Abstract: Ionothermal synthesis is a new method for the synthesis of molecular sieves and it takes advantage of an ionic liquid or a deep eutectic mixture as a medium. Ionothermal synthesis offers an ionic environment and an opportunity to obtain novel molecular sieves and determine the mechanism of molecular sieve synthesis. A brief review about the progress in the ionothermal synthesis of molecular sieves is summarized and includes innovations in the synthesis method, determination of the synthesis mechanism and the preparation of novel molecular sieves and new catalysts. Future development in the ionothermal synthesis of molecular sieves is also discussed.

Key words: ionothermal synthesis, molecular sieves, microwave heating, catalyst, structure directing agent
