Hydrophobic pore space constituted in macroporous ZIF-8 for lipase immobilization greatly improving lipase catalytic performance in biodiesel preparation

BACKGROUND: lipase) was immobilized on M-ZIF-8 and M-ZIF-8-PDMS by diffusion into the macropores. RESULTS: ) than ANL@M-ZIF-8. CONCLUSIONS: Hydrophobic pore space constituted in macroporous ZIF-8 for lipase immobilization greatly improved lipase catalytic performance in biodiesel preparation. The hydrophobic modification time showed negligible influence on the reusability of the immobilized lipase. This work broadened the prospect of immobilization of enzyme on MOFs with some inspiration.
