Abstract
- Abstract: In this study, one‐pot hydrothermal synthesis of sheet‐like ZSM‐5 as a high‐performance catalyst for toluene disproportionation was carried out using binary surfactants. In the dual template, tetraethylammonium hydroxide was used to construct the microporous structure of ZSM‐5, and cationic surfactant (e.g., octadecyltrimethylammonium chloride (C18TMAC), hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (C16TMAB), and tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide, (C14TMAB)) can change the growth habits of the ZSM‐5 crystals by hindering the regular stacking of zeolite layers from their longer hydrophobic chain. From the XRD pattern of the as‐synthesized samples which were hydrothermally treated for different time, it was found that a lamellar mesostructured intermediate gradually transformed into the sheet‐like ZSM‐5 during hydrothermal process. With a proper amount of cationic surfactant, the thickness of the sheet‐like ZSM‐5 could be controlled to less than 30 nm. Concerning the catalyst application, the toluene disproportionation performance over the sheet‐like ZSM‐5 is 1.5 times higher than that of the commercial ZSM‐5. The higher conversion is ascribed to the faster diffusion amount due to the sheet‐like ZSM‐5. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
