“…The phenomenon can be explained by the fact that cotton fibers are converted into CF containing amorphous carbon after high-temperature carbonization . In addition to the characteristic diffraction peak of type I cellulose at 22.9° (002), ZIF-67@CF also shows new diffraction peaks at 7.4, 10.4, 12.7, 14.8, 16.5, 18.0, 24.5, and 25.5°, corresponding to the (011), (002), (112), (002), (013), (222), (233), and (224) crystal planes of the ZIF-67 crystal, respectively, which indicates that ZIF-67 is successfully loaded on the cotton fiber (Figure a). The characteristic diffraction peaks belonging to ZIF-67 disappear after pyrolysis, and new derivative peaks appear at 44.2, 51.5, and 76.1°, corresponding to the (111), (200), and (220) crystal planes of cobalt metal, respectively .…”
