Experiments were conducted to evaluate the performance of the ZFT-Cu<sub>1</sub> composites (1, 3, and 5 wt% ZSM-5 loadings) for the adsorption and photocatalytic degradation of crystal violet under visible and solar light. Structural and optical characterizations were performed using UV–VIS DRS, FE-SEM, XRD, FTIR, and BET surface area analysis. The results demonstrated enhanced crystallinity, decreased agglomeration, and improved visible-light absorption due to incorporation of ZSM-5 zeolite into the FT-Cu<sub>1</sub> composite. Among the modified composites, the 3ZFT-Cu<sub>1</sub> composite (3 wt% ZSM-5 loading) showed the highest photocatalytic activity, achieving 98 % removal of CV dye (Q<sub>e</sub> = 27 mg/g) under visible light and 95 % removal (Q<sub>e</sub> = 20.24 mg/g) under solar light at catalyst dose of 5 mg, dye concentration of 5 mg/L, contact time of 180 min, and pH 9. The adsorption data were well-fitted to Freundlich isotherms confirming multilayer coverage, and the kinetics adhered to a pseudo-first-order model. The enhanced efficiency is attributed to the synergistic effects of Cu doping, porous ZSM-5, and fly ash support, which improved light absorption and dye adsorption. Furthermore, 3ZFT-Cu<sub>1</sub> retained 84 % degradation efficiency after five cycles, confirming good stability and reusability. The photodecomposition pathway of CV dye was identified through free radical trapping using hole scavengers, confirming its visible-light-active potential for dye-based wastewater treatment.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":392,"journal":{"name":"Microporous and Mesoporous Materials","volume":"400 ","pages":"Article 113892"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145263921","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we develop a seed-assisted, solvent-free synthesis strategy that precisely controls nucleation to produce nanosized ZSM-5 with hierarchical porosity and tunable acidity. Introducing 5–20 wt% of preformed seeds significantly accelerates nucleation, reduces crystal size from 15 μm to submicron scale of 0.4 μm, and enhances both crystallinity and mesoporosity while preserving phase purity. Among these, the 10 wt% seeded sample (ZA-10) achieves the optimal balance between crystal refinement and textural improvement. Systematic aluminum tuning at a Si/Al ratio of 30 further optimizes acid site distribution and pore structure, yielding a catalyst with the highest density of weak acid sites and largest mesopore volume. Consequently, ZA-10 demonstrates outstanding catalytic stability, maintaining over 90 % methanol conversion for 94 h and delivering 32.6 % propylene selectivity. In contrast, unseeded catalysts rapidly deactivate due to their larger crystal size and limited porosity. These findings confirm that integrating seed-assisted nucleation with controlled aluminum incorporation effectively overcomes key limitations of solvent-free ZSM-5 synthesis, providing a eco-friendly pathway toward high-performance MTO catalysts.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":392,"journal":{"name":"Microporous and Mesoporous Materials","volume":"400 ","pages":"Article 113881"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145219319","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
