This eco-friendly approach allows for minimal addition of fresh chemicals and thus reduces the synthesis cost. The one-pot synthesised rGO/ZIF-8 powder was recovered by filtration, and the mother liquor filtrate was reused for the next cycle of synthesis. The product yield from each cycle was evaluated by quantifying the product�s mass. Detailed characterisation studies were carried out by using XRD, TGA, FTIR, BET, SEM, and TEM. ZIF-8 nanoparticles anchored well on the surfaces of rGO without sacrificing the product yield. This approach minimises the use of organic linker and its waste product, leading to low-cost and environmentally friendly synthesis process for rGO/ZIF-8. © 2020, Iranian Chemical Society. date: 2021 publisher: Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85089291534&doi=10.1007%2fs13738-020-02032-8&partnerID=40&md5=3acb72ff1bae15e596585f82f2aaa78e id_number: 10.1007/s13738-020-02032-8 full_text_status: none publication: Journal of the Iranian Chemical Society volume: 18 number: 2 pagerange: 363-373 refereed: TRUE issn: 1735207X citation: Jamil, N. and Othman, N.H. and Mohd Zaini, M.H. and Alias, N.H. and Shahruddin, M.Z. and Lau, W.J. and Ismail, A.F. and Md Nordin, N.A.H.
