nanosized zeolites and related materials. The advantages and challenges of these methods are addressed with particular attention to the green synthesis of nanozeolites.
