Synthesis of nickel-based metal organic framework using simplified solvothermal method

Abstract

This study seeks to refine the solvothermal synthesis method to efficiently produce metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) specifically Ni (C6H5NO2)(H2O). The streamlined solvothermal approach demonstrated in this research offers a straightforward and effective means for the preparation of MOFs, potentially enabling large-scale production. To characterize the functional groups, crystal structures, and surface properties of the synthesized MOFs, we employed Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis. Our findings provide valuable insights into the relationship between synthesis parameters and the properties of the MOFs, allowing for the customization of MOF attributes on a small scale. These advancements have significant implications across various fields, including drug delivery, gas storage, and catalysis, where MOFs play a crucial role in addressing contemporary challenges.
