Resolving atomic SAPO-34/18 intergrowth architectures for methanol conversion by identifying light atoms and bonds

Abstract

The micro-structures of zeolite catalysts affect their macroarchitectures and catalytic performances. Here, the different SAPO-34/18 intergrowth catalysts are atomically resolved, and the correlation between synthesis conditions and zeolite structures is revealed to further enhance their performances in methanol conversion.
