In situ growth of ZIF-8 onto porous carbons as an efficient adsorbent for malachite green removal

ZIF-8 metal organic framework materials as a superb platform for the removal and photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants: a review

“…As a result of its porous structure, great specific surface area (1240 m 2 g −1 ) and hydrophilic nature, the ZIF-8/CNC hybrid displayed a great adsorption ability of 1060.2 mg g −1 and re-usability for 3 cycles without loss of its structural properties and adsorption performance. 98 Li et al 99 developed an in situ growth technique to successfully grow ZIF-8 on porous carbon (ZIF-8/porous carbon). This hybrid material was tested for the removal of MG from aqueous medium.…”

“…Furthermore, due to its high particle size, the 1 : 4 ZIF-8/porous carbon hybrid was readily separated through filtration and reused for 3 cycles with a retention of 88% of its original adsorption. 99 Abdi and co-authors 100 attempted to remove MG in an aqueous solution, and they studied the efficiency of two hybrids based on ZIF-8/GO and ZIF-8/carbon nanotubes (CNTs) towards the adsorption of MG. After the successful preparation of ZIF-8/CNT and ZIF-8/GO, new pores were observed for both hybrids, which were very useful for the adsorption of pollutant molecules (MG). Furthermore, they showed that the construction of the ZIF-8/CNT and ZIF-8/GO hybrids prevented the generation of aggregates, achieving a high surface area of 830.3 m 2 g −1 and 1476.4 m 2 g −1 , respectively.…”

Integration of fluorescent probes into metal–organic frameworks for improved performances

“…ZIF-8, composed of Zn 2+ and 2-methylimidazole, is the most commonly used MOF to regulate the sensitivity of fluorescent probes attributed to its facile preparation and excellent stability besides superior adsorption ability. 89–93 Fluorescent probes based on various CDs, HBDD and CuNCs have been integrated into ZIF-8 to realize the improvement of sensitivity. 57–64…”

XRD and Spectroscopic Investigations of ZIF—Microchannel Glass Plates Composites

“…Among the investigated ZIF materials, ZIF-8 has unique advantages in terms of its chemical and thermal stability [ 1 , 15 ]. Furthermore, many studies reference ZIF-8 in relation to environmental remediation, since ZIF-8 has advantages over traditional approaches, in terms of manufacturability and cost [ 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 ]. While ZIF materials find use in powder form, powder alone is not suitable for many applications because powder materials are fragile and brittle.…”
