EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF METAL-ORGANIC FRAMEWORKS FOR ENHANCED ENERGY STORAGE APPLICATIONS: SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION, AND PERFORMANCE EVALUATION

Abstract

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), which possess high surface area, tunable porosity, and superior chemical robustness, have become a class of promising materials for hydrogen fuel cell technology3,4. The study herein presents the synthesis, characterization, and performance evaluation of the metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) used in the supercapacitors. Synthesis methods such as solvothermal, hydrothermal, and mechanochemical methods were further optimized by tuning the temperature, pH, solvent composition, or reaction time. Crystalline structure, morphology, and functional group interactions of the synthesized MOFs were confirmed using characterization techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). PTX, SPN, and nanoDD preparation from electronic syringe pumps were verified by dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) supplemented with albumin and clogging also was confirmed by DLS in more realistic conditions such as 0.9% NaCl at 37 °C. Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area and X-ray photoelectron  spectroscopy (XPS) analysis were utilized to investigate porosity and surface chemistry, respectively. Electrochemical performance of MOFs was assessed showing potential towards high hydrogen adsorption capacity and improved charge transport in fuel cells. Nevertheless, for practical applications, challenges including synthesis scalability, long-term stability, and adsorption kinetics must be overcome. Further studies should aim towards cost-efficient synthesis methods, enhanced stability of MOFs, and incorporation of computational modeling strategies to fine-tune material performance. This study offers the discovery of this study not only paves the way for the large-scale application of MOFs in hydrogen fuel cells,IT is also benefit for the development of sustainable energy.
