The crystallization time of SSZ-13 was shortened from several days to 6 h without seeding or pre-aging at conventional synthetic temperature. The fast synthesis was realized by converting a clear-sol derived dry gel with the assistance of steam at 160 °C with a high yield (86%). The crystals of fast synthesized SSZ-13 appeared much smaller in size (333 ± 52 nm) compared to its bulk conventional counterpart. The effects of synthetic parameters such as silica sources, water to dry-gel ratio, aluminum content and inorganic cations were investigated. It was concluded that appropriate chosen of silica source and water to dry-gel ratio was the key to accelerate the formation of SSZ-13. The fast-synthesized SSZ-13 was tested with the reaction of methanol to olefins and showed a more than twofold increase in catalyst lifetime and higher selectivity to olefins than that of the conventional SSZ-13.

SSZ-13的结晶时间从几天缩短到6小时，而无需在常规合成温度下进行晶种或预老化。快速合成是通过在160°C的蒸汽辅助下以高产率（86％）转化透明溶胶衍生的干凝胶而实现的。快速合成的SSZ-13晶体看上去比其体积较大的常规对应物小得多（333±52 nm）。研究了诸如二氧化硅来源，水与干凝胶之比，铝含量和无机阳离子等合成参数的影响。得出的结论是选择硅石源和水，以干凝胶比率适当是加速SSZ-13形成的键。
