| Summary: | reaction because they have uniform pores and cavity. As a supporting material, zeolite micropores may provide a wide space for metal catalyst to seat in. In this study, a solution of iron (III) was impregnated into the pores of MFI zeolite nanosheet crystal. MFI zeolite nanosheet was synthesized hydrothermally using diquaternary ammonium ions as a structure directing agent (SDA). Ion exchange of sodium cation with proton in zeolite framework (HZSM-5) was done prior to metal impregnation. The resulting zeolites were characterized by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), IR spectroscopy and CO-Temperature-Programmed Reduction (TPR). The synthesis results show that there is a mixture of MFI zeolite nanosheet, MTW zeolite, and alpha-quartz. MFI zeolite with <br />
