Abstract

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs: copper containing CuBTC)-graphene oxide (GO) composite (CG) was synthesized using microwave heating. The parent material and the composite were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), nitrogen sorption, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (HRTEM) and Raman spectroscopy. Then their hydrogen storage properties were systematically tested. The composite material CG shows a remarkable H2 capacity up to 2.43 wt% (28.6% increases vs. CuBTC) and higher surface area and pore volume compared to the neat CuBTC. And the particle size of CG is down to nanometer scale.
