金属有机框架（MOFs）和相关材料类别在气体储存、分离和催化等应用中引起了相当大的关注。相比之下，专注于电子设备潜在用途的研究还处于起步阶段。已经证明了几种感测概念，其中使用M0F的可定制化学来增强灵敏度或提供化学特异性，但仅在少数情况下M0F是实际装置的组成部分。一些导电的MOFs的合成和它们已知的结构灵活性表明，可以构建利用这些特性的基于MOFs的电子器件。然而，很明显，需要新的制造方法来利用MOF的独特性质并将其应用扩展到电子电路领域。在这篇概念文章中，我们描述了制造电子器件所需的基本功能元件，并总结了相关MOF研究的现状，然后回顾了最近的工作，其中MOF作为电子器件中的有源元件。最后，我们提出了一个高层次的路线图，为设备相关的MOF研究，其目的是激发有关开发这些材料的应用，包括传感，光子学和微电子学的MOF社区内的思考。
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and related material classes are attracting considerable attention for applications such as gas storage, separations, and catalysis. In contrast, research focused on potential uses in electronic devices is in its infancy. Several sensing concepts in which the tailorable chemistry of MOFs is used to enhance sensitivity or provide chemical specificity have been demonstrated, but in only a few cases are MOFs an integral part of an actual device. The synthesis of a few electrically conducting MOFs and their known structural flexibility suggest that MOF-based electronic devices exploiting these properties could be constructed. It is clear, however, that new fabrication methods are required to take advantage of the unique properties of MOFs and extend their use to the realms of electronic circuitry. In this Concepts article, we describe the basic functional elements needed to fabricate electronic devices and summarize the current state of relevant MOF research, and then review recent work in which MOFs serve as active components in electronic devices. Finally, we propose a high-level roadmap for device-related MOF research, the objective of which is to stimulate thinking within the MOF community concerning the development these materials for applications including sensing, photonics, and microelectronics.
