Abstract

Cu-benzene–1, 3, 5-tricarboxylate (Cu-BTC) coating on carbon fiber paper (CFP@Cu-BTC) is synthesized by using the seed-induced hydrothermal method to improve H2 adsorption capacity, CO2/H2 selectivity, thermal and electrical conductivity of pure Cu-BTC. The electrical conductivity, effective thermal conductivity (ETC), CO2 and H2 adsorption capacity of CFP@Cu-BTC composites synthesized for 3, 9, 18, and 24 h are investigated, respectively. Results show the H2 adsorption capacity of CFP@Cu-BTC (9 h) is similar to that of pure Cu-BTC. The value of the selectivity of equimolar CO2/H2 (18 h) is 58–209 at 0–100 kPa and 273.15 K. The ETC of CFP@Cu-BTC is 17–25 times higher than that of pure Cu-BTC. The electrical conductivity is 1.3 × 1011–1.6 × 1011 times higher compared to that of pure Cu-BTC. The CFP@Cu-BTC composite can be used as a promising material for H2 storage and electrodes of ultra-capacitor.
