abstract
In this report, we demonstrate the use of epitaxial growth of one molecular sieve (ETS-10) on another (ETS-4) to fabricate preferentially oriented molecular sieve films. Highly b-oriented but poorly intergrown ETS-4 precursor layer is first prepared. Then by the secondary growth method, highly a-/b-oriented ETS-10 molecular sieve film is fabricated under a hydrothermal condition that leads to heteroepitaxial growth of ETS-10 on ETS-4. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) are utilized to determine the preferred orientation.
