Abstract

Thin films of ZIF-8 on ZnO nanorods were synthesized by casting a thin linker film followed by heating for less than an hour.

  • Thin films of the well-known metal–organic framework ZIF-8 were formed on zinc oxide nanorods through the reaction with 2-methyl-imidazole solution (Hmim)

  • The thin films synthesised by Ameloot et al were not totally uniform, with some crystals being as large as 1 μm in diameter, making this 5360 | CrystEngComm, 2015, 17, 5360–5364
