Bokhoven, Jeroen A. van 2017-11-08 The potential of valence to core Al X-ray emission spectroscopy to determine aluminum distribution in ferrierite zeolites was investigated. The recorded emission spectra of four samples prepared with different structure directing agents exhibit slight variations in the position of the main emission peak and the intensity of its low energy shoulder. Theoretical calculations indicate that an increased intensity of the Kβx shoulder in the Al emission spectra can be linked to a predominant occupation of the T3 site by a single aluminum atom. This study thus suggests that valence to core X- ray emission spectroscopy can be applied to help determine the occupation of aluminum at crystallographic T-sites in zeolites. application/pdf https://folia.unifr.ch/global/documents/306261 https://folia.unifr.ch/documents/306261/files/dou_dao.pdf https://folia.unifr.ch/documents/306261/files/dou_dao_sm.pdf eng info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.1039/C7CP05001A info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess License undefined Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics. - 2017, vol. 19, no. 43, p. 29271–29277 info:eu-repo/classification/udc/53 Distribution of aluminum over different T-sites in ferrierite zeolites studied with aluminum valence to core X-ray emission spectroscopy http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501
