Abstract
A two-section temperature strategy was employed to achieve micromesoporous composites with five kinds of long-chain alkyl quaternary ammonium salts as single template. Zeolites with an ordered two-dimensional hexagonal mesopore and crystallized MFI domain were successfully obtained. Gemini quaternary ammonium salt surfactants C18N2 and C22N2 are effective in directing the structure of MCM-41 than CTAB at 100 °C and will transform to lamellar MFI structures at 150 °C gradually. While single quaternary ammonium salts C18N and C22N direct lamellar M41s at 100 °C and transform to mesoporous structure at a higher temperature of 150 °C, it is possible to get a composite of microporous and mesoporous material with a surface area as high as 1046 m2 g–1. Catalytic performance of typical hierarchical zeolites was evaluated by Claisen-Schmidt condensation of bulky reactants. The excellent conversion suggested the synergy effects of improved large molecule diffusion in mesopores and highly separated MFI domains as ca...
