MW Synthesis of ZIF-7. The Effect of Solvent on Particle Size and Hydrogen Sorption Properties

Abstract: We report here fast (15 min) microwave-assisted solvothermal synthesis of zeolitic imidazolate framework material (ZIF-7). We have optimized solvent composition to achieve high porosity and hydrogen capacity and narrow particle size distribution. It was shown that synthesis in N,N-diethylformamide (DEF) results in a layered ZIF-7 III phase, while N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) as solvent leads to a pure ZIF-7 phase in microwave conditions. A mixture of toluene with DMF allows the production of pure ZIF-7 material… Show more

“…In most solvothermal cases, the use of DMF as the solvent always yields ZIF-7-I, unless a foreign component such as toluene was added in a large amount. 6,20,21,23 This can also be seen in the use of zinc acetate as a catalyst for ZIF-7 synthesised via the ball-milling route (Fig. 1c).…”

“…This follows closely with the ZIF-7-III 2D crystal structure reported in the literature, which has a planar morphology or a stacked sheet morphology. 6,12,23,25 Besides, TGA analysis shows that the ball-milling synthesis has slightly better thermal stability under air as shown in Fig. 2d.…”

“…Conventional MOFs are typically synthesized in the form of a crystalline powder with crystallite sizes that range from the nano-to hundreds of micron-scale [11][12][13][14][15]. Nevertheless, MOFs in powder form cannot be easily utilized in industrial applications.…”

“…Because of this, they are able to manipulate the properties of a material in the desired way. As a result, MOFs have been successfully applied in fields such as gas storage and separation [4,5], biomedicine [6,7], environmental remediation [8][9][10], and catalysis [11,12].…”
