(a) XRD patterns of the pristine ZIF-8, S-IL@ZIF-8 composite, and S-IL@ZIF-8 composites ball-milled for fifteen and thirty minutes, respectively. Inset show highlighted regions of XRD spectra for am(S-IL@ZIF-8)-15 mins and am(S-IL@ZIF-8)-30 mins samples. (b) Quantification of crystallinity and amorphous fractions as a function of ball-milling time using Rietveld-refinement. Square and triangle symbols represent S-IL@ZIF-8 composite and pristine ZIF-8, respectively. (c) FTIR spectra of pristine ZIF-8, S-IL mixture and S-IL@ZIF-8 composite. The spectral resolution is 2 cm−1. Shifted peaks in S-IL@ZIF-8 compared to S-IL mixture spectra are highlighted in different colors. Peak deconvolution was performed using a Voigt function in Fityk software59.
