Synthesis and carbon dioxide capture properties of flower-shaped zeolitic imidazolate framework-L

Flower-shaped zeolitic imidazolate framework-L (ZIF-L) nanostructures were synthesized by a coordination control method. The CO₂ adsorption capacity of flower-shaped ZIF-L was 1.15 mmol g⁻¹ at room temperature and 1 bar, which was higher than that of the two-dimensional ZIF-L.
