Abstract

Two-dimensional zeolite nanosheets that do not contain any organic structure-directing agents were prepared from a multilamellar MFI (ML-MFI) zeolite. ML-MFI was first exfoliated by melt compounding and then detemplated by treatment with a mixture of H₂SO₄and H₂O₂(piranha solution). The obtained OSDA-free MFI nanosheets disperse well in water and can be used for coating applications. Deposits made on porous polybenzimidazole (PBI) supports by simple filtration of these suspensions exhibit an n-butane/isobutane selectivity of 5.4, with an n-butane permeance of 3.5×10⁻⁷mol m⁻²s⁻¹Pa⁻¹(ca. 1000 GPU).
