Study on Optical Properties of Cu-MOF Nano Metal Oxide Composites

A copper metal organic frame work (MOF) is synthesized by taking equimolar terephthalic acid and copper nitrate and its MOF /nanocomposite are fabricated with silver oxide and reduced graphene oxide nanocompounds. It is characterized by XRD, UV-Vis spectroscopy and FTIR. The band gap of the MOF/ nanocomposites is reduced when compare to individuals. This reduction of band gap is due to a slight change in their individual band gaps or lattice distortion hybridization leads to shifting of the energy level.
