Depositing thin films of pristine metal-organic framework (MOF) on top of a lattice-matched and molecularly doped MOF could provide a new path for generating electronic heterostructures of MOFs with well-defined interfaces. Herein, the CuBTC (top-layer)/TCNQ@CuBTC (bottom-layer) system is fabricated by sequential deposition on a functionalized Au substrate, and clear-cut rectification of electrical current across the thin film was observed at room-temperature. Interestingly, the electrical current rectification ratio (RR) was found to be significantly influenced by the effect of temperature (400 K), resulting in a remarkable figure in the domain of MOFs.

The optical modulation of ferroelectric polarization constitutes a transformative, non-contact strategy for the precise manipulation of ferroelectric properties, heralding advancements in optically stimulated ferroelectric devices. Despite its potential, progress in this domain is constrained by material limitations and the intricate nature of the underlying mechanisms. Recent studies have achieved efficient regulation of ferroelectric polarization and thermal conductivity in chiral ferroelectric thin films through the application of left- and right-handed circularly polarized light (LCP and RCP).

The unique optical properties of perovskite quantum dots (PQDs), particularly the tunable photoluminescence (PL) across the visible spectrum, make them a promising tool for chlorinated detection. However, the correlation between the fluorescence emission shift behavior and the interface of phase transformation in PQDs has not been thoroughly explored. In this study, we synthesized CsPbBr PQDs via the hot-injection method and demonstrated their ability to detect chlorinated volatile compounds such as HCl and NaOCl through a halide exchange process between the PQDs' solid thin film and the chlorinated vapor phase.
