In this study, a nanocellulose and ZIF-8 composite aerogel was successfully synthesized via an in-situ growth method. The structural and elemental properties of the obtained hybrid aerogel were investigated using FTIR and EDX/XRF analyses. FTIR results confirmed the presence of characteristic functional groups belonging to both nanocellulose and ZIF-8, indicating successful integration of the metal–organic framework into the cellulose matrix. EDX/XRF analysis revealed distinct zinc-related peaks corresponding to Zn Kα and Zn Kβ emissions, confirming the incorporation of ZIF-8 particles within the porous aerogel structure. The obtained results demonstrated the successful formation of a stable hybrid porous material.
