The synthesised ZIF-62 particles were fully activated in the vacuum oven at 150 oC for 24 hours before Ag adsorption to ensure maximal adsorption of Ag+ into the ZIF-62 pores. The activated particles were then lightly crushed and mixed using a small pestle and mortar to reduce possible agglomeration during activation and drying. The lightly ground ZIF-62 particles were then dispersed into a 0.05M methanol solution of AgNO3 and stirred at 300 rpm using a magnetic stirrer for 1 hour. The resulting suspension was then centrifuged at 9500 rpm for 15 minutes using Cence H1850 high-speed centrifuge and dried at 70 oC for 5 hours before being stored in a dark and cool condition. The Ag-doped ZIF-62 can be further melted at a temperature ranging between 400 oC-450oC using a furnace with an Argon environment for 5 minutes to form the glassy/thermally treated version of these materials.
