Abstract
Series of Pt-loaded graphene oxide (GO)/HKUST-1 composites were synthesized by the reaction between Pt@GO and precursors of HKUST-1. The parent materials and composites have been characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Infrared (IR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and gas adsorption analyzer. The XRD and IR analysis showed that the incorporation of Pt@GO did not prevent the formation of HKUST-1 units. SEM, TEM and EDS results revealed that Pt nanoparticles were well-dispersive and anchored tightly into composites. Meanwhile, the percentage of Pt@GO has an obvious effect on morphologies, crystallinities and surface areas of composites. More importantly, the significant enhancement of hydrogen storage capacity at ambient temperature for the composite with low Pt@GO content can be ascribed to the hydrogen spillover mechanism in such system.
