Synthesis of Nanometer-sized ZSM-5 Zeolite and Tts Use as Seeds for ZSM-5 Zeolite Membrane Preparation

Nanometer-sized zeolite has been paid extensive attention, due to distinct advantages comparing with its commercially available micrometer-sized counterpart^[1]. Moreover, it is most possibly to prepare a defect-free zeolite membrane, which emerges as one of hotspots in zeolite field, when nanometer-sized zeolite is involved in^[2,3]. In the present work, we would both deal with the synthesis of nanometer-sized ZSM-5 and its using as seeds in the preparation of compact ZSM-5 membrane.
