Herein, it is established that atomic layer deposition (ALD) of zinc oxide lends excellent control over the thickness and localization of resultant polycrystalline and glass zeolitic imidazole framework‐62 (ZIF‐62) thin‐films within tubular α‐alumina supports. Through the reduction of the chamber pressure and dose times during zinc oxide deposition, the resultant ZIF‐62 films are reduced from 38 µm to 16 µm, while the presence of sporadic ZIF‐62 (previously forming as far as 280 µm into the support) is prevented. Furthermore, the glass transformation shows a secondary reduction in film thickness from 16 to 2 µm.}, journal={SMALL}, author={Stone, Dana M. and Morgan, Sarah E. and Abdelmigeed, Mai O. and Nguyen, Jimmy and Bennett, Thomas D. and Parsons, Gregory N. and Cowan, Matthew G.}, year={2024}, month={Feb} }

Nanofibrous aerogel (NFA) with its highly porous self‐supported structure composed of interconnected nanofibrous network offers an ideal platform in this regard. Herein, a facile one‐pot strategy is introduced, which utilizes direct deposition of MOF on the nanofibrous surface of the NFAs. NFAs are synthesized using electrospun polyacrylonitrile/polyvinylpyrrolidone (PAN/PVP) polymer nanofibers containing zinc acetate (Zn(Ac) 2 ), which are subjected to freeze drying and thermal treatment. The latter converts Zn(Ac) 2 to zinc oxide (ZnO), providing the sites for MOF growth while also adding mechanical integrity to the NFAs through cyclization of the PAN. Exposure of the NFA to the vapor‐phase of organic ligand, 2‐methylimidazole (2‐MeIm) enables in situ growth of zeolitic imidazolate framework‐8 (ZIF‐8) MOF on the NFA. ZIF‐8 loading on the NFAs is further improved by more than tenfold by synthesizing ZnO nanorods/protrusions on the nanofibers, which enables more sites for MOF growth. These findings underscore a significant advancement in designing MOF‐based hybrid aerogels, offering a streamlined approach for their use in diverse applications, from catalysis to sensing and water purification.}, journal={SMALL METHODS}, author={Ebrahim, Muhammed Ziauddin Ahmad and Rahmanian, Vahid and Abdelmigeed, Mai and Pirzada, Tahira and Khan, Saad A.}, year={2024}, month={May} }
