采用水热法制备FeCrAl丝网负载FAU沸石膜,考察了合成液老化、载体预涂晶种以及晶种液中添加聚乙烯醇(PVA)等因素的影响,评价了FeCrAl丝网负载FAU沸石膜对模型吸热燃料正辛烷裂解的催化活性。结果表明,载体表面预涂Y分子筛晶种后有助于增加载体表面分子筛负载量,采用老化后的合成液,效果更显著,并且更易在金属丝上生长出一层连续致密的FAU沸石膜。在相同水热合成条件下,载体表面用含PVA的晶种液预涂晶种后,可增加分子筛负载量。正辛烷在FeCrAl丝网负载FAU沸石膜上的初始裂解转化率(7.2%～13.2%,500 ℃)高于其在空白载体上的裂解转化率(4.4%),FAU沸石膜的初始催化活性不仅与载体表面分子筛负载量有关,也与分子筛膜的形貌有关。

Fabrication of b‐Oriented MFI Zeolite Films under Neutral Conditions without the Use of Hydrogen Fluoride

The fabrication of MFI zeolite films with particular b‐axis orientation is especially fascinating. Unlike the conventional alkaline or hydrofluoric acid (HF) assisted neutral synthesis route, here we develop a novel neutral synthesis solution system of TPABr/fumed silica/H₂O without the use of HF and successfully synthesize highly b‐oriented MFI zeolite films on glass‐plate substrates by secondary growth. The localized weak alkaline environment created by the dissolved Na₂O species from the substrate is identified as the key factor for the depolymerization of fumed silica and subsequently the in‐plane growth of zeolite seed layers. Continuous b‐oriented MFI films can also be synthesized on other substrates in the presence of a glass plate or a trace amount of NaOH, which making our neutral synthesis route promising for the direct synthesis of MFI zeolite films and membranes on various substrates.

ZSM-5 zeolite single crystals with b-axis-aligned mesoporous channels as an efficient catalyst for conversion of bulky organic molecules

The relatively small and sole micropores in zeolite catalysts strongly influence the mass transfer and catalytic conversion of bulky molecules. We report here aluminosilicate zeolite ZSM-5 single crystals with b-axis-aligned mesopores, synthesized using a designed cationicamphiphilic copolymer as a mesoscale template. This sample exhibits excellent hydrothermal stability. The orientation of the mesopores was confirmed by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. More importantly, the b-axis-aligned mesoporous ZSM-5 shows much higher catalytic activities for bulky substrate conversion than conventional ZSM-5 and ZSM-5 with randomly oriented mesopores. The combination of good hydrothermal stability with high activities is important for design of novel zeolite catalysts. The b-axis-aligned mesoporous ZSM-5 reported here shows great potential for industrial applications.

Deposition of oriented zeolite A films: in situ and secondary growth

Zeolite A suspensions with a monomodal, narrow particle size distribution have been prepared. The suspended particles in a TMAOH water solution at pH 9 are negatively charged with a zeta potential of −43 mV. Modification of the external surface of the zeolite particles by a silylation reaction produces particles that, when they are suspended in water, are positively charged and have a zeta potential of +40 mV.The suspensions of the negatively or positively charged particles can be used for the preparation of adsorbed layers of particles on oppositely charged substrates by electrostatic attraction. This deposition process leads to a high coverage of the substrate with well-adhered particles. The cubic morphology of the zeolite particles results in preferential orientation after deposition. The particles are oriented with their {h 0 0} planes (cube faces) parallel and perpendicular to the substrate (out-of-plane orientation). The particles are randomly oriented with respect to the direction perpendicular to the substrate (in-plane orientation). Although, under optimized conditions, the coverage is high and only one adsorption cycle is necessary, the particles are not closely packed.Alternately, the zeolite particle suspensions can be used to deposit close-packed arrays of particles by convective particle transport during dip coating on substrates bearing the same charge as the zeolite particles. Using monodispersed zeolite A suspensions and slow speed dip coating close-packed hexagonal colloidal crystals were prepared. The type of colloidal crystal deposits formed range from continuous sublayers, monolayers, or multilayers to isolated discoidal clusters consisting of few zeolite particles. Factors affecting the deposited layer(s) structure are particle concentration of the suspension and withdrawal speed. In addition to close packing, the layers prepared by dip coating exhibit preferred orientation with the particle faces lying parallel and perpendicular to the substrate surface. Moreover, this second route of precursor film formation by colloidal crystallization leads to domains of well-aligned zeolite particles in three dimensions, i.e. with their faces parallel to each other. The oriented domains span the length of several particles; however, low angle boundaries and other defects during colloidal crystallization prevent the formation of macroscopically three-dimensionally ordered zeolite particles.The precursor layers were subjected to secondary growth in order to prepare continuous intergrown films. Secondary growth proceeds initially by local epitaxy on the deposited particles. Later in the process, deposition proceeds by incorporation of particles from solution along with re-nucleation on the growing film. The intergrown films have predominately [h 0 0] out-of-plane orientation; however, after extended secondary growth treatment a population of [h h h] grains appears on the surface of the regrown films.     

Graphene Oxide Facilitates Solvent‐Free Synthesis of Well‐Dispersed,Faceted Zeolite Crystals

Zeolites with molecular dimension pores are widely used in petrochemical and fine‐chemical industries. While traditional solvothermal syntheses suffer from environmental, safety, and efficiency issues, the newly developed solvent‐free synthesis is limited by zeolite crystal aggregation. Herein, we report well‐dispersed and faceted silicalite ZSM‐5 zeolite crystals obtained using a solvent‐free synthesis facilitated by graphene oxide (GO). The selective interactions between the GO sheets and different facets, which are confirmed by molecular dynamics simulations, result in oriented growth of the ZSM‐5 crystals along the c‐axis. More importantly, the incorporation of GO sheets into the ZSM‐5 crystals leads to the formation of mesopores. Consequently, the faceted ZSM‐5 crystals exhibit hierarchical pore structures. This synthetic method is superior to conventional approaches because of the features of the ZSM‐5 zeolite.

Critical Factors in the Seed‐Assisted Synthesis of Zeolite Beta and “Green Beta” from OSDA‐Free Na+–Aluminosilicate Gels

Organic structure‐directing agent (OSDA)‐free synthesis of zeolite beta is a subject of both scientific and industrial interest. Herein, we report a comprehensive investigation into the effects of various parameters on the seed‐assisted crystallization of zeolite beta in the absence of OSDA. The crystallization behavior of “OSDA‐free beta” is strongly governed by the chemical composition of the starting Na⁺‐aluminosilicate gel as well as by the Si/Al ratios of the calcined beta seed crystals, which are prepared using tetraethylammonium hydroxide (TEAOH). Furthermore, OSDA‐free beta seed crystals can be used to form zeolite beta, termed “green beta”. XRD, scanning electron microscopy, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy, and ²⁷Al magic angle spinning NMR analyses showed that the OSDA‐free beta and green beta were of high purity and crystallinity. The nitrogen adsorption–desorption of OSDA‐free beta and green beta revealed higher surface areas and larger volumes in the micropore region than those of the beta seeds synthesized with OSDA after calcination. These results provide a robust and reliable process for the environmentally friendly production of high‐quality zeolite beta in a completely OSDA‐free Na⁺‐aluminosilicate system.     

Seed‐Assisted,One‐Pot Synthesis of Hollow Zeolite Beta without Using Organic Structure‐Directing Agents

Hollow aluminosilicate zeolite beta was successfully synthesized by adding CIT‐6, that is, zincosilicate zeolite, which has the same topology as beta, as seeds to the Na‐aluminosilicate gel without the need for organic structure‐directing agents. One important factor in the successful organic structure‐directing agent (OSDA)‐free synthesis of hollow beta crystals is the solubility of the seed crystals in alkaline media. CIT‐6 was less stable than aluminosilicate zeolite beta in alkaline media and the solubility changed depending on whether the crystals were calcined or not. The hollow beta could be obtained by using the uncalcined CIT‐6 seed crystals. The volumes of intra‐crystalline voids were tuned by changing the reaction time and the initial gel compositions, such as the SiO₂/Al₂O₃ and Na₂O/SiO₂ ratios. We estimated that the intra‐crystalline voids were formed through the dissolution of the seed crystals, just after the crystal growth of new beta on the outer surface of the seeds. In addition, new crystal growth toward inside of the void was also observed by TEM. On the basis of the characterization data, such as chemical analysis, N₂‐adsorption/desorption measurements, and TEM observation, a formation mechanism of the intra‐crystalline voids is proposed and discussed.     

Synthesis of zeolite nanocrystals at room temperature

Zeolite A nanoparticles were synthesized under room-temperature conditions from a very reactive organic-template-free gel system. The optimization of the syntheses parameters, namely, the composition of the initial system and the careful choice of the reactants, allowed the crystallization to be accomplished within 3 days. At this stage the individual zeolite crystals were in the range of 100-300 nm without well-developed crystal faces. The prolongation of the synthesis time up to 10 days led to formation of larger well-faceted cubic crystals averaging about 400-500 nm in size. The high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) study revealed that a thin layer of amorphous material covers the zeolite particles acting as a binder between individual zeolite crystals. The postsynthesis treatment of the product in NH(3) media under ultrasonic radiation disintegrated the loosely attached zeolite particles and decreased the fraction of zeolite A particles with low colloidal stability. The employed approach, however, did not result in complete disintegration of aggregated crystals. The zeolite crystals obtained under ambient conditions were characterized by XRD, SEM, dynamic light scattering, and N(2) adsorption measurements.

Dual‐Mesoporous ZSM‐5 Zeolite with Highly b‐Axis‐Oriented Large Mesopore Channels for the Production of Benzoin Ethyl Ether

Dual‐mesoporous ZSM‐5 zeolite with highly b axis oriented large mesopores was synthesized by using nonionic copolymer F127 and cationic surfactant CTAB as co‐templates. The product contains two types of mesopores—smaller wormlike ones of 3.3 nm in size and highly oriented larger ones of 30–50 nm in diameter along the b axis—and both of them interpenetrate throughout the zeolite crystals and interconnect with zeolite microporosity. The dual‐mesoporous zeolite exhibits excellent catalytic performance in the condensation of benzaldehyde with ethanol and greater than 99 % selectivity for benzoin ethyl ether at room temperature, which can be ascribed to the zeolite lattice structure offering catalytically active sites and the hierarchical and oriented mesoporous structure providing fast access of reactants to these sites in the catalytic reaction. The excellent recyclability and high catalytic stability of the catalyst suggest prospective applications of such unique mesoporous zeolites in the chemical industry.     

Tailoring Zeolite ZSM‐5 Crystal Morphology/Porosity through Flexible Utilization of Silicalite‐1 Seeds as Templates: Unusual Crystallization Pathways in a Heterogeneous System

Diffusion limitation in micropores of zeolites leads to a demand for optimization of zeolite morphology and/or porosity. However, tailoring crystallization processes to realize targeted morphology/porosity is a major challenge in zeolite synthesis. On the basis of previous work on the salt‐aided, seed‐induced route, the template effect of seeds on the formation of micropores, mesopores and even macropores was further explored to selectively achieve desired hierarchical architectures. By carefully investigating the crystallization processes of two typical samples with distinct crystal morphologies, namely, 1) nanocrystallite‐oriented self‐assembled ZSM‐5 zeolite and 2) enriched intracrystal mesoporous ZSM‐5 zeolite, a detailed mechanism is proposed to clarify the role of silicalite‐1 seeds in the formation of diverse morphologies in a salt‐rich heterogeneous system, combined with the transformation of seed‐embedded aluminosilicate gel. On the basis of these conclusions, the morphologies/porosities of products were precisely tailored by deliberately adjusting the synthesis parameters (KF/Si, tetrapropylammonium bromide/Si and H₂O/Si ratios and type of organic template) to regulate the kinetics of seed dissolution and seed‐induced recrystallization. This work may not only provide a practical route to control zeolite crystallization for tailoring crystal morphology, but also expands the knowledge of crystal growth mechanisms in a heterogeneous system.     

Layer-by-layer assembly of zeolite crystals on glass with polyelectrolytes as ionic linkers

ZSM-5 crystals and glass plates tethered with trimethylpropylammonium iodide and sodium butyrate, respectively, (denoted as Z+, Z-, G+, and G-, respectively) were prepared. Treatment of G- with Z+ suspended in ethanol results in monolayer assembly of Z+ on G- (G-/Z+) with high surface coverage. The zeolite crystals have a strong tendency to closely pack and align with the b-axis normal to the glass plate, despite large positive zeta potentials. Subsequent treatment of G-/Z+ with Z- leads to second-layer assembly of Z- on G-/Z+ (G-/Z+/Z-), but with rather poor coverage. Sequential treatment of G+ with poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate)(Na+PSS-), poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA+Cl-), and Na+PSS- followed by Z+ yields glass plates assembled with monolayers of Z+ with very high surface coverage through the composite polyelectrolyte linkers (G+/PSS-/PDDA+/PSS-/Z+). The zeolite crystals also have a strong tendency to closely pack and align with the b-axis perpendicular to the substrate plane. The binding strength between the zeolite crystals and glass plates is much higher in G+/PSS-/PDDA+/PSS-/Z+ than in G-/Z+. Repetition of the sequential PSS-/PDDA+/PSS-/Z+ layering for five cycles yields glass plates assembled with pentalayers of ZSM-5 crystals [G+/(PSS-/PDDA+/PSS-/Z+)(5)]. The observed degrees of coverage and alignment of zeolite crystals in each layer were very high up to the third layers despite the nonuniformity of the sizes and shapes of the zeolite crystals used in this study. This report thus demonstrates the feasibility of layer-by-layer assembly of micrometer-sized zeolite crystals on glass through electrostatic interaction between surface-bound, full-fledged ionic centers, especially by use of polyelectrolyes as the linkers.     

Controlled growth for synthesizing a compact mordenite membrane

Controlling the growth of zeolite crystals on a porous alumina support is essential for preparing a compact zeolite membarne. First, mordenite seed crystals applied on a nonporous -alumina disk were grown and morphological change of mordenite crystals were observed in the course of growth. Then, mordenite membranes were synthesized on a porous -alumina tube under the same conditions employed in the study using the alumina disks. We found that seed crystal growth was widely controllable by changing water content in reaction solution, which resulted in better control of the morphology of mordenite crystals for synthesizing a thin compact mordenite membrane. Separation properties for mordenite membranes were studied in water–hydrogen binary system at 473 K with 10 kPa of water partial pressure, where no capillary condensation was expected in non-zeolitic pores. Separation factor for a mordenite membrane with a few defects was poor; however, a defect-free mordenite membrane prepared under a suitable condition highly separated steam from hydrogen.     

Hierarchical mesoporous zeolites: direct self-assembly synthesis in a conventional surfactant solution by kinetic control over the zeolite seed formation

By kinetic control over the zeolite seed formation, we report the direct fabrication of hierarchical mesoporous zeolites using hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) as the soft template in a conventional solution route. Nanometer-sized, subnanocrystal-type zeolite seeds with a high degree of polymerization are essential to prevent the formation of a separate amorphous mesoporous phase and the phase separation between the mesophase and zeolite crystals in the presence of CTAB and a certain amount of ethanol. The mechanisms for the formation of hierarchically porous zeolites in the solution process, including the effect of mother liquid aging, formation of subnanocrystal zeolite seeds and their self-assembly effect with CTAB, and the role of ethanol are proposed and discussed in detail. The prepared mesoporous ZSM-5 zeolite showed much higher catalytic activity than conventional counterparts for aldol condensations involving large molecules, especially in the synthesis of vesidryl.
