The search for materials with structural characteristics that allow proper
adsorption of either greenhouse gases (CO 2 , CH 4 ) or energy carrier gases (H 2 ) is
nowadays one of the main research lines in the scientific community.
This contribution describes the preparation and characterization of a composite
based on a metal-organic structure (ZIF-8) and graphene oxide. A chemical
synthesis path was proposed to obtain a three-dimensional porous lattice that
supports a carbon structure leading to micro- and mesoporosity present in the
composite. IR, Raman, TGA, TEM, XPRD and textural analysis were carried out.
Pore size and surface area values can be tuned due to the structural
characteristics present in the two structures which are combined to give better
features such as: structural versatility, high surface area, greater chemical and
thermal stability for the selective adsorption of gases. The composite was tested
in methane and hydrogen storage.
