Hydrothermal synthesis and catalytic performance of bulky titanium silicalite-1 aggregates assembled by bridged organosilane

As-synthesized zeolitic seeds/nanocrystallites were assembled to nanocrystal aggregates by bridged organosilanes under hydrothermal conditions, where the bridged organosilane covered the surface of the seeds/crystallites with two condensable heads. These TS-1 zeolite aggregates possessed both the properties of the conventional nanoparticle of TS-1 zeolites and variable surface features, which enhanced the catalytic properties of hydroperoxides for alkene epoxidation.
