ZSM-5 monolith of uniform mesoporous channels.
A ZSM-5 monolith of uniform mesopores(meso-ZSM-5) was synthesized with the template method using carbon aerogel of uniform mesopores of great pore volume. The pore size distribution determined by N2 adsorption showed the presence of mesopores with an average pore width of 11 nm and micropores with an average pore width of 0.51 nm. Field emission scanning electron micrograph observation revealed the presence of uniform mesopores. X-ray diffraction and FT-IR provided evidence that the synthesized meso-ZSM-5 monolith has a highly crystalline ZSM-5 structure.
