Abstract
In this work, Cobalt (II) doped MOF-5 thin film was successfully synthesized and fabricated using spin coating technique. The main purpose of this research is to study the fabrication process of Cobalt (II) doped MOF-5 thin film and characterize the obtained samples. Cobalt (II) doped MOF-5 was characterized using XRD, Scherrer equation, SEM and EDX. Three prominent peaks were observed in the synthesized powder of Cobalt (II) doped MOF-5 attributable to the reflection planes of (200), (220) and (224) at 6.86°, 10.07° and 15.3° whereas two prominent peaks were observed in Cobalt (II) doped MOF-5 thin film attributes to the reflection plane if (200) and (400) at 9.05° and 13.7°. The morphology of Cobalt (II) doped MOF-5 thin film was faceted structure with an average size of ca 1 m. In addition, the morphology of Cobalt (II) doped MOF-5 thin film assisted with cubic crystal structure.
