Synthesis, Characterization, and Electrochemical Study of ZIF-8 Metal Organic Framework and its Application as Catalyst for Glucose to Fructose Conversion and 5-Hydroxymethyl Furfural
Zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) is regarded in this study as a simple and low-cost alternative catalyst for the isomerization of glucose and the production of 5-hydroxymethyl furfural (HMF). Two methods of preparing ZIF-8 catalysts were investigated: room temperature and hydrothermal synthesis at 140
