REGULARLY STACKED MULTILAMELLAR AND RANDOMLY ALIGNED UNILAMELLAR ZEOLITE NANOSHEETS, AND THEIR ANALOGUE MATERIALS WHOSE FRAMEWORK THICKNESS WERE CORRESPONDING TO ONE UNIT CELL SIZE OR LESS THAN 10 UNIT CELL SIZE

摘要

The present invention relates to microporous molecular sieve materials and their analogue molecular sieve materials having a crystalline unilamellar or multilamellar framework with a single unit cell thickness in which layers are aligned regularly or randomly, the molecular sieve materials being synthesized by adding an organic surfactant to the synthesis composition of zeolite. In addition, the present invention relates to micro-mesoporous molecular sieve materials activated or functionalized by dealumination, ion exchange or other post treatments, and the use thereof as catalyst. These novel materials have dramatically increased external surface area by virtue of their framework with nano-scale thickness, and thus exhibit improved molecular diffusion, and thus have much higher activities as catalyst and ion exchange resin than conventional zeolites. In particular, the materials of the present invention exhibit high reactivity and dramatically increased catalyst life in various organic reactions such as carbon-carbon coupling, alkylation, acylation, etc. of organic molecules.
