Effect of Functional Group-Modified UiO-66 on the Dehydrogenation of Ammonia Borane

Ammonia borane (AB) has attracted much attention in the field of solid-state hydrogen storage due to its high hydrogen storage capacity. Nanoconfinement in UiO-66 can reduce the hydrogen release temperature. In particular, terephthalic acid was used as a linker to further improve the dehydrogenation...

description Ammonia borane (AB) has attracted much attention in the field of solid-state hydrogen storage due to its high hydrogen storage capacity. Nanoconfinement in UiO-66 can reduce the hydrogen release temperature. In particular, terephthalic acid was used as a linker to further improve the dehydrogenation properties through the modification of -NH<sub>2</sub>, -OH, -NO<sub>2</sub>, -Br, and -F groups. The hydrogen release content of 0.5AB/UiO-66 was 1.98 wt.%, whereas the hydrogen release content of UiO-66-2OH modified by -OH groups increased to 3.85 wt.%. The non-covalent interaction results show that -NH<sub>2</sub> and -OH preferred adsorption with -BH<sub>3</sub>, and the H in -NH<sub>2</sub> and -OH were able to interact directly with the H in AB to modify the dehydrogenation process of AB, whereas -NO<sub>2</sub>, -Br, and -F indirectly affected the charge density of hydrogen atoms in AB to alter the dehydrogenation property of AB. The modification of functional groups provides a theoretical basis for the design of high-performance MOF nanoconfinement AB composite hydrogen storage materials.
