- Additional information
- A simple one-step carbonization of zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 under a water steam atmosphere was developed to generate new homogeneous dispersed functional composite of ZnO nanoparticles embedded in N-doped nanoporous carbons, which exhibits increased CO2 uptake capacity and excellent methylene blue molecule removal from waste water. These research findings led to a close collaboration with Prof. Chongxin Shan (cxshan@zzu.edu.cn), a well-recognized expert in ZnO-based materials from Zhengzhou University in China, which resulted in not only a joint paper published on Nanotechnology, but also an awarded PhD studentship from the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training of Metamaterials at Exeter.
