The preparation method comprises: adding a metal carbonate or oxide, an organic ligand to a hydrophilic liquid to obtain a mixture; introducing an acidic gas to reach a reaction pressure of 0.1 MPa to 2.0 MPa, and reacting for a predetermined time; heating to 30 C.-60 C. and vacuuming to obtain the zeolitic imidazolate framework. The present invention also provides a zeolitic imidazolate framework obtained by the above preparation method. The preparation method according to the present invention is environmentally friendly and has a high yield.

A composition of matter is provided comprising hierarchically ordered crystalline microporous material having well-defined long-range mesoporous ordering of lamellar symmetry. The composition possesses mesopores having walls of crystalline microporous material and a mass of mesostructure between mesopores of crystalline microporous material. Long-range ordering is defined by presence of secondary peaks in an X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern and/or lamellar symmetry observable by microscopy.

A method of using biopolymer to synthesize titanium-containing silicon oxide material and applications thereof are disclosed. The method comprises steps: mixing a titanium source, a silicon source, an acid source, a base source, a biopolymer and a solvent to form an aqueous solution, and letting the aqueous solution react to form a semi-product; performing aging, solid-liquid separation and drying of the semi-product to obtain a dried solid; and performing calcination or extraction of the dried solid to obtain a titanium-containing silicon oxide material with a high specific surface area. The present invention adopts a biopolymer as the templating agent, which makes the fabrication process of titanium-containing silicon oxide material more environment-friendly. After calcination or extraction, the product still has superior catalytic activity, able to catalyze epoxidation of olefins and favorable for the production of epoxide.
