TLDR
In this paper, the interplay between Na and Cs cations in the formation of zeolite RHO is investigated, and it is shown that pure RHO can only be obtained at a very specific Cs to Na ratio.
Abstract
Alkali metal cations play an important role in directing formation of zeolite frameworks in the absence of organic structure directing agents. The interplay between Na and Cs cations in directing formation of zeolite RHO is the main focus of this study. Depending on the ratio of Na and Cs in the precursor gel, with no organic structure directing agents, several different zeolites form during synthesis. This indicates that pure zeolite RHO can only be obtained at a very specific Cs to Na ratio. More generally, this may shed light on the bigger question of how zeolite pores form in the absence of organic structure directing agents.

Local and Average Structural Changes in Zeolite A upon Ion Exchange

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that some structural modifications occur after partially exchanging the extra framework Na + ions with monovalent, Li +, K +, Rb + and NH 4 + and divalent, Ca 2 + cations.

Flexible Template-Free RHO Nanosized Zeolite for SelectiveCO 2 Adsorption

TL;DR: In this paper, flexible small-pore zeolites are used for flue and natural gas processing due to their high selectivity and high CO2/CH4 capacity.

Targeted Synthesis of Ultrastable High-Silica RHO Zeolite Through Alkali Metal–Crown Ether Interaction

TL;DR: High-silica RHO zeolite was directly synthesized using an alkali metal-crown ether (AMCE) complex as organic structure-directing agent (OSDA) to demonstrate considerably high reaction activity in NOX removal, making them promising candidates for diesel exhaust treatment.

Systematic approaches towards template-free synthesis of EMT-type zeolites

TL;DR: In this article, a method to synthesise pure zeolite EMC-2 using a lower amount of 18crown-6 ether than previously reported was reported. But this method did not show that FAU-type zeolites were not seen to co-crystallise.

Economical synthesis strategy of RHO zeolites with fine-tuned composition and porosity for enhanced trace CO2 capture

TL;DR: In this article, up to 70% of the Cs+ cations could be substituted by much cheaper K+cations and thus the synthesis costs of RHO zeolites could be impressively reduced.
