Complete passivation of ZSM-5 zeolites external surface through silylation.
High selectivity toward light olefins obtained over silylated zeolites, up to 65%.
Above 45 g of C2–C4 olefins produced per gram of catalyst.
ZSM-5nano-French fries (Si/Al = 27) behave as a conventional ZSM-5 with (Si/Al = 52).
