Our group presented the extremely low electric current synthesis of  AEL molecular sieve films on aluminum substrates by the control of substrate/solution interfacial microenvironment. It was found that the microenvironments at the substrate/ solution interface, especially the hydrogen bonds between interfacial water molecular and structure-directing agent ions (herein ionic liquid cations) in the electrical double layer (EDL) structure could promote the molecular sieve nucleation process and drive the film morphology evolution.
