Abstract: A method of forming an SSZ-13 zeolite in a hydrothermal synthesis yields an SSZ-13 zeolite that exhibits a silica to alumina (SiO2:Al2O3) molar ratio (SAR) that is less than 16:1; has a morphology that includes one or more of cubic, spheroidal, or rhombic particles with a crystal size that is in the range of about 0.1 micrometer (?m) to 10 ?m. This SSZ-13 also exhibits a Brönsted acidity that is in the range of 2.0 mmol/g to 3.4 mmol/g as measured by ammonia temperature programmed desorption. A catalyst formed by substituting a metal into the framework of the zeolite provides for low temperature light-off of the NOx conversion reactions, while maintaining substantial performance at higher temperatures demonstrating hydrothermal stability.
