A facile and economical route to synthesize nano-sized ZSM-5 zeolite aggregates with mesopores was developed by a modified seed-induced method using silicate-1 (S-1) as seeds without additional templates in the presence of a trace amount of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). The effect of the amounts of CTAB and S-1 on the morphologies and textural properties were studied in detail, and the possible formation mechanism was proposed. The primary crystal sizes of the ZSM-5 zeolites could be adjusted and mesopores were generated in a certain range. The resulting ZSM-5 zeolites showed a uniformly conglobate morphology with particle sizes of 400-600 nm, aggregated with 20-50 nm crystallites, possessing a large external surface area and abundant inter-crystallite mesopores under the optimum synthesis conditions (CTAB to total SiO2 molar ratio was 0.02 and SiO2 in S-1 gel took up 8% to the total SiO2). The catalytic performance of nano-sized ZSM-5 zeolites in methanol to propylene reaction showed a high stability and high propylene selectivity.
