Graphical Abstract

Multiammonium surfactants exhibited a remarkable capping effect for zeolite synthesis in the forms of nanoparticles, nanorods, and nanosponges in cases where common monovalent surfactants failed. A nanorod-shaped mordenite zeolite synthesized in this manner showed significantly enhanced catalytic lifetimes in acid-catalyzed cumene synthesis reactions.
