The invention discloses a ZnO@ZIF-8 core-shell structure
microsphere and a preparation method thereof. The core-shell structure
microsphere is formed by ZnO and ZIF-8, wherein ZnO is adopted as a core, ZIF-8 is adopted as a shell, the
diameter of the spherical ZnO core is 250 to 300 nm, the surface of the spherical ZnO core is a
rough surface, the thickness of the ZIF-8 shell is 40 to 60 nm, the ZIF-8 shell is formed by a block-shaped polygonal body, and the specific surface area of each
microsphere is more than or equal to 300m<2> / g. The preparation method comprises the following steps: adding dihydrate
zinc acetate into
diethylene glycol at a weight ratio of (3.5-7.5): 250 to obtain a mixture, refluxing the mixture for at least 1h under the temperature of 140 to 180 DEG C to obtain a reaction liquid, after the reaction liquid is cooled to the
room temperature, sequentially carrying out
solid-liquid separation, washing and
drying treatment on the reaction liquid to obtain spherical ZnO, then adding the spherical ZnO into 3.16 to 4.16 mol / L of 2-methylimidazole solution at a weight ratio of (0.008-0.012): (2.5-2.9) to obtain a
mixed solution, standing and aging the
mixed solution for 8 to 60 minutes, sequentially carrying out
solid-liquid separation, washing and
drying treatment on the
mixed solution to obtain a target product. The ZnO@ZIF-8 core-shell structure microsphere is good in dispersing property and relatively large in specific surface area and can be widely applied to the fields such as gas storage, separation and catalyzing.
