The gel transformations and subsequent crystallization that occur in the precursor reaction mixture of silicalite were investigated using simultaneous small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS–WAXS). The SAXS–WAXS measurements, together with the use of a high flux of synchrotron radiation and a newly developed high-pressure reaction cell, provide the possibility of in situ hydrothermal and time-resolved monitoring of amorphous gel transformations and crystallization.
