這份研究是在於將 氧化銅嵌入一種多孔的金屬有機框架 沸石咪錯骨架 。這種合成的方式在一般條件下即可合成，也就是二十度攝氏以及一大氣壓。藉由 X 光繞射分析儀、穿透式電子顯微鏡以及比表面積與 隙度分析儀可以確定氧化銅是嵌入多孔材料內的，而非只是黏在表面上。布拉晶格圖的兩個明顯的波峰共存以及孔隙度空間下降了百分之七十可以予以佐證。銅的奈米結構本身又是高結晶結構的。應用的部分選擇了氧化銅嵌入多孔材料的合體，當作甲醇氧化的電催化劑。循環伏安法以及電化學阻抗的測試都是在探討甲醇氧化的效率以及反應在電解液是由零點五體積濃度的氫氧化鈉以及一點零體積濃度的甲醇混合。藉由此電催化劑的加持，氧化效率與各方面的表現較一般金屬氧化物來的佳。再者，最常見的甲醇氧化催化劑就是 白金。比起白金，銅在價格上的優勢顯而易見。在使用氧化銅嵌入多孔材料當電催化劑後，最後一的電流密度為第一圈的兩倍還有剩。這不但證明此方法可行，也會激發其他金屬氧化物，像是氧化鋅或是氧化鐵，在未來燃料應用方面都可以
有更多發揮的空間。

CCopper oxide embedded zeolitic imidazolate framework (CuO@ZIF 8) is synthesized under normal temperature and pressure (NTP) condition (293K & 1atm). By testing through x ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy and nitrogen adsorption desorption isotherm it is confirmed that the copper oxide (CuO) is embedded into the porous ZIF 8 material.
Brag peaks of both CuO and ZIF 8 peaks exist and the isotherm analyzation proved the porosity, although the pore size volume had a 70% decrease after CuO was embedded into ZIF 8. The copper nanoparticles itself is a highly crystalline structure. The methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) performance using CuO@ZIF 8 as an electrocatalyst was examined using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry with an electrolyte well mixed by 0.5M NaOH and 1M CH 3 OH. The electrocatalyst prepared in this work showed a better performance comparing to the bare transition metal oxides. However, using CuO is much cheaper and easier to prepare comparing to platinum, which is one of the most common electrocatalyst used for MOR process. By using CuO@ZIF 8 as an electrocatalyst, the current density after twenty cycles was 1.57 mA/cm 2 , which was more than two times higher comparing to the beginning cycle. It motivate s other metal oxide, such as iron oxide or zinc oxide, for the catalytic reactions and a promising idea in the fuel cell related application.
