Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents the formation of highly crystalline ZIF-8 using microwave-assisted solvothermal method. The crystallinity of the ZIF-8 particles was characterized using X-ray diffraction. The lattice vibrations of the structure in the ZIF-8 framework were determined through Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy. The morphology of the ZIF-8 particles was observed through scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that, 0.5 hour was sufficient for the formation of highly crystalline ZIF-8 particles using microwave-assisted solvothermal method under temperature 120 oC.
