Hydrophobic MFI‐Type Zeolites via Alkali‐Cation‐Induced Defect Healing: Implications for Adsorbent and Catalyst Design

ABSTRACT Here, we demonstrate that sub‐stoichiometric amounts of alkali cations (Na + and K + ) critically govern defect formation during the synthesis of Silicalite‐1 (MFI), enabling precise control over framework integrity and surface properties after calcination. Combining sys...
