A Structural Resolution Cryo-TEM Study of the Early Stages of MFI Growth

Room-temperature aging of zeolite precursor silica sol was followed by SAXS and cryo-TEM. Cryo-TEM imaging of zeolite materials with structural resolution is demonstrated. The results suggest the formation of predominantly amorphous aggregates before MFI crystallization.
