Figure Abstract

Caption

Dimethoxymethane (DMM) carbonylation provides a mild, green and sustainable route for production of degradable plastic monomers, glycolic acid. ZEO-1 zeolite contains large cages comprised of 16×16 and 16×12 MRs intersection showing high DMM carbonylation activity and small cages comprised of 12×12 MRs intersection showing high DMM disproportionation activity. Zeolite ZEO-1 exhibits both high DMM carbonylation and disproportionation activity due to its unique structure and active sites distribution.
