Facile synthesis of ZIF-8 nanocrystals in eutectic mixture

Abstract

We report the facile synthesis of ZIF-8 nanocrystals in an urea–choline chloride eutectic mixture. It was found that the concentration of reactant plays an important role in the crystal size. The experimental results also revealed that the addition amount of water and ethanol could affect the size and the dispersion of the as-synthesized ZIF-8 nanocrystals.
