The structure, acidity, and n-octane di-branched isomerization of SAPO-11 synthesized with surfactants of different chain lengths in water–propanol system were investigated. The results showed that with the increasing chain length of surfactants, the crystallite size of SAPO-11 firstly decreased and then increased, but the external surface area and the active B acid sites of SAPO-11 firstly increased and then decreased. The smallest crystallite, the highest external surface area, and the most B acid sites were obtained simultaneously with the surfactant of 12 carbon atoms. The isomerization results of n-octane indicated that among the series Pt/SAPO-11 catalysts, the catalyst with DoTAB-directed SAPO-11 as support had the highest selectivity to di-branched isomers and the lowest cracking selectivity due to the largest external surface area that created more active sites to promote the formation of di-branched isomers by the key-lock mechanism and improve the diffusion of intermediates and products for reducing cracking reactions.
