Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Zeolites are crystalline microporous aluminosilicates. Owing to their unique properties such as high surface area, hydrothermal stability, and solid acidity, they have been widely used as catalysts, adsorbents, and ion-exchangers. The locations of heteroatoms such as Al and Zn in the framework structures of zeolites are one of the fundamental descriptors determining the physicochemical properties of zeolites. With the aid of computational calculations, in this research, zeolites with controlled locations of Al were synthesized by using designed organic-structure directing agents to engineer the crystallization pathway of zeolite formation. In addition to aluminosilicates, a new zincosilicate zeolite was successfully synthesized.
