Zn(Ⅱ)-Based Metal-Organic Framework/Nafion® Composite Membrane with High Proton Conductivity for Fuel Cell Applications

Kim H.-J., Kabir L., Kyungpook National University, Daegu 41566, Korea, KR

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can serve as a scaffold to anchor acidic groups and provide efficient proton transfer pathways owing to their highly ordered structures and modular nature. Intentional coordination of MOFs with a conductive polymer [...]

Hydrogen Adsorption on Isoreticular Metal-Organic Framework

Loera-Serna S., López-Sosa S., Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, MX

Implement the use of hydrogen as an alternative energy source would reduce the use of fossil fuels, therefore it seeks to challenge any difficulty, mainly storage; an alternative of great interest is the use of [...]

Luminiscent properties of europium-1,4-benzenedicarboxylate synthesized at room temperature

Loera-Serna S., Medina-Díaz J.C., Carmona Téllez S., Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, MX

For many years the lanthanides have been considered as a series of complex, difficult to understand elements, however, research on them has not been adequate. In view of the many properties that have, in the [...]

Tuning of Nafion® by HKUST-1 as coordination network to Enhance Proton Conductivity for Fuel Cell Applications

Kim H.-J., Talukdar K., Choi S-J, Kyungpook National University, KR

MOFs have highly ordered structures and modular nature that can serve as a scaffold to anchor acidic groups and improve efficient proton transfer pathways. HKUST-1, a MOF material containing CuII–paddle wheel type nodes and 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate [...]
