A comparative synthesis of ZSM-5 with ethanol or TPABr template: distinction of Brønsted/Lewis acidity ratio and its impact on <i>n</i>-hexane cracking

Abstract

ZSM-5 by EtOH, possessing an ultra-high Brønsted/Lewis acidity ratio, has a long lifetime and suppresses coke deposit during <italic>n</italic>-hexane cracking.
