Formation of Strong Brønsted Acid Sites on Aluminosilicate Surfaces during Catalytic Cracking
Amorphous aluminosilicates are essential components of fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) catalysts, where they provide structural support, hierarchical porosity, and acid functionality within the mesoporous matrix. A molecular-level description of the active acid site ensemble remains challenging because these materials...
