Self-seeded growth of very large open-structured zeolite nanosheet assemblies with extraordinary micropore accessibility
Abstract
Zeolite nanosheets (ZNs) offer improved micropore accessibilities and transport properties for enhanced molecular catalysis and separations. However, practical application of the ZN materials is hampered by the lack of efficient synthesis methods. Here, in this work, a ZN self-seeded method is demonstrated for single-step reproduction of flower-like assemblies of very large MFI ZN plates. The ZN plates are ~60 nm-thick stacks of 4-nm-thick single-crystal sheets. The ZN flower growth involves terrace nucleation on the seed surfaces and subsequent ZN epitaxial growth in [010] orientation directed by a diquaternary agent. The open architecture of the assemblies prevented collapse and agglomeration of ZNs during thermal activation that effectively preserved the interconnected intra-sheet and inter-sheet micropore system. Thus, the ZN assemblies exhibited markedly enhanced molecular adsorption capacity and transport diffusivity for the probing xylene molecules as compared to the conventional crystals. The ZN assembly and its harvestable very large-sized ZNs have the potential for developing high-performance ZN adsorbents, catalysts, and molecular-sieve membranes.
