As the conversion of methanol to olefins (MTO) over a zeolite catalyst is conducted on acid sites derived from framework aluminum (AlF), it possible enhance catalytic performance by altering siting AlF if one knows behavior specified located at certain sites. In this work, two series H-ZSM-5 zeolites, viz., S-HZ-m and T-HZ-m, were synthesized with silica sol tetraethyl orthosilicate, respectively, as silicon source. Both zeolites exhibit similar acidity, morphology, textual properties....

ZSM-5 and ZSM-11 zeolites are similar in their crystalline framework structure, acidity, morphology, textual properties but considerably different catalytic performance for conversion of methanol to olefins (MTO). Such an unexpected exciting finding was extensively explored by various techniques density functional theory calculations. A detailed investigation shows that it is the Al distribution causes significant difference MTO performance. In ZSM-5, atoms enriched intersection, whereas...

Propane dehydrogenation (PDH) reaction has emerged as one of the most promising propylene production routes due to its high selectivity for and good economic benefits. However, commercial PDH processes usually rely on expensive platinum-based poisonous chromium oxide based catalysts. The exploration cost-effective ecofriendly catalysts with excellent catalytic activity, selectivity, stability is great significance yet remains challenging. Here, we discovered a new active center, i.e., an...
