Abstract

Boron-incorporated nanosized HB-SUZ-4 showcased a noteworthy 24% boost in dimethyl ether carbonylation, with an elevation in methyl acetate selectivity from 91.8% to 96.0%. The improved performance is attributed to shortened diffusion lengths along the 8-member ring channels, decreased Brønsted acidity in the 10-member ring channels, and Lewis acid sites stabilizing CO.
