Abstract
A nickel/copper benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate metal-organic framework (MOF) was prepared through a rapid and effective electrochemical process. The properties of the obtained catalyst were studied with Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). The electrocatalytic behavior of the synthesized catalyst in an oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) was studied with a rotating disk electrode in alkaline media and compared to the catalytic behavior of a platinum commercial catalyst at the same conditions. A comparison of the obtained results showed that the synthesized catalyst showed more current density and positive onset potential than the commercial platinum catalyst in ORR. This work introduces an effective and rapid electrochemical synthesis of high-porosity MOF compounds for advanced electrocatalytic applications.
