Ionothermal Synthesis of Aluminophosphate Molecular Sieve Membranes through Substrate Surface Conversion

Abstract

A dual role as a support and a source of Al is played by the alumina substrate in an ionothermal method for ambient-pressure synthesis of aluminophosphate molecular sieve membranes through substrate-surface conversion (see picture; IL: ionic liquid, SDA: structure-directing agent). Aluminophosphate membranes with CHA, AEL, AFI, and LTA structure types could be obtained. Detailed facts of importance to specialist readers are published as ”Supporting Information”.
