Nanocrystal ZSM-5 of different SiO2/Al2O3 ratios but same sizes were obtained.
The effect of SiO2/Al2O3 ratio on methanol to gasoline was systematically studied.
Increasing SiO2/Al2O3 ratio reduced durene yield and improved catalyst durability.
Low SiO2/Al2O3 ratios promoted C1-C4 and durene selectivity.
Catalysts with low SiO2/Al2O3 ratios deactivated more rapidly due to coking.
