Hybrid nanomaterials offer promising properties to serve as an electrode for hybrid supercapacitors. Herein, dye (rhodamine B, RhB) encapsulated zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (RhB@ZIF-8) was synthesized at room temperature via triethylamine (TEA)-assisted method. The material was used as a precursor for synthesizing zinc oxide embedded nitrogen-doped carbon (ZnO@N-doped C) via the carbonization at different temperatures (400 C, 600 C, and 800 C). The materials were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential thermal analysis (DTA), highresolution transmission electron microscope (HR-TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray mapping (EDX), nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherm, and X-ray photoelectron microscope (XPS).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
