Morphology control synthesis of zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) is very important to understand its morphology, structure, and catalytic property relationships. Herein, morphology control synthesis of ZIF-8 was achieved through an efficient and environmentally friendly one-pot heating strategy. Different sophisticated ZIF-8, such as solid spheres, hollow spheres, hierarchical particles, and stackable particles, were obtained by using different surfactants as templates. The sophisticated ZIF-8 can be employed directly as a catalyst for cycloaddition reaction between CO2 and styrene oxide. The high specific surface areas and most abundant acid-base sites are account for the superior catalytic performance of ZIF-8 solid spheres, and the rich mesopores provides channels for the mass transfer of large reactants or product molecules, facilitating the accessibility of reactive sites and increasing catalytic activity. ZIF-8 solid spheres showed enhanced catalytic activity and excellent recyclability and are thus potential heterogeneous catalysts in various catalytic reactions.
