Surface functionalization via decorating nanometal particles on MWCNTs for hydrogen uptake through a spillover mechanism is the key for hydrogen energy storage for transport sectors.
A novel three dimensional coordination polymer [Sm(2,5-pydc)(NO 3)(H 2 O)]•(H 2 O) (2,5-pydc = 2,5-pyridine dicarboxylate) (1) had been synthesized hydrothermally and characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. This coordination polymer crystallized in the monoclinic space group P2/n with cell parameters a = 9.3610(4) Å, b = 8.3498(3) Å, c = 16.7159(8) Å, β = 106.31(0) • , V = 1253.98(184) Å 3. Thermogravimetric analysis revealed that complex 1 is stable up to 400 • C which on photoexcitation at 365 nm exhibited yellow emission at 583 nm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
