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

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.
