Abstract
Publisher Summary Mesoporous zeolite crystals exhibit promising properties in catalytic processes. This chapter discusses mesoporous zeolites. It also describes how mesoporous ZSM-5 crystals can be synthesized by a variation of the confined space synthesis method and how the synthesis conditions influence the morphology of the zeolites. The advantages of mesoporous zeolite crystals as heterogeneous catalysts are presented. High nucleation rates favor the formation of nanosized zeolites, whereas low nucleation rates favor the formation of mesoporous zeolites. The structure and morphology of the mesoporous zeolite crystals are illustrated by transmission and scanning electron microscopy. Mesoporous zeolites have high mesopore volumes and high mesopore surface areas.
