The nanoporous metal-organic framework (MOF), MOF-76(Nd) [neodymium (III) benzene
1,3,5-tricarboxylate], has been synthesized, characterized, and tested for hydrogen
storage and humidity sensing applications. These synthesized MOFs were
characterized using scanning and transmission electron microscopy techniques.
Thermal analysis revealed that, after the dehydration process, the compound showed
high thermal stability up to 500°C. Hydrogen adsorption/desorption measurements of
MOF-76(Nd) were performed at 77K and 20bar and the material was further used for the
humidity measurement at room temperature.
