    Growth of Zif-8 on Molecularly Ordered 2-Methylimidazole/Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes to Form Highly Porous, Electrically Conductive Composites
    (Royal Soc Chemistry, 2018-10-25) Ellis, James E.; Zeng, Zidao; Hwang, Sean I.; Li, Shaobo; Luo, Tian-Yi; Burkert, Seth C.; White, David L.; Rosi, Nathaniel L.; Gassensmith, Jeremiah J.; Star, Alexander; 0000-0001-6400-8106 (Gassensmith, JJ); Li, Shaobo; Gassensmith, Jeremiah J.
    The combination of porosity and electrical conductivity in a single nanomaterial is important for a variety of applications. In this work, we demonstrate the growth of ZIF-8 on the surface of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). The growth mechanism was investigated and a molecularly ordered imidazole solvation layer was found to disperse SWCNTs and promote crystal growth on the sidewalls. The resultant ZIF-8/SWCNT composite demonstrates high microporosity and electrical conductivity. The ZIF-8/SWCNT composite displayed semiconducting electrical behavior and an increase in sensor sensitivity toward ethanol vapors versus pristine SWCNTs.
