What are MOFs?
• Metals → Transition metals or
alkaline earth metals
• Linkers → Polyamines, carboxylates,
multidentate with N or O donor
atoms
Unique characteristics:
1. High specific surface area
2. Porous structure
3. Controllable morphology
4. Functional linkers and metal sites
Leading to various applications
such as:
Our application:
Use MOF in energy storage applications
→ MOFs in Li-ion batteries and
Supercapacitor electrode materials
2
Problem Analysis Mechanism
Deintercalation of Li ions from
cathode, ions move towards anode
via electrolyte and intercalate,
gaining and storing energy in the
process.
This is reversed while discharging.
Drawbacks
1. Poor Li-ion storage in electrode
material
2. Poor charge retention
3. Limited Energy Density/Power
Density
4. Short cycle life
5. Irreversible
intercalation/deintercalation with
prolonged use
3
Objectives
Overcome mentioned drawbacks by incorporating MOF/MOF-Composites in electrode materials
MOF significance and contribution to overcoming drawbacks
1. High surface area → Allow for greater adsorption of electrolyte and facilitate surface transport
2. Large pore volume → Increased storage capacity of Li-ions and therefore specific capacity
3. Metal sites as nodes → Act as active sites for redox reactions
4. Open structure → Allows for effective and reversible insertion/extraction for ions increasing cycle
life and stability
These characteristics will allow us to synthesize material capable of delivering high energy
density and power density, both! This is the requirement of future electronics.

Synthesis Procedure
General Procedure
1. Add metallic salt to ligand and
mix using magnetic stirrer for 30
minutes.
2. Place solution in autoclave than
transfer autoclave to oven for 12
hours at 1250C.
3. Once removed solution is
centrifuged with deionized water
and ethanol to extract MOF
powder and remove any
unreacted material.
4. Powder is then placed in oven
again for 8 hours at 600C for
drying.
5. After drying we obtain MOF in dry
powder form

Our Progress
Composition 1: Ni/Co nitrates salts with terephthalic ligand. 5 MOF powders were prepared by
varying the Ni/Co Ratio
Composition 2: Addition of GNP to 2:1 Ni/Co-MOF prepared in Experiment 1. 3 MOF powders were
prepared by varying the mass of GNPs added
Composition 4: Ni/Co nitrates salts with 2-MethylImidazole ligand. 5 MOF powders were prepared by
varying the Ni/Co Ratio
Composition 3: Addition of CNT to 2:1 Ni/Co-MOF prepared in Experiment 1. 3 MOF powders were
prepared by varying the mass of CNTs added
A total of 16 MOF powders were synthesized and analyzed by using electrochemical
characterization to find the optimum material systems.
