prepare nanocrystalline (60–80 nm) chabazite with an optimized framework Al distribution
that has a positive impact on its catalytic properties. This is exemplified for the methanol‐to‐
olefin (MTO) process. The nanosized material with the predicted Al distribution maximizes
the formation of the required MTO hydrocarbon pool intermediates, while better precluding
excessive diffusion pathways that favor the rapid catalyst deactivation by coke formation.
