Abstract

Since the inception of nanomaterials, sizes below 100 nm, they have been continuously shown to have interesting physical, chemical, electrical, optical and mechanical properties. These nanomaterials possess small size, high surface area, variations in morphologies and active sites making them suitable for catalytic, magnetic, sorbents, energy, biological and environmental applications. They are prepared or synthesized either by physical and / or chemical methods. The usual methods employed in making the nanomaterials include sol-gel / solvothermal / deposition (Electro, physical vapor and chemical vapor) / mechanochemical / ceramic methods, etc. But the formation of nanomaterials after thermal decomposition of Metal- Organic Frameworks (MOFs) is quite interesting, thoughtprovoking; and is also an economical and environmentally benign approach [1].

Keywords: MOFs; MOF-Derived Nanomaterials; Fuel Cell Applications
