Hybrid nanocomposites of ZIF-8 with graphene oxide exhibiting tunable morphology, significant CO2 uptake and other novel properties

Abstract

Hybrid nanocomposites of graphene oxide (GO) with ZIF-8 exhibit tunable nanoscale morphology and porosity, both determined by the GO content, coordination modulation being responsible for such properties. These materials also give rise to high CO₂ storage capability and can be used as precursors to prepare GO@ZnS nanocomposites.
