Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are highly desired for electrochromic (EC) applications because of their designable porous structures for fast ionic transport. However, the intrinsic low electronic conductivity of traditional MOF-based EC materials leads to a slow switching speed, poor coloration efficiency, and unfavorable cyclability. Conductive MOFs, with a tunable porous crystal structure and highly improved electronic conductivity, are proposed as promising candidates to achieve synchronous high-speed transport of electrons and ions in the EC process. Here we demonstrate fast and high-coloration-efficiency EC electrodes based on interfacially assembled conductive MOF Ni3(HITP)2 films. The reversible EC behavior of Ni3(HITP)2 is systematically explored and elaborated as the redox of Ni nodes in the crystal. Finally, we demonstrate MOFs-based devices that could potentially be used in fields such as digital displays and optical modulation.

For investigating extreme ultraviolet (EUV) damage on optics, a table-top EUV focusing optical system was developed in the laboratory. Based on a modified Schwarzschild objective with a large numerical aperture and a laser-plasma light source, this optical system can generate a focusing spot with the maximum energy density of 2.27 J/cm2 at the focal plane of the objective at the wavelength of 13.5 nm. The structures and the characterized properties of this optical system are presented in this paper. For testing the performance of this setup, single-shot EUV damage tests were carried out on an optical substrate of CaF2 and a gold thin film. The damage thresholds and morphologies of these samples were given and discussed with former research studies.
