Synthesis of hierarchical TS-1 zeolite via a novel three-step crystallization method and its excellent catalytic performance in oxidative desulfurization

Hierarchical TS-1 (HTS-1) zeolite has been successfully synthesized through a novel three-step crystallization method by using a cheap and eco-friendly polymer PVA as the mesopore template. The HTS-1 particles possess an interesting stacking structure and are constructed of smaller crystals with an average diameter of 30 nm. The mesopores of HTS-1 are formed by the stacking of the smaller TS-1 nanocrystals. The catalytic results show that the...
