Morphology-size map of zeolitic imidazolate frameworks: unveiling the bactericidal effects upon varying their zinc/cobalt ion contents

“…[16][17][18][19] Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs), a subclass of MOFs fabricated with metal ions (cobalt or zinc) and imidazolate linkers, have exhibited prominent potential due to their exceptional chemical stability and biocompatibility. [20][21][22] The research trend of ZIFs is the synthesis of ZIF-based composites to conquer bacterial resistance, with ZIF-8 and ZIF-67 being the commonest ZIFs researched for their antibacterial activities. [23][24][25][26] Recently, ZIF-8 functionalized with polymer as coatings were found to have both competitive antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.…”
