Electrospun zeolite-templated carbon composite fibres for hydrogen storage applications
Annamalai, Perushini; Bessarabov, Dmitri; Musyoka, Nicholas M.; Ren, Jianwei; Langmi, Henrietta W. (Springer, 2017)The current study explored the application of the electrospinning technique to produce multi-hierarchical composites for hydrogen storage applications. Predetermined control of fibre porosity is expected to enable production ... -
Microwave-assisted modulated synthesis of zirconium-based metal-organic framework (Zr-MOF) for hydrogen storage applications
Ren, Jianwei; Bessarabov, Dmitri; Segakweng, Tshiamo; Langmi, Henrietta W.; Musyoka, Nicholas M. (Hanser, 2014)Zirconium-based metal–organic framework (Zr-MOF) was synthesized using a microwave-assisted modulated method in a short reaction time of 5 min. The Zr-MOF material was highly crystalline with well-defined octahedral shaped ... -
Modulated synthesis of zirconium-metal organic framework (Zr-MOF) for hydrogen storage applications
Ren, Jianwei; Bessarabov, Dmitri; Langmi, Henrietta W.; North, Brian C.; Mathe, Mkhulu (Elsevier, 2014)A modulated synthesis of Zr-metal organic framework (Zr-MOF) with improved ease of handling and decreased reaction time is reported to yield highly crystalline Zr-MOF with well-defined octahedral shaped crystals for practical ... -
Synthesis of a hybrid MIL-101(Cr)/ZTC composite for hydrogen storage applications
Musyoka, Nicholas; Bessarabov, Dmitri; Ren, Jianwei; Annamalai, Perushini; Langmi, Henrietta W. (Springer, 2016)Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) hybrid composites have recently attracted considerable attention in hydrogen storage applications. In this study a hybrid composite of zeolite templated carbon (ZTC) and Cr-based MOF (MIL-101) ... -
Synthesis of rGO/Zr-MOF composite for hydrogen storage application
Musyoka, Nicholas M.; Bessarabov, Dmitri; Ren, Jianwei; Langmi, Henrietta W.; North, Brian C. (Elsevier, 2017)A composite material consisting of Zr-based metal organic framework (Zr-MOF) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was successfully synthesized by an in situ method. The aim of the study was to transfer some of the graphene's ... -
Thermal treatment induced transition from Zn3(OH)2(BDC)2 (MOF-69c) to Zn4O(BDC)3 (MOF-5)
Ren, Jianwei; Bessarabov, Dmitri; Rogers, Dave E.C.; Segakweng, Tshiamo; Langmi, Henrietta W. (Hanser, 2014)A simple thermal treatment induced transition from Zn3(OH)2(BDC)2 (MOF-69c) to Zn4O(BDC)3 (MOF-5) is reported. Phase crystallinity, pore characteristics and hydrogen storage capacities of the resulting crystals were ...
