A unique mesostructured fibrous silica@ZSM-5 (HSi@ZSM-5) catalyst was synthesized via microemulsion ZSM-5 zeolite seed assisted synthesis method and successfully applied in enhanced propylene formation in methanol to olefin (MTO) process. Characterization of the catalysts were carried out by FESEM,...
