A method of forming an AFX zeolite in a hydrothermal synthesis that exhibits a silica to alumina (SiO.sub.2AI.sub.2O.sub.3) molar ratio (SAR) that is between 8:1 and 26:1; has a morphology that includes one or more of cubic, spheroidal, or rhombic particles with a crystal size that is in the range of about 0.1 micrometer (μm) to 10 μm. This AFX zeolite also exhibits a Brönsted acidity that is in the range of 1.2 mmol/g to 3.6 mmol/g as measured by ammonia temperature programmed desorption. A catalyst formed by substituting a metal into the framework of the zeolite exhibits about a 100% conversion of NO emissions over the temperature range of 300° C. to 650° C.
