In this article, we demonstrate a rapid and facile method for in-situ growth of metal-organic framework (MOF) films on Cu or Zn metal substrates by sonochemical techniques. The substrates were first treated with a strong oxidizing agent to convert the metal to the corresponding metal hydroxide. Ultrasonic irradiation provided the energy to drive the reaction between the metal ion sources and organic ligands. Four MOF films (Cu-BTC, Cu-BDC, ZIF-8 and MOF-5) were successfully fabricated by this approach. The produced films were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. The effects of organic ligand concentration and ultrasonic irradiation time on MOF film synthesis were also systematically investigated. The rapid and facile fabrication method presented in this article could serve a new route to grow MOF films on various gas sensor surfaces. Of the MOF films, ZIF-8 film was tested as a potential methane sensor.

It is well known that metals and metal oxides with different crystal facets exhibit varying sensitivity in gas sensors, but this strategy is rarely used in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Herein, we proved for the first time that Cu metal-organic with high energy crystal facets (Cu-MOF-74-300) shows a much higher sensitivity than the low energy crystal facets (Cu-MOF-74-110), with a up to 2 times response more than Cu-MOF-74-110 and ultra-low limit of detection (LOD) of 68 ppb to toluene vapors. In addition, this strategy was further demonstrated on MOF-14 and HKUST-1, which are also Cu-centered and exhibit clear recognition effects on benzene and xylene, respectively.

A new series of metal-organic nanotubes was constructed through one-dimensional assembly using molecular triangles or molecular squares composed of paddlewheel dirhodium complexes and bidentate axial ligands. The metal-organic nanotubes were significantly different from conventional solid metal-organic framework (MOF) motifs. They exhibit good solubility owing to the branched side chains at their periphery and demonstrate high orientation capabilities in thin films owing to their anisotropic structure.

Programming and synthesizing bifunctional materials for regulating the output of triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) and their photocatalytic efficiency is a promising strategy for energy harvesting to build self-powered systems. Herein, we tackle this challenge by introducing metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as molecular catalysts and triboelectric layers for self-powered photocatalytic systems. A zeolite-like mixed-valence MOF () and a ladder-structured MOF () were obtained through structural transformation.

Understanding the structure of thin films is essential for successful applications of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), such as low k-dielectrics in electronic devices. This study focuses on the thin film formation of the 3D nanoporous MOF Cu(bdc)(dabco). The thin films are prepared by a layer-by-layer technique with varying deposition cycles (1 to 50).

While the accessible pores render an enormous variety of functionalities to the bulk of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), the outer surfaces exposed by these crystalline materials also offer unique characteristics not available when using conventional substrates. By grafting hydrocarbon chains to well-defined MOF thin films (SURMOFs) prepared using layer-by-layer methods, we were able to fabricate superhydrophobic substrates with static water contact angles over 160°. A detailed theoretical modelling of the hydrocarbon chains grafted on the outer SURMOF surface with well-defined spacing between anchoring points reveals that the grafted hydrocarbon chains behave similarly to polymer brushes during wetting, where conformational entropy is traded with mixing entropy.
