Thermal stability of optical fiber metal organic framework based on graphene oxide and nickel and its hydrogen adsorption application

The electrochemistry (EC) method was used to synthesize graphene oxide-nickel (GO-Ni) metal organic framework (MOF) that has the thickness of μm-level. The MOF's thermal stability and hydrogen adsorption and desorption capacity were measured by using an optical fiber Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) sensor. This MZI was fabricated by core-offset fusion splicing one section of single mode fiber (SMF) between two SMFs. Experimental results showed that the GO-Ni MOF could be stabilized, even as the environmental temperature reached 125 °C. The MOF showed good hydrogen adsorption ability for the the MOF and hydrogen molecules's interactions.
