Synthesis and characterization of Co, Ni, Zr and Cu MOFs based on 1,4-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid linker for hydrogen generation.

ABSTRACT: Cobalt-, nickel-, copper-, and zirconium-cluster-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) were synthesized via the solvothermal method using 1,4-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid (1,4-NDC) as the organic linker. The synthesized MOFs were characterized by PXRD, XPS, TEM, and the BET model. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) confirmed that the MOFs possessed highly crystalline structures. These MOFs were utilized as innovative catalysts to produce hydrogen through the hydrolysis of sodium borohydride (NaBH₄), a promising hydrogen source for energy applications. Among them, Co(1,4-NDC) and Ni(1,4-NDC) catalysts exhibited the highest catalytic activity, producing the maximum hydrogen volume within 5.1 and 6.0 min of stirring at room temperature, respectively. The high catalytic activity is attributed to
