The Front Cover shows a symbolic rocket. main structure of the rocket represents ZSM-5 zeolite, and boosters represent added Ga Cr species, respectively. This picture means that propane is rapidly converted into propene hydrogen on modified then BTX aromatics. In their Full Paper, B. Xu et al. introduced to Ga/ZSM-5 catalyst by tuning impregnation sequence amount. Plenty Cr3+ species strong int...

Formic acid oxidation reaction (FAOR) was studied using different platinum-zeolites hybrid catalysts. The catalysts were prepared by addition of two forms the ZSM-5 zeolite (ZSM-5-H+ and ZSM-5-NH4+) to an ink containing Vulcan carbon support Pt nanoparticles (NPs). TEM images demonstrate a proper mixture components in good dispersion NPs mainly over carbon. Both zeolites (ZSM-5-NH4+ ZSM-5-H+) a...

Mesoporous ZSM-5 prepared by alkaline treatment was demonstrated as an efficient catalyst for the cellulose hydrolysis in ionic liquid (IL), affording a high yield of reducing sugar. It was demonstrated that mesoporous ZSM-5 (SiO₂/Al₂O₃ = 38) had 76.2% cellulose conversion and 49.6% yield of total reducing sugar (TRS). In comparison, the conventional ZSM-5 had a mere 41.3% cellulose conversion ...

Large-scale density functional theory calculations (DFT) found various types of binding of an unsaturated hydrocarbon (C2H2 and C2H4) to a ZSM-5 zeolite extraframework copper cation. We employed the DFT calculations based on the B3LYP functional to obtain local minima of an unsaturated hydrocarbon adsorbed on one or two copper cations embedded inside ZSM-5, and then compared their stabilization...

We report the one-step synthesis of a highly active hierarchical Fe/ZSM-5 zeolite catalyst with a strongly improved lifetime in the selective hydroxylation of benzene to phenol with nitrous oxide; compared to the best Fe/ZSM-5 catalyst, the turnover number after 24 h on stream is almost four times higher.

The synthesis of the ZSM-5 and beta zeolites in their nanosized form has been achieved by using simple alkyl-substituted mono-cationic cyclic ammonium cations as OSDA molecules. The particular combination of a cyclic fragment and a short linear alkyl-chain group (preferentially C4) within the monocationic OSDA molecules allows directing the crystallization of nanosized zeolites with excellent s...

A new kind of organosilane (1,6-bis (diethyl(3-trimethoxysilylpropyl)ammonium) hexane bromide) with a geminitype structure was prepared and used as a mesoporogen for the synthesis of hierarchical porous ZSM-5 zeolite. There are two quaternary ammonium centers along with double hydrolysable -RSi(OMe)3 fragments in the organosilane, which results in a strong interaction between this mesoporogen a...
