Colloidal zeolites NaA (LTA structure type) and ZSM-5 (MFI-type) with crystal diameters of about 100 nm were synthesized as building blocks for the formation of microporous self-limiting monolayers on the piezo-active area (gold electrodes) of a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM). Two different coupling strategies were explored, concerning the modification of either the gold substrate or the external zeolite crystal surface with a bifunctional molecular interface. Diverse analytical methods were employed to fully characterize the materials (dynamic light scattering, X-ray diffraction, infrared and Raman spectroscopy, solid state 29Si NMR spectroscopy, N2 sorption) and to study the process of coupling the zeolite crystals to the gold surface (reflection-absorption IR spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy). The molecularly selective sensing behavior of these zeolite-coated devices is demonstrated by measuring the full adsorption isotherms of n-butane and i-butane in the microporous films.

Zeolites with a few unit cells are promising as catalyst and adsorbents. The quest to synthesize the smallest zeolites has recently resulted in 4 to 8 nm nanozeolites, about 2 to 4 unit cells. These findings pose the question of what is the smallest zeolite that could be obtained by hydrothermal synthesis.

Hierarchically porous zeolites combining the advantages of desirable mass transport of nanozeolites and easy separation and handling of micro-zeolites are ideal candidates in catalytic applications. Facile routes for the assembly of zeolite microparticles with hierarchical porosity and high mechanical strength are much expected. Herein, based on a microfluidic jet spray drying technology, we report a facile and scalable chemical crosslinking assembly strategy for the synthesis of hierarchical zeolite microparticles by directly using the conventional as-synthesized nanozeolite suspension as a precursor.

Hierarchical mesoporous zeolite Beta microspheres (Beta-MPs) from assembly of nanocrystals were successfully one-step-synthesized through a simple polymer agent. The Beta-MPs sample was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), nitrogen adsorption isotherms, and thermogravimetric analysis. The characteristics of the samples are comparable with conventional Beta zeolite.

An enzyme-immobilized nanozeolite-assembled electrode was prepared by controlled assembly of nanometer-sized Linder type-L zeolite (nano-LTL-zeolite) on an indium tin oxide (ITO) glass electrode surface, and subsequent immobilization of cytochrome c. Cyclic voltammetric (CV) and amperometric experiments showed that, relative to other reported electrodes, the enzyme-immobilized electrodes possess fast electron-transfer rates (2.2 s(-1)), a broad linear range (15-540 micromol L(-1)), a low detection limit (3.
