About Paper:

The development of efficient, sustainable energy storage and conversion technologies is a critical challenge in addressing global energy demands. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as transformative materials due to their structural tunability, high surface areas, and versatility. This research focuses on Nickel-based MOFs incorporating Zinc (Ni-Zn) and Molybdenum (Ni-Mo) using 2- methylimidazole (MeIM) as a precursor, with varying surfactants such as polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), urea, and hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA). These MOFs are synthesized via a low-temperature solvothermal method under environmentally friendly conditions to preserve the integrity of organic linkers and enhance their catalytic and capacitive properties. The combination of these strategies enables the creation of porous MOF-based materials with high surface areas and abundant active sites, optimized for energy applications. Characterization techniques, including X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), are employed to confirm the structural and morphological features of the synthesized MOFs. Electrochemical evaluations, such as cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), are used to assess performance metrics, including charge-discharge stability, energy density, and overpotential. By exploring the effects of linker and surfactant variation, this research advances the design of high-performance electrode materials for electrocatalysis and energy storage applications. Integrating sustainable practices with innovative material design, this study contributes to the development of clean energy solutions while addressing critical challenges in energy conversion and storage technologies.
