Abstract

Olefin oligomerization is a crucial process in the production of fuel and chemicals. Here, we demonstrate that, in ZSM-22 zeolite, paired aluminum sites are more effective than isolated aluminum sites for ethylene oligomerization, leading to higher conversion and the formation of heavier oligomers. This highlights the importance of modulating aluminum organization in zeolites for catalysis.
