Mesoporous ZSM5 (mZSM5) was prepared by the dual templating method for n-heptane cracking and CO methanation. The properties of mZSM5 were tailored by varying the aging time in the 0.5–3-day range. The physical properties of the catalysts were characterized with XRD, FESEM, nitrogen physisorption an...
