Abstract

The seed layer oriented in b-&h0h-axes was covered on the porous α-Al2O3 substrate using a spin coater. In the absence of organic templates, the morphology and orientation of the zeolite film over the seed layer could be regulated by changing the ratios of OH -/Si and H2O/Si, and the reaction temperature. As far as the synthesis system of 1SiO2 =4EtOH:xNaOH:yH2O is concerned, the SEM and XRD measurements revealed that the morphology and orientation of zeolite films were closely related to the values of both x and y. When x=0.56, the orientation of the zeolite film would be changed from random to b-axis by increasing y, which was accompanied by substantial morphology change. When y=270, the continuous and preferentially b-oriented MFI zeolite film of ca. 4 μm thick could be obtained.
