Hydrothermal Synthesis of Aluminosilicate Zeolite Nanomaterials

In this investigation, sodium included aluminosilicate zeolite was synthesized through a facile synthesizing method. To synthesize this material, tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) and aluminum-isopropoxide were used as the source of silicon and aluminum, respectively. Also, for characterizing crystal structures, microstructure and chemical bonds, xray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) were employed.
