MFI-supported films were prepared using secondary growth of precursor layers. The precursor layers were prepared free of additives and no calcination step was used before secondary growth. Combined microstructural control over film thickness, orientation, continuity, and surface roughness was achieved. Hydrothermal conditions were identified, such as film growth proceeds predominantly by direct growth of the particles of the precursor layer. The prepared polycrystalline films have a columnar microstructure. The out-of-plane grain orientation can be manipulated by secondary growth conditions, and is such that the c-axes of the grains range from perpendicular to the substrate to an angle of ∼34° from the direction normal to the substrate, whereas the in-plane grain orientation is random. Initial film growth rates were sustained at a constant value for extended periods of time with an activation energy of 70 kJ/mol. The degree of out-of-plane orientation increases with film thickness up to a point where chan...
