Controlled synthesis of highly stable zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 dodecahedra and their use towards the templated formation of a hollow Co₃O₄ catalyst for CO oxidation

Abstract

Uniform dodecahedral Co₃O₄ hollow architectures can be prepared from ZIF-67 templates, which were synthesized by controlling the reactants mole ratio, shows excellent catalytic performance for CO oxidation.
