Abstract

Abstract : Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy is for the first time demonstrated as a viable tool for in situ monitoring of early zeolite formation. Abstract : Hitherto zeolite formation has not been fully understood. Although electrochemical impedance spectroscopy has proven to be a versatile tool for characterizing ionic solutions, it was never used for monitoring zeolite growth. We show here that EIS can quantitatively monitor zeolite formation, especially during crucial early steps where other methods fall short.
