Cost effective and low energy consuming hydrothermal synthesis of Ni based MOF

The mesoporous metal organic framework structure of Ni-BTC was successfully synthesized in a low temperature and short operation time via hydrothermal synthesis process.Such operational route virtuously consumed less electrical and thermal energy.It proved time saving along with acceptable product yield (38%).The product was characterized through FESEM, FT-IR, XRD and N 2 gas adsorption measurement.Hightemperature stability of synthesized MOF was gauged by diffraction indexing of XRD patterns of as synthesized and heat treated samples of MOFs.The mathematically calculated particle size of Ni-BTC was found to be 42nm.
