Zeolitic imidazole frameworks-8 (ZIF-8) is a subclass of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with the transition metal cations (Zn2+) linked by imidazolate anions forming tetrahedral frameworks in zeolite-like topologies. This article reports on the synthesis of ZIF-8 nanoparticles by varying the synthe...
