Best ZIF-8 Powder Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) from China Suppliers and Reliable Factory Suppliers, Supplier

Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) are innovative materials composed of transition metal ions, such as Zinc and Cobalt, paired with imidazolate (Im) linkers. These linkers are tetrahedrally coordinated with nitrogen atoms from the five-membered imidazole ring, effectively serving as connectors between metal centers in a robust three-dimensional structure. Notably, the crystal structures of ZIFs exhibit the same topologies as traditional aluminosilicate zeolites, making them highly versatile in various applications. As leading suppliers and a reputable factory in China, we are proud to offer high-quality ZIF products that cater to diverse industry needs

Product Description

Product Name ZIF-8
Particle size ≈600 nm
Specific surface area ≥1500 ㎡/g
Pore size 0.8~1.8 nm

ZIFs have advantages over zeolites such that the hybrid framework structures are expected to have more flexibility in surface modification. Among a large variety of ZIFs, ZIF-8 is the most representative one first synthesized by Chen’s group, and then systematically named by the Yaghi’s group. It can be fabricated by zinc and mIm with a sodalite structure consisting of a four- and a six-membered ring ZnN4 cluster, which has good thermal and chemical stability, especially large specific surface area, adjustable porosity and abundant active sites.

As we all know, ZIF-8 has shown up distinguished advantages and advances in adsorption, gas separation, drug delivery, catalysis and biosensor.

ZIF-8 possesses the typical cubic sodalite topology with 11.6 Å large β-cages, which are connected by 6-membered ring windows (~3.4 Å). ZIF-8 and its membranes perform significant sieving advantages over ultramicroporous zeolites in selective separation of gas mixture contributing to the narrow six-membered ring pores (~3.4 Å) and hydrophobic behavior.
