Abstract

This article presents the first research results on synthesizing ZIF-94 from zinc nitrate hexahydrate in ethanol solvent without adding any other substances.

Experimental sample was studied by modern physicochemical methods such as XRD, F-TIR, SEM, TEM, BET, DTA. The successfully synthesized ZIF-94 has a specific surface area (BET) of 565 m²/g, particle size of 60 nm and heat stable up to 310 ^oC and efficiency of 68.6 %. The research results open up a good opportunity to synthesize ZIF-94 from zinc nitrate hexahydrate in environmentally friendly solvent for application in the fields of adsorption and catalysis in Vietnam.
