A kind of bimetallic Cu/Co zeolitic imidazole frameworks (CuCo-ZIFs) has been successfully synthesized in ethanol solvent by ultrasound method. The morphology, structural features and physicochemical properties of CuCo-ZIFs were analyzed by several techniques including powder X-ray diffraction, thermo-gravimetric analysis, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy,, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope, and nitrogen physisorption measurements. The results showed that CuCo-ZIFs nanocrystals demonstrated a ZIF-67-like polyhedral morphology with high thermal stability. The Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface areas of CuCo-ZIFs were achieved approximately 1172 m2/g, while its Langmuir surfaces areas were achieved approximately 1907 m2/g.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
