Abstract

The studies about ZIFs indicate that highly commendable porosity and topology are factors that make them feasible for catalytic reactions. ZIF-8 structure can be studied by different analytical techniques. ZIFs have resemblance with topology of Si-O-Si structure present in zeolites. SEM forms various micrographs that had assisted us in characterization of ZIF-8. Afterwards, it had made possible the use of ZIF-8 commercially as a catalyst. ZIF-8 samples were prepared in different solvents like methanol (MeOH), dimethyl formamide (DMF), and dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO). DMSO gave well dispersed frameworks of ZIF with enhanced porosity that was further used for CO2 adsorption. Knoevenagel condensation is also aided by ZIF-8 catalyst, as supported by various characterization techniques such as XRD, SEM, TEM, TGA, etc.
