Abstract:Water is a ubiquitous component in heterogeneous catalysis over zeolites and can significantly influence the catalyst performance. However, the detailed mechanism insights into zeolite‐catalyzed reactions under microscale aqueous environment remain elusive. Here, using multiple dimensional solid‐state NMR experiments coupled with ultrahigh magic angle spinning technique and theoretical simulations, we establish a fundamental understanding of the role of water in benzene methylation over ZSM‐5 zeolite under wat… Show more
