Zeolites in the spotlight : A combination of scanning transmission X‐ray microscopy (see picture) and bulk methods give nanoscale chemical insight in the distribution of Al and C within ZSM‐5 zeolites during methanol‐to‐olefin reactions. The distinct catalyst performances could be related to differences in the spatial distribution of the hydrocarbons.
