Bimetallic CoCu-ZIF material for efficient visible light photocatalytic fuel denitrification

“…32 ZIFs are excellent photocatalytic material, which has been applied in many elds. 33,34 For example, ZIF-67 (Co) is a typical Co-based ZIF with high pore volume and specic surface area. 35 Changli Shi et al 36 synthesized Ag/ZIF-67/TiO 2 /Cu sheet, which displayed greatly enhanced photocatalytic activity for the degradation of 4-ATP ($100%, 15 min).…”

Metal–organic frameworks as a therapeutic strategy for lung diseases

“…The bond angle of M-IM-M is about 1451. [113][114][115] ZIF-8, one of the most representative ZIF materials, is composed of Zn 2+ and 2-methylimidazole. It features a great specific surface area (BET: 1630 m 2 g À1 ) and excellent thermal stability (it does not decompose at 550 1C).…”

Solvent-induced phase transformations of ZIF-L to ZIF-8 and their derivatives' gas-sensing properties

“…However, due to its highly symmetrical bcc crystal structure, the current methods devised for the controlled synthesis of ZIF-8 are mainly focused on complicated post-synthetic chemical etching or surfactant-assisted synthesis, which involve reduction of the particle surface accessibility and is unfavorable for gas sensing or catalysis applications. [11][12][13][14] As a result, it is challenging and highly desirable to explore a facile and surfactant-free method to achieve the morphology and sizecontrolled synthesis of ZIF-8.…”
