    Recently, 2-D metal oxide frameworks (MOFs) have exhibited great potential for energy storage devices including supercapacitors and batteries. This is due to their superior and highly tunable porous, structural, and morphological features. Zeolite imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) are highly chemically, and thermally stable class of MOFs which offer a wide variety of tunable porous structures and morphologies in comparison to widely used nano porous carbon which requires inert gas environment and high temperature treatment for large scale production and is therefore hazardous and expensive. In this work, facile and one-step environmentally friendly synthetic routes will be investigated and implemented for tuning of ZIF-67 derived porous nanostructures as electrode materials for renewable energy storage applications. The structural properties of the developed novel materials will be investigated using RAMAN spectroscopy measurements and analysis. The porosity of the materials will be estimated using Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area analyzer. The variation in morphology, pore size and structure will be studied by analyzing the shift in Raman vibrational modes of the samples.
