ZIF-8
ZIF-8 (Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework-8) is a zinc-based metal-organic framework synthesized via hydrothermal method using 2-methylimidazole as a linker. It features a sodalite topology with a high BET surface area of 1600–1800 m²/g and a pore size of 2.67 nm. ZIF-8 exhibits excellent thermal and chemical stability under ambient conditions, with well-defined rhombic dodecahedral crystal morphology. Its size-selective 3.4 Å aperture and structural flexibility make it a benchmark material for gas separation, hydrogen storage, catalysis, and drug delivery applications.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about ZIF-8. Can't find yours? Contact us
How do I activate ZIF-8?
Usually under vacuum at about 150 °C for several hours. Exchanging the solvent with methanol before activation helps remove residual linker. Use the conditions on the TDS for exact values.
What colour should ZIF-8 be?
A white powder, and it stays white after activation.
Is ZIF-8 stable in water?
It is more water-stable than many MOFs, but long exposure to water, especially acidic solutions, can slowly degrade it. Store it dry.
What is ZIF-8 typically used for?
Size-selective gas separation and membranes (e.g. H₂/CO₂, propylene/propane), CO₂ capture research, catalyst supports and controlled-release studies.
