Abstract The chemical/physical properties and reliable performance of nanoporous materials are strongly influenced by the particle size corresponding distribution. Among many types MOFs, ZIF‐8, is still widely used studies have been conducted to control uniformity ZIF‐8 using surfactants organic solvents. However, use solvents process expensive may cause environmental pollution. For first time, in this paper, a surfactant‐free, size‐controllable, scalable green synthesis method particles...
