Dendrimeric fibrous silica HZSM-5 (HFSZ) catalysts were prepared using a microemulsion technique and ZSM-5-seeding crystallization with different oil phases, benzene, toluene, and xylene, and denoted as FB, FT, and FX, respectively. The HFSZ catalysts possessed a well ordered crystalline structure w...
