Characterization of acid sites in pentasil zeolites by x-ray photolectron spectroscopy

Journal Article · · Journal of Catalysis; (USA)
The N{sub 1s} XPS band of pyridine chemisorbed on Al-ZSM-5 zeolite was found to be properly deconvoluted into three component peaks. In a previous contribution these three components were assigned to pyridine chemisorbed on two kinds of Bronsted acid sites and one Lewis acid site. This analysis is extended here to Fe-ZSM-5 and B-ZSM-5. Isomorphous substitution of Fe for Si or Al in the zeolite framework leads to a slight decrease in the binding energy of the N{sub 1s} Lewis component. In the case of B substitution a decrease in the binding energy of all three N{sub 1s} components is observed.
