Microwaving plates: A facile method was developed for the fabrication of preferentially c-oriented cobalt-substituted silicoaluminophosphate-5 (CoSAPO-5) membranes on porous alumina supports. In situ microwave growth using a slip-coated TiO2 layer on the support surface resulted in an oriented CoSAPO-5 crystal layer, which was evolved into a defect-free membrane by improving crystalline intergrowth through secondary hydrothermal microwave growth. ; NSF NSF-NIRT CMMI 0707610 ; Petroleum Institute of Abu Dhabi ; European Marie Curie International Reintegration (FP7, grant agreement no. 210947) ; NSF ; Palomino Roca, M.; Valencia Valencia, S.; Corma Canós, A.; Stoeger, JA.; Agrawal, KV.; Zhang, X.; Karanikolos, GN.
