Abstract
Zeolite catalyzed alkylation of benzene with long-chain α-olefins is a promising method for the detergent industry. Considering the long-chain α-olefins from Fischer-Tropsch synthesis always contain some oxygenated organic compounds, the effect of which on the alkylation of benzene with 1-dodecene was comprehensively investigated over beta zeolite herein. n-heptanol, n-heptaldehyde and n-heptanoic acid were selected as the model oxygenated organic compounds, and it was revealed that an obvious decrease of lifetime occurred when only trace amount of oxygenated organic compounds were added into the feedstocks. The deactivated catalyst was difficult to regenerate by extraction with hot benzene or coke-burning. A series of characterization tests complementary with DFT calculations revealed that the deactivation was mainly caused by the firm adsorption of oxygenated organic compounds on the acid sites. Further, comparison with the open-framework MWW zeolite revealed a similar effect of oxygenated organic compounds and deactivation mechanism for both beta and MWW, but beta is less sensitive to the oxygenated organic compounds. The main reason lies in the three-dimensional framework of beta, wherein the much higher adsorption energy of 1-dodecene makes it difficult to be replaced by oxygenated organic compounds. Additionally, beta could be regenerated more easily by extraction with hot benzene compared with MWW. But coke-burning caused a sharp decrease of its lifetime, which is mainly due to the decreased acid sites after calcination.

Abstract
Microporous zeolites that can act as heterogeneous catalysts have continued to attract a great deal of academic and industrial interest, but current progress in their synthesis and application is restricted to single-phase zeolites, severely underestimating the potential of intergrowth frameworks. Compared with single-phase zeolites, intergrowth zeolites possess unique properties, such as different diffusion pathways and molecular confinement, or special crystalline pore environments for binding metal active sites. This review first focuses on the structural features and synthetic details of all the intergrowth zeolites, especially providing some insightful discussion of several potential frameworks. Subsequently, characterization methods for intergrowth zeolites are introduced, and highlighting fundamental features of these crystals. Then, the applications of intergrowth zeolites in several of the most active areas of catalysis are presented, including selective catalytic reduction of NOx by ammonia (NH3-SCR), methanol to olefins (MTO), petrochemicals and refining, fine chemicals production, and biomass conversion on Beta, and the relationship between structure and catalytic activity was profiled from the perspective of intergrowth grain boundary structure. Finally, the synthesis, characterization, and catalysis of intergrowth zeolites are summarized in a comprehensive discussion, and a brief outlook on the current challenges and future directions of intergrowth zeolites is indicated.

Abstract
Acid-catalyzed reactions inside zeolites are one type of broadly applied industrial reactions, where carbocations are the most common intermediates of these reaction processes, including methanol to olefins, alkene/aromatic alkylation, and hydrocarbon cracking/isomerization. The fundamental research on these acid-catalyzed reactions is focused on the stability, evolution, and lifetime of carbocations under the zeolite confinement effect, which greatly affects the efficiency, selectivity and deactivation of zeolite catalysts. Therefore, a profound understanding of the carbocations confined in zeolites is not only beneficial to explain the reaction mechanism but also drive the design of new zeolite catalysts with ideal acidity and cages/channels. In this review, we provide both an in-depth understanding of the stabilization of carbocations by the pore confinement effect and summary of the advanced characterization methods to capture carbocations in zeolites, including UV-vis spectroscopy, solid-state NMR, fluorescence microscopy, IR spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy. Also, we clarify the relationship between the activity and stability of carbocations in zeolite-catalyzed reactions, and further highlight the role of carbocations in various hydrocarbon conversion reactions inside zeolites with diverse frameworks and varying acidic properties.
