Ultra-fast catalytic detoxification of organophosphates by nano-zeolitic imidazolate frameworks

•Favorably, microporous nano-scale ZIFs has been fabricated tremendously via exposure to ammonia atmosphere method at ambient temperature.•Unambiguously, Instantaneous catalytic detoxification of the organophosphate (Diazinon) was confirmed by 31P NMR within 4 min.•Ultra-fast catalytic hydrolysis reaction, aperture and pore size of ZIFs compared with Diazinon definitely illustrating the process occurred on the ZIF exterior.•Utilization of optimized ZIF-8 demonstrated by XRD and conversion diagram certainly affirming its extraordinarily fantastic perseverance and relatively high performance after several incessant catalysis reactions, respectively.
