Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are crystalline compounds composed of metal ions (or metal clusters) and organic ligands. Chiral MOFs have been successfully utilized as novel materials for the separation of chiral enantiomers by chromatography, demonstrating excellent chiral separation performance. In this study, a chiral MOF-modified silica monolithic capillary column was used for pressurized capillary electrochromatography.

Here, the inkjet-printed silver thin films based on nanoparticles (NP) ink and metal-organic decomposition (MOD) ink were cured by the UV curing method and heat curing method. We not only compared the electrical resistivity and adhesion strength of two types of silver films, but also studied the effect of different curing methods on silver films.

However, restricted by equipment and inks, the feature size of printed dots or lines with conventional inkjet printing is usually limited to several tens of micrometers, which could not fit the requirements for the fabrication of large-area, high-resolution microscale, even nanoscale, structures. Therefore, various technical means were developed for breaking the equipment limits.
