Under the aid of TPAOH molecules trapped in the dried silicalite nanocrystals, the silicalite nanocrystals undergo the structure transformation into dispersible hydroxy-sodalite nanocrystals without substantial change in the morphologies. The average crystal size of the resulting hydroxy-sodalite nanocrystals (e.g., 60 nm) is somewhat smaller than that of their starting silicalite nanocrystals (e.g., 80 nm). Our studies show that those trapped TPAOH molecules serve as a temporary barrier and effectively confine the zeolite transformation. Elemental analysis indicates that no TPAOH molecules were enclosed in the hydroxy-sodalite nanocrystals. The approach presented here provides a new insight into understanding zeolite crystallization and transformation, and represents a facile way to the synthesis of sodalite nanocrystals |  | View paper | | ISBN: | 0-9767985-6-5 |
