Abstract
Plate-like ZSM-5 zeolites offering a short diffusion pathway along the b-axis are highly desirable catalyst for methanol to propylene (MTP) reaction. Herein, we successfully developed a simple synthetic strategy toward reducing the thickness along b-axis of ZSM-5 zeolite by combing a preliminary aging process and the addition of γ-aminobutyric acid. In particular, γ-aminobutyric acid adopted as a zeolite growth modifier was firstly proposed to prepare plate-like ZSM-5 zeolite with a short thickness of b-axis, and the minimum thickness can reach ∼50 nm. The shortened diffusion length in plate-like ZSM-5 zeolites could significantly improve the transport efficiency of molecules to and away from the active sites and finally leads to a better catalytic performance in the MTP reaction. Particularly, the plate-like ZSM-5 zeolite with an impressively shortened diffusion length (P-ZSM-5–0.3#0.3) displayed greatly improved catalytic performances (higher propylene selectivity and longer lifetime) than conventional ZSM-5 with a thicker dimension along the b-axis.
期刊介绍:
Applied Catalysis A: General publishes original papers on all aspects of catalysis of basic and practical interest to chemical scientists in both industrial and academic fields, with an emphasis onnew understanding of catalysts and catalytic reactions, new catalytic materials, new techniques, and new processes, especially those that have potential practical implications.
Papers that report results of a thorough study or optimization of systems or processes that are well understood, widely studied, or minor variations of known ones are discouraged. Authors should include statements in a separate section "Justification for Publication" of how the manuscript fits the scope of the journal in the cover letter to the editors. Submissions without such justification will be rejected without review.
