Nanoconfinement of lithium borohydride in Cu-MOFs towards low temperature dehydrogenation†
Abstract
Successful synthesis and investigation of a new material that uses copper-metal–organic frameworks (Cu-MOFs) as the template for loading LiBH4 are reported. The nanoconfinement of LiBH4 in the pores of Cu-MOFs results in an interaction between LiBH4 and Cu2+ ions, enabling the LiBH4@Cu-MOFs system to achieve a much lower
