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, x-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) were employed.
