We successfully designed Zn ion doped ZSM-5/silicalite-1 core-shell zeolite catalyst. On methanol to para-xylene (MTpX) over the core-shell catalyst, p-xylene yield was 40.7 C-mol% and para-selectivity (para-xylene selectivity in xylene isomers) was higher than 99 C-mol%, which substantially exceeds the other results reported in the literature.

Fe-MFI nanocrystals were synthesized by a dry gel conversion method and showed superior catalytic performance in methanol to olefin reactions.

Over 65% yield of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural from glucose was obtained under mild condition by using ZSM-5/HT composite as acid/base bifunctional catalyst.
