Zeolites • Inorganic, crystalline,aluminosilicate materials • Chemically and thermally stable • Industry: Excellent catalysts, molecular sieves, ion-exchangers, water softeners • 170 different types, about 17 of them commercial interest ICMMM2011 , 8-10 Dec 2011, Zhengzhou, China http://www.icmmm.net/ 2012.9.21-23 Beijing
Na+ Zeolites + + = • Consist of interconnected SiO2 and AlO2 tetrahedra & Cations+ • Tetrahedra form 3D frameworks with linked channels down to molecular level • High porosity, pores fixed down to nm sizes -> gas sensing • Exceptionally high specific-surface-area • 400 m2/gr (two large apartments in one gram !!!) http://www.icmmm.net/ 2012.9.21-23 Beijing
Zeolite Building blocks SiO2 tetrahedra Chemical formula SiO2? Tetrahedra connected at corners Each Oxygen is shared by 2 tetrahedra All corners are connected 4 × ½ = 2 O atoms → Si Schematically, oxygen are shown as straight lines (bonds) and Si at the corners All corners are connected→ 4 lines from each Si Si Si O O O O Si Si http://www.icmmm.net/ 2012.9.21-23 Beijing
Si Si Zeolite - Silicalite (MFI) O 1-D channels All bonds are homopolar → no polarity in the crystal → Extremely hydrophobic http://www.icmmm.net/ 2012.9.21-23 Beijing

The resonance frequency depends on mass m and elastic (Young) modulus • Mass loads decrease frequency • E is constant in most solid materials but in magnetoelastic materials it depends on constant (biasing) fields H and stresses σ • H and σincrease or decrease frequency • Change on the mass molecules adsorbed in the zeolite’s crystal reflects to changes on the sensor’s resonance frequency http://www.icmmm.net/ 2012.9.21-23 Beijing [1]Grimes CA, Mungle CS, Zeng ZF, et al., Sensors 2 (7): 294-313 JUL 2002
