I try to grown ZSM-5 film on the substrate. However, instead of forming a film, lots of powders exist on the surface in different size and shape, as shown in the attached figures.

I think the powders in Fig.a is ZSM-5 powders generated from precursor solution. Bundle-shape powders in Fig. b may be MOR due to the high alkalinity. But I have no idea what the individual large powder in Fig.b and powders in Fig. c. What are they and why?

(Si/Al=20, precursor solution pH=13)
