Abstract

For more than four decades, the design of zeolite base catalysts has relied on the application of aluminium-rich frameworks exchanged with alkali metal cations (preferably Cs+). However, moderate activity associated with access and diffusion limitations, and high manufacturing costs associated with high caesium content (typically over 30%) have hampered their industrial implementation so far. Herein, we have discovered that high- ...
