Effect of Different Templates on the Synthesis of Mesoporous Sodalite

Table 1

The crystallite size and crystallinity of sodalite formed using different templates.

Sample	Template	Crystallite size (nm)	Crystallinity (%)
SOD	—	20	100
SOD-OS	Organosilane	15	94
SOD-CT	CTABr	9	64
SOD-TP	TPA	11	42
SOD-TC	TPA and CTABr 1 : 1	19	91

The sodalite synthesized without template is taken to 100% crystallinity.
