Oriented MFI Membranes by Gel-Less Secondary Growth of Sub-100 nm MFI-Nanosheet Seed Layers

A zeolite membrane fabrication process combining 2D‐zeolite nanosheet seeding and gel‐free secondary growth is described. This process produces selective molecular sieve films that are as thin as 100 nm and exhibit record high permeances for xylene‐ and butane‐isomers.
