A nano-thin layer MWW-type zeolite, derived from fumed silica, was dynamically in-situ synthesized at 150 ℃ using a dual-template system of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and hexamethylene imine(HMI). The effect of CTAB amount on the zeolite was also investigated. The nano-thin layer samples were characterized using powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), N₂ adsorption-desorption, ammonia temperature programmed desorption (NH₃-TPD), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), pyridine infrared spectroscopy (Py-IR), and 2, 6-di-tert-butylpyridine infrared spectroscopy (DTBPy-IR). The results indicated that MWW nanosheets with a thickness of 5-10 nm can be prepared using the double template system. Furthermore, the catalytic performance of the samples was evaluated through the isomerization of the trimethylbenzenes reaction. The catalytic results show that the sample d-MWW-4%CTAB exhibits good catalytic performance, with the conversion of 1, 2, 4-trimethylbenzene, the yield of 1, 3, 5-trimethylbenzene, and the selectivity of 1, 3, 5-trimethylbenzene being 34.97%, 22.42%, and 64.09%, respectively. This is primarily attributed to the external surface area and interlayer mesoporous structure formed in the nano-thin layer MCM-22.
