- Zeolite morphology significantly influences catalytic performance, but controlling this shape through crystal growth has posed challenges.
- Researchers explored the impact of eight different additives on the anisotropic growth of ZSM-5 zeolite, revealing that each additive either inhibits or promotes growth based on crystallization kinetics.
- Techniques like TIRFM and TXM confirmed how these additives preferentially adsorb on different surfaces, and the energy differences in adsorption helped predict the resulting zeolite shapes, allowing for the synthesis of various morphologies like sphere-like, plate-like, and noodle-like structures.
