Abstract:
Disclosed is a metal-organic framework composite including a host metal-organic framework, and nano metal-organic frameworks embedded In the host metal-organic framework. The host metal-organic framework and the nana metal-organic frameworks include different metals and organic ligands. The metal-organic framework composite has a structure in which the nano metal-organic frameworks are embedded in the host metal-organic framework. Due to this structure, defects are formed at the interfaces between the host metal-organic framework and the nano metal-organic frameworks, enabling the application of the metal-organic framework composite to gas storages with greatly improved gas storage efficiency. The metal-organic framework composite can be used as a gas adsorbent with very high efficiency due to its very large specific surface area. In addition, the metal-organic framework composite has high storage capacities for hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and methane and is thus very attractive from the viewpoint of industrial application. The metals and the ligands can be combined to make the metal-organic framework composite highly resistant to pressure, temperature, and water. Therefore, the metal-organic framework composite can also be applied to filters that can directly capture carbon dioxide from factory chimneys or can adsorb pollutants in water. Also disclosed are a method for producing the metal-organic framework composite and a gas storage using the metal-organic framework composite.

Abstract:
The present invention discloses a method for improving solar energy conversion efficiency using metal oxide photocatalysts having an energy band of core-shell structure for ultraviolet (UV) ray and visible light absorption, comprising a first process of forming a nanoparticle thin film layer; a second process of preparing a core-shell metal oxide on metal oxide nanoparticles by a plasma reaction under a hydrogen and nitrogen gas atmosphere, and a third process of depositing a transition metal on surfaces of core-shell metal oxide nanoparticles to produce a photocatalyst for energy conversion. A great amount of oxygen vacancies is formed in a shell region by the core-shell metal oxide to achieve effects of improving transfer ability of electron-hole pairs excited by light, and extending a wavelength range of absorbable light to a visible light region by changing a band-gap structure.
