Hydrogen storage in a sandwich structure by assembly of BNs and MOFs†
Abstract
Hybrid NUS-8/BNs with a sandwich-like structure were synthesized by layered h-BNs and MOF-NUS-8 via assembly. Thanks to the more abundant exposed binding sites and partial ionic bonding properties of BN, the NUS-8/BN exhibits greatly improved H2 adsorption capacity, which is 1.7 times that of h-BN nanosheets.
