1. A modified zeolite comprising:
a microporous framework comprising a plurality of micropores having diameters of less than or equal to 2 nm, wherein the microporous framework comprises at least silicon atoms and oxygen atoms; and
a plurality of mesopores having diameters of greater than 2 nm and less than or equal to 50 nm, wherein the plurality of mesopores are ordered with cubic symmetry; and
a plurality of zirconium hydride moieties each bonded to at least two bridging oxygen atoms, wherein a zirconium atom of the zirconium hydride is bonded to the bridging oxygen atom, and wherein the bridging oxygen atom bridges the zirconium atom of the zirconium hydride moiety and a silicon atom of the microporous framework.
