Popis: In previous works aiming at understanding the mesoporous network after alkaline treatment in the presence of organic additives, conventional bulk characterization techniques led to the conclusion that the dissolved zeolite does not undergo any kind of recrystallization [Verboekend, D., Cryst. Growth. Des. 2013, 13, 5025−5035]. Here for the first time, we demonstrate using the data obtained from 1H and 129Xe NMR spectroscopy that such recrystallization does occur, which leads to the formation of a very thin coating of the mesopore walls. This demonstration is done on a beta (BEA) zeolite treated in the presence of TPA+ in an alkaline solution. The formation of a small amount of nanosized crystals or embryonic phases of silicalite-1 (MFI) zeolite is evidenced, as well as their homogeneous dispersion on the mesoporous surface of the beta zeolite. We think that these results may explain why a homogeneous mesopore size distribution is obtained, when organic pore-directing agents are used in the zeolite hierarc...
