Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are a new generation of functional material which amalgamate favorable properties of both organic materials and inorganic useful metals. Owing to this harmony of traits, these MOFs have been employed as active catalysts, gas separators and storage materials. A new avenue recently established is their utilization as active electrode material for EAP actuators.
This study introduces a technique to tailor the desirable properties of MOF derivatives. It is found herein for a novel Co-MOF material, that by tuning synthesis parameters the pore size and hence active surface area of the as-synthesized Co-MOF derivatives can be enhanced. These novel Co-MOF derivatives (CoPCS) show drastically improved electrochemical properties and far superior actuation in terms of robustness and durability.
