An Efficient Energy Storage Electrode from Conversion of MOFs (Metal Organic Framework) to CNTs (Carbon Nanotubes) on Green Template

Abstract

The bulk energy density of wood chips may be between 40 and 50 percent that of solid wood. If wood chips are to be reliably utilized in combustion equipment, especially small-scale and residential equipment, they must meet an appropriate quality requirement. It continues to be the most significant renewable energy source today, contributing around 6% of the world's total primary energy output. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are crystalline porous organic- inorganic hybrid materials with a remarkably high interior surface area. Carbon nanotubes are cylindrical molecules made of sheets of single-layer carbon atoms that have been wrapped up (graphene).The in-situ growth of CNT’s under optimized set of conditions can be achieved by calcinations of Metal organic framework (MOF).The current synthesis will be done by hydrothermal and pyrolysis process. Deposition of MOF will be done by vacuum. The resulted Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) can be well aligned embedded with green template. MOF is converted into CNTs by using carbonization method. The composition of the sample was investigated by different characterization techniques such as Raman spectroscopy and functional group observed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, while the electrochemical properties were studied by cyclic voltammetry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The Specific capacitance value is 1938.4207 Fg-1 show the enhancement of conductivity.
