“…Another approach is to post-treatment the final TS-1 with organic alkalis. 106 , 207 , 246 , 247 , 248 , 249 , 250 , 251 Alkalis dissolve the zeolite and remove the Si matrix from the framework, resulting in the formation of micro- and mesoporous composite layers. Recently, TPAOH has been applied as a hot spot etchant to create hierarchical TS-1 zeolites by desilication.…”
