  • The text highlights the growing need for eco-friendly energy storage and the potential of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to address this demand. Despite their promise, challenges in MOF-based energy storage include stability, reproducible synthesis, cost-effectiveness, and scalability. Recent progress in supercapacitor materials, particularly over the last decade, has aimed to overcome these challenges. The review focuses on the morphological characteristics and synthesis methods of MOFs used in supercapacitors to achieve improved electrochemical performance. Various types of MOFs, including monometallic, binary, and tri-metallic compositions, as well as derivatives like hybrid nanostructures, sulfides, phosphides, and carbon composites, are explored for their energy storage potential. The review emphasizes the quest for superior electrochemical performance and stability with MOF-based materials. By analyzing recent research, the review underscores the potential of MOF-based supercapacitors to meet the increasing demands for high power and energy density solutions in the field of energy storage.

  • This paper presents the experimental effects of lubricant with nanodiamond particles in sliding friction. In order to improve the performance of lubricants many additives are used, such as MoS2, cadmium chloride, indium, sulfides, and phosphides. These additives are harmful to human health and to the environment, so alternatives are necessary. One such alternative is nanodiamond powder, which has a large surface area. In order to investigate the effect of nanodiamonds in lubricants under sliding friction, they are dispersed in the lubricant at a variety of concentrations (0 wt%, 0.1 wt%, 0.3 wt%, 0.5 wt%, and 1 wt%) using the matrix synthesis method. Friction and wear tests are performed according to the ASTM G99 method using a pin-on-disc tester at room temperature. The specimens used in this experiment are AISI 52100 ball bearings and AISI 1020 steel discs. During the test, lubricant mixed with nanodiamond is supplied constantly to keep the two bodies separated by a lubricant film. To maintain boundary lubrication, the speed is set to 0.18 m/s and a load of 294 N is applied to the disc through the pin. Results are recorded by using workbench software over the test duration of 10 minutes. Experimental results show that when the concentration of nanodiamond increases, the coefficient of friction decreases. However, above a nanodiamond concentration of 0.5 wt%, both the coefficient of friction and wear volume increase. From this experiment, the optimum concentration of nanodiamond showing a minimum coefficient of friction of 0.09 and minimum wear volume of 0.82 nm2 was 0.5 wt%.

  • 고효율의 물 분해 시스템은 수소 발생 반응(HER)과 산소 발생 반응(OER) 각각에서의 촉매로 인한 전기화학적 반응에서의 효율로 인해 향상되는 높은 과전압의 감소가 수반되어야 한다. 그 중에서도 전이 금속 기반의 화합물(산화물, 황화물, 인화물, 그리고 질화물)은 현재 상용되고 있는 귀금속을 대체할 촉매 재료로써 주목받고 있다. 본 연구에서, 우리는 FESEM 분석을 통해 최적의 단분산된 Co3[Co(CN)6]2 PBAs를 합성하고 XRD, FT-IR 분석을 통하여 결정성을 확인하고 TG-DTA를 통해 PBAs의 열적 거동을 확인하였다. 그리고 합성된 최적의 Co3[Co(CN)6]2 PBAs를 열처리해서 단분산된 Co3O4나노 큐브를 합성하였고 XRD를 통해 이의 결정성을 확인하고 OER 측정을 진행하였다. 최종적으로 합성된 Co3O4 나노 큐브는 10 mA·cm-2의 전류 밀도에서 312 mV의 낮은 과전압과 96.6 mV·dec-1의 낮은 Tafel slope을 보인다.
