ultrathin slices of porous metal-organic complex materials tagged posts

Synthetic process of metal-organic framework nanosheet array. Figure 1 Metal salts and substrate are firstly mixed together in an aqueous solution, and then introduces the organic ligand. Next, the MOF nanosheet array grows on the surface of substrate via a dissolution-crystallization mechanism.

UNSW Sydney chemists have invented a new, cheap catalyst for splitting water with an electrical current to efficiently produce clean hydrogen fuel. The technology is based on the creation of ultrathin slices of porous metal-organic complex materials coated onto a foam electrode, which have are highly conductive of electricity and active for splitting water...
