Correction for 'Synthesis of nanostructured catalysts by surfactant-templating of large-pore zeolites' by Aqeel Al-Ani et al., Nanoscale Adv., 2019, 1, 2029–2039.

The following amendments have been suggested:

## Introduction

The surfactant-templated mesostructuring approach, introduced in ref. 21 and 25, allows for a more precise control of the intracrystalline mesoporosity introduced while retaining the main properties of the zeolites, including their microporosity, catalytic activity, and hydrothermal stability. For these reasons, surfactant-templated zeolites have been successfully commercialised.<sup>22,36</sup>

## Experimental section

The preparation of mesostructured faujasites followed the general procedure introduced in ref. 25.

## Results and discussion

In agreement with previous reports,<sup>18,25,44</sup> our results demonstrate that TIPB conversion increases for all zeolites following their mesostructuring treatment.

## Acknowledgments

The authors would like to thank Professor Javier Garcia-Martinez and Dr Eric Li for the useful information provided regarding the synthesis of surfactant-templated zeolites.
