1 ZIF-8: An overview
-
Zohaib Saeed
Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks, MOFs, have emerged as a research topic of great interest in the past few decades. MOFs belong to a class of compounds that have porous crystalline polymeric structure. This chapter is a review of ZIF-8 as a representative subclass of MOFs. ZIF-8 is prepared by employing solvothermal, in situ synthesis, sonochemical, and ionothermal methods. ZIF-8 can be integrated with other components such as noble metals, polymers, enzymes, carbon nanotubes, etc., which expands their applications and enhances their mechanical, thermal, and other properties. ZIF-8 has many applications such as removal of heavy metals from aqueous solutions, treatment of wastewater, gas separation, drug delivery and medicinal applications, heterogeneous catalysis, electrochemical sensors, and electrode material for batteries.
