Microporous crystals have emerged as highly appealing catalytic materials for the plasma catalytic synthesis of ammonia. Herein, we demonstrate that zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) can be employed as efficient catalysts for the cold plasma ammonia synthesis using an atmospheric dielectric barrier discharge reactor. We studied two prototypical ZIFs denoted as ZIF-8 and ZIF-67, with a uniform window pore aperture of 3.

There is an increasing interest in looking for alternative ways to employ this waste to address this overload. Here, we show the efficient use of mango peels as a noncost carbon source for the synthesis of graphene.
