“…Moreover, it is also unclear whether more exotic and expensive templates, such as silylated surfactants, are a necessity to achieve "true" hierarchical mesoporous zeolites. [6] In this report, we discuss the results of investigating the zeolitic growth and the formation of the mesoporous structure by applying a one-pot templating synthesis, based on a TS-1 zeolite recipe, [7] using a micro-and a mesotemplate (TPAOH and CTMABr, respectively). All materials were thoroughly characterised by a wide range of techniques, namely N 2 sorption, thermogravimetric analysis, FTIR and UV/Vis (DR) spectroscopy, XRD, elemental analysis and TEM.…”
