ZSM-23 zeolite with a reduced a-axis was synthesized using TPPS and applied in n-hexane cracking, leading to higher ethene yield. The attachment of TPPS hindered the elongation growth of ZSM-23 crystals and promoted their diffusivity. The obtained short a-axis ZSM-23 showed excellent catalytic performances in n-hexane cracking, with better activity and stability compared to traditional ZSM-23.
ZSM-23 zeolite with a reduced a-axis is synthesized using trimethoxy[3-(phenylamino)propyl]silane (TPPS) and applied in n-hexane cracking. Once nuclei are formed, TPPS primarily attaches to the ends of rod-like ZSM-23 crystals, effectively hindering elongation growth and significantly promoting the diffusivity of ZSM-23 zeolite. The carbonium pathway is favored over the carbenium pathway in n-hexane cracking when reduced a-axis ZSM23 is applied, leading to higher ethene yield instead of propene. The fast diffusion also shifts deactivation from an inside-out process to an outside-in one due to the different precursors for carbon deposition. The obtained short a-axis ZSM-23 exhibits excellent catalytic performances in n-hexane cracking, displaying better activity (98.4% vs. 86.4%) and greater stability (2400 min vs. 120 min) than traditional ZSM-23. These findings deepen the understanding of organosilane's role in unidimensional zeolite synthesis and unveil the structure-performance relationship and deactivation mechanism in n-hexane cracking.
