New method for Ccmk-3 synthesis modified with zr applied in h2 storage

Abstract

In this work we develop a novel direct synthesis method of modified CMK-3 with zirconium oxide. This modification occurs during the synthesis process. Our assessment includes a one-step synthesis of nanostructured mesoporous carbon modified with zirconium oxide, the characterization of the resulting material by XRD, N2 adsorption, XPS, UV-Vis, TEM, SEM and Raman. We show the enhancement of the storage capacity of the composite material, compared to bare CMK-3.
