This research aims to enhance the production of BTX (benzene, toluene, xylene) by improving the structure of ZSM-5 catalysts.
Synthesized hierarchical ZSM-5 catalysts using a one-pot method.
Employed water-soluble polymer templates for template formation.
Ensured high crystallinity and uniform mesoporosity in the catalysts.
Hierarchical ZSM-5 catalysts showed enhanced performance in the methanol-to-aromatics reaction.
Improved mesoporosity contributed to more effective catalytic activity.
Abstract
Hierarchical ZSM-5 catalysts were synthesized via a one-pot, eco-friendly method using water-soluble polymer templates with high crystallinity and uniform mesoporosity in the MTA reaction.
