Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
This article reports a novel strategy to design and synthesize hierarchical SAPO-34@kaolin composites as catalysts for methanol to olefins. This strategy includes two key steps: the first is the top-down depolymerization of kaolin microspheres into active silicon and aluminium species via thermal treatment, and the second is the bottom-up rearrangement and reorganization of the resulting active silicon and aluminium species and the external phosphorous source into hierarchical SAPO-34@kaolin composites both outside and inside the calcined kaolin microspheres which are co-templated by hexadecyltrimethyl-ammonium bromide (CTAB) and 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl dimethyl octadecyl ammonium chloride (TPOAC). It was found that CTAB functions as an in situ growth promoter to increase the SAPO-34 content in the resulting composites. Meanwhile, TPOAC serves as a mesoporogen to generate mesopores in the SAPO-34 phase of the SAPO-34@kaolin composites, and both CTAB and TPOAC play the role of a crystal growth inhibitor leading to the formation of SAPO-34 with a small crystal size. Distinctly different from the semi-synthesis products that were obtained by physically mixing and binding SAPO-34 with kaolin in appropriate proportions, the SAPO-34@kaolin composite synthesized involving both CTAB and TPOAC exhibits outstanding performance in methanol to olefins, with the selectivity to ethylene and propylene being increased by 20% and the catalyst lifetime being remarkably prolonged from 50 to 200 min. This is attributed to the high content, small crystal size, and hierarchical micro-mesoporous structure of the SAPO-34 crystallites in the composites.
