Abstract

Thermal collapse of crystalline zeolites offers a way to obtain glasses in chemical regimes that are inaccessible by classical melt quenching. Thereby, the charge-balancing cations located within the zeolitic framework play an important role in determining structural stability and the dynamics of collapse. Here, we use ion exchange in aqueous solution to create a consistent variety of alkali, alkaline earth and transition-metal containing derivatives of the faujasitic Zeolite X. We subsequently explore the effect of cation species on the thermal stability and the collapse dynamics, revealing a systematic decrease of zeolite stability with increasing cation electronegativity, but a more complex correlation for the apparent activation energy of the collapse reaction.
