A series of ZSM-5/ZSM-11 co-crystalline zeolites with various compositions and morphologies were successfully synthesized via an organic template-free hydrothermal route and characterized by XRD, XRF, SEM, NMR and N2 adsorption/desorption technologies. The effects of raw materials and batch composition were investigated systematically. Various silicon sources can be employed in the organic templatefree synthesis of ZSM-5/ZSM-11 co-crystalline zeolite, however only a few types of aluminum sources are available. This organic template-free system is favorable to the aluminum-rich zeolite. With the increase of initial SiO2/Al2O3 ratio, the ZSM-5 percentage in the ZSM-5/ZSM-11 co-crystalline zeolite increases as well as the crystal size, and especially the morphology of ZSM-5/ZSM-11 co-crystalline zeolite prepared from the colloidal silica–NaAlO2 solution system changes gradually from nano-rod aggregation, microspindle to single hexagon and then to twinned hexagon crystals. Moreover, Na+ and OH_ in the initial materials can promote the nucleation of the ZSM-5/ZSM-11 co-crystalline zeolite significantly and are beneficial to the formation of crystals with relatively low length/width ratio, while K+ postpones the crystallization process seriously
