Abstract

Polyaniline-based metal-organic framework (PANI/MOF) composite was synthesized by chemical oxidation of aniline monomer in the presence of MOF content for practical usages as effective hydrogen production. PANI and composite were characterized by ultraviolet visible (UV-vis) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS, EDX), selected area electron diffraction (SAED) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). Detailed structural and morphological characterizations established that PANI is wrapping MOF. The XRD, Raman and FTIR analyses showed that MOF was incorporated on the backbone of PANI through electrostatic interactions. This was supported by AAS analysis, revealing the amount of copper metal present in the composite. The determined energy band gap of the composite was in good agreement with previously reported catalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Experiments probing the thermal, electrochemical, HER and photophysical properties revealed that the composite was very stable and robust and had exceptionally properties. Significant HER was generated by the composite in dimethyl sulphoxide/tetrabutylammonium perchlorate (DMSO/TBAP) supporting electrolyte in the presence of hydrogen source by applying a negative potential to the electrode. PANI and MOF also generated a weak HER as compared to composite.
