Abstract
With the aid of tetrapropylammonium hydroxide molecules trapped in the silicalite nanocrystals, the silicalite undergoes the structural transformation into dispersible hydroxy-sodalite nanocrystals without substantial change in morphology and size. This approach provides a new insight into zeolite crystallization and transformation and represents a facile method for synthesis of sodalite nanocrystals.
