IR Microimaging of Direction‐Dependent Uptake in MFI‐Type Crystals

Abstract: Covering MFI-type zeolite crystals with Al 2 O 3 by atomic layer deposition is shown to make the external zeolite crystal impermeable for guest molecules. By corresponding manipulations of the crystal certain faces can be opened for guest molecules. In this way, IR microimaging can be applied to record the evolution of transient intracrystalline concentration profiles along the crystals longitudinal extension. The introduced method of covering may provide the possibility of observing fluxes of reactant and pro… Show more

“…This, how-ever, does not mean any limitation in significance if mass transfer may be implied to occur in only the plane perpendicular to the observation direction. This may be easily ensured with 1d and 2d pore spaces and may quite generally be cared for by an appropriate (partial) sealing of the particle/crystal under study [31,32]. Bottom right shows a typical example of the transient concentration profiles (in this case obtained during molecular uptake) as attainable by either technique.…”

“…Summing up, the techniques of microimaging are seen to nicely complement each other, with the option of monitoring simultaneously different molecular species by IRM and with the notably higher spatial resolution (up to 0.5 𝜇𝜇m) of IFM. The fact that both techniques record the concentration integral ∫ 𝑐𝑐(𝑔𝑔, 𝑦𝑦, 𝑧𝑧)𝑑𝑑𝑧𝑧 𝐿𝐿 0 in observation direction (with L denoting the crystal thickness) rather than the local concentration 𝑐𝑐(𝑔𝑔, 𝑦𝑦, 𝑧𝑧) does not mean any restriction, if one is interested in materials with pore systems allowing mass transfer in only one or two dimensions (extending perpendicular to observation direction) [72][73][74] or if the upper and lower faces of the crystal/particle under study are sealed [71,75,76].…”

“…Hwang et al. covered MFI‐type zeolite crystals by Al‐ALD with a growth rate of 1.33–1.46 Å cycle −1 to make the external zeolite crystal impermeable for guest molecules [110] . The coverage of external surface allowed the propagation of guest molecules along the longitudinal extension of the MFI‐type zeolite, which may provide the possibility for the fluxes of reactant and product molecules within single zeolite crystals during catalytic reactions.…”
