Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a method for easily controlling the shape and distribution of pores in a porous metal oxide. This is achieved by heat treating a coordination polymer, which results in a porous metal oxide with needle-shaped or plate-shaped particles and a multilateral shape. The average diameter of the pores ranges from about 20 to about 100 nm. The method allows for easy adjustment of the porous metal oxide's pore size and shape, making it useful in various applications such as catalysts, sensors, and membranes.

Problems solved by technology

Nano-materials may have similar effects as porous electrode materials, but have high contact resistance between the particles of the nano-materials and it is difficult to manufacture electrodes formed of nano-materials.
Therefore, practical application of nano-materials is difficult.
It is difficult to prepare porous metal oxides in the form of a powder.
However, processing costs of the template method are high and mass production is difficult.

example 1

[0054]37.33 g of nickel (II) acetate tetrahydrate and 19.96 g of trimesic acid were added to 500 ml of distilled water and stirred at 55° C. for 2 hours. Powders produced in the solution were removed using a nylon filter, washed with distilled water several times, and then dried in an oven at 80° C. for 12 hours to obtain a crystalline coordination polymer. FIG. 1 is a scanning electron microscope (SEM) image of the crystalline coordination polymer prepared according to this example.

[0055]The obtained crystalline coordination polymer was subjected to heat treatment under an Ar atmosphere at 600° C. for 1 hour to prepare a carbon-nickel composite having the same shape as the untreated crystalline coordination polymer and a reduced volume. FIG. 2 is a SEM image of the obtained carbon-metal composite.

[0056]FIGS. 3A and 3B are SEM images of a porous nickel oxide obtained by heat treating the obtained carbon-nickel composite in air at 700° C. for 1 hour. FIGS. 3A and 3B show that the oxi...

[0061]14.93 g of nickel (II) acetate tetrahydrate, 3.73 g of cobalt (II) acetate tetrahydrate, and 9.98 g of trimesic acid were added to 500 ml of distilled water and stirred at 55° C. for 2 hours. Powders produced in the solution were removed using a nylon filter, washed with distilled water several times, and then dried in an oven at 80° C. for 12 hours to obtain a needle-shaped coordination polymer crystal.

[0062]The obtained crystalline coordination polymer was subjected to a heat treatment process under an Ar atmosphere at 900° C. for 1 hour to prepare a carbon-(nickel, cobalt) composite, and then subjected to a heat treatment process at 700° C. for 1 hour to prepare a porous Ni0.8Co0.2O material. FIGS. 12A and 12B are SEM images of the prepared porous Ni0.8Co0.2O material.
