Ultrathin nanosheets of aluminosilicate FER zeolites synthesized in the presence of a sole small organic ammonium†
Abstract
Ultrathin nanosheets (6–8 nm) of aluminosilicate FER zeolites have been successfully synthesized using a sole small organic ammonium (N,N-diethyl-cis-2,6-dimethyl piperidinium, DMP). Catalytic tests on the skeletal isomerization of 1-butene to isobutene show that the FER nanosheets exhibit much higher conversion and selectivity than conventional FER zeolites.
