(a) Periodic silicalite-1 crystal (red/yellow) infiltrated by water molecules (blue) for a studied MD setup. (b) Detail of the water intrusion in a silicalite-1 pore. (c) Scanning electron microscopy analysis of a silicalite-1 crystal (scale bar, 10 μm). (d) ‘Silanol nests model’ of the hydrophilic defects induced by Al insertion in the silicalite-1 framework (silicon atoms are yellow; oxygen red; hydrogen white)30. Rendering MD pictures are made with UCSF Chimera68.
