Atomic resolution analysis of porous solids: A detailed study of silver ion-exchanged zeolite A

► Silver has been ion exchanged in zeolite A and the structure has been analyzed. ► Aberration corrected STEM has been successfully applied for beam sensitive zeolites. ► An Octahedron (six atoms) surrounded by eight silver cations has been observed. ► Zeolitic atomic imaging has been obtained on ZSM-5 zeolite.
