Influence of the 2-methylimidazole/zinc nitrate hexahydrate molar ratio on the synthesis of zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 crystals at room temperature
Open accessAbstract
The effect of the 2-methylimidazole (Hmim)/zinc nitrate hexahydrate (Zn) molar ratio on the physicochemical characteristics of the zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) was investigated. ZIF-8 crystals were synthesized by mixing Hmim with Zn at room temperature without any additives in methanol solution. It was found that Hmim/Zn molar ratio had significant influence on the crystallinity, yield, particle size and porosity of ZIF-8. The samples synthesized at low Hmim/Zn molar ratio showed a cubic shape, whereas at higher Hmim/Zn ratios truncated rhombic dodecahedron or rhombic dodecahedron morphologies were obtained. The particle size is decreased upon increasing the Hmim/Zn molar ratio. Besides, higher Hmim/Zn molar ratio in a certain range resulted in improving crystallinity, yield, surface area and micropore volume of ZIF-8. The ZIF-8 crystals produced at Hmim/Zn molar ratio of 8 exhibited the best characteristics. The present work provides new insights in relation to the role of Hmim/Zn molar ratio on the synthesis process of ZIF-8.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
