The effect of nickel ion concentration on the structural, optical, and electrical properties of Ni-H3BTC-MOF was investigated. It was found that the porosity increased with an increasing concentration of nickel ions, while the real permittivity and loss tangent decreased. The highest modulation depth obtained was 4.48% for the sample with a nickel ion concentration of 2 mmol.
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of crystalline hybrid porous materials that have drawn considerable research interest owing to their tunable characteristics and wide range of applications. In this study, we investigated the effect of the nickel ion concentration on the structural, optical, and electrical properties of Ni-H3BTC-MOF for the potential nonlinear saturable absorbance phenomenon. Structural analysis was performed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis, whereas diffuse reflectance UV-Vis-NIR spectroscopy was used to characterize the optical properties. The AC transport properties of the as-prepared Ni-H3BTC-MOF were investigated using electrical impedance spectroscopy. It was found that the porosity increased with an increasing concentration of nickel ions. In contrast, the real permittivity and loss tangent decreased. The highest modulation depth obtained was 4.48% for the sample with a nickel ion concentration of 2 mmol. This performance has been attributed to the low loss tangent (0.06-0.26), low real permittivity (11.3-23.9) F/m, median porosity (7.08 nm) and layered flower-shaped morphology of the material, all of which are desirable for the nonlinear saturable absorbance phenomenon.
