“…The as-synthesized Ni/MOF gives two distinct diffraction patterns at 9.7 and 22.2° corresponding to the Miller indices of Ni-MOF (100) and Ni-MOF (101), respectively. 25 , 28 These characteristic peaks are a clear indication for the complete synthesis of the as-synthesized Ni-MOF, and similar diffraction patterns have previously been reported for Ni-based MOFs. 29 − 31 After annealing at high temperature, the frameworks of the as-synthesized Ni-MOF decomposed to produce nickel nanoparticles-supported MOF-derived carbon (Ni/MOFDC) with different diffraction patterns observed at 26.3, 44.9, 52.1, 76.7, 93.1, and 98.5°, attributable to broad hexagonal graphitic carbon, MOFDC (002), Ni(111), Ni(200), Ni(220), Ni(311), and Ni(222), respectively.…”
