Copper nanoparticle-embellished Zr-based metal-organic framework for electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction

Chem Commun (Camb). 2023 Aug 24;59(69):10444-10447. doi: 10.1039/d3cc03294a.

Abstract

Copper nanoparticles (Cu NPs) have gained immense popularity in catalysis by virtue of their impressive properties and earth abundance. Herein, we incorporated small-sized copper nanoparticles into the amine-functionalized NU-1000 MOF and used this composite material as an effective catalyst for electrocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution Reaction (HER) studies.
