This article aims to clarify the role of hydrolysing agent in the synthesis of a pristine fibrous silica zeolite X (FZX) catalyst using DFT simulation, thermodynamics, and experimental data. FZX was fabricated using various hydrolysing agents such as urea (FZXU), formamide (FZXF) and N, N methylened...
