Abstract

Correction for ‘Synthesis of nanostructured catalysts by surfactant-templating of large-pore zeolites’ by Aqeel Al-Ani et al., Nanoscale Adv., 2019, 1, 2029–2039.


The following amendments have been suggested:

Introduction

The surfactant-templated mesostructuring approach, introduced in ref. 21 and 25, allows for a more precise control of the intracrystalline mesoporosity introduced while retaining the main properties of the zeolites, including their microporosity, catalytic activity, and hydrothermal stability. For these reasons, surfactant-templated zeolites have been successfully commercialised.22,36

Experimental section

The preparation of mesostructured faujasites followed the general procedure introduced in ref. 25.

Results and discussion

In agreement with previous reports,18,25,44 our results demonstrate that TIPB conversion increases for all zeolites following their mesostructuring treatment.
