This document describes the synthesis of ZIF-8 nanoparticles. It involves mixing zinc nitrate hexahydrate and 2-methylimidazole in a 1:8 metal to ligand ratio in methanol. The solution is sonicated and stirred until a white precipitate forms. The precipitate is then separated via centrifugation and filtration, washed with methanol, and dried in a vacuum oven to yield the final ZIF-8 nanoparticles.
