Ultra fast and efficient synthesis of Ti-ITQ-7 and positive catalytic implications

Abstract

Incorporation of germanium into a zeolite framework allows the synthesis of Ti-Ge-ITQ-7 without seeding in <12 h, instead of 12 days when seeding or >40 days without seeding for the Ge-free ITQ-7; the synthesis reported also increases the efficiency of Ti incorporation and allows the preparation of almost nanocrystaline Ti-ITQ-7 materials with a corresponding beneficial effect on the final catalytic activity.
