Additive-free synthesis of house-of-card faujasite zeolite by utilizing aluminosilicate gel memory

Abstract

The gel “memory” effect of aluminosilicate sols was used to tune the mesopore size of hierarchical house-of-card faujasite in the absence of additives, following earlier findings by Khaleel et al. demonstrating the use of pre- and post-nucleation trajectories for the synthesis of high FAU content faujasite nanocrystals.
