Synthesis of Macroporous Materials with Zeolitic Microporous Frameworks by Self-Assembly of Colloidal Zeolites

Abstract
This study reports a novel and flexible technique to synthesize bimodal porous materials with ordered macropores whose walls are composed of microporous zeolites by self-assembly of nanocrystals of silicalite-1 and ZSM-5. The materials prepared by this novel technique are well crystalline and possess uniform macropores interconnected in three dimensions through windows.
