“…The group of Foster used liquid-assisted exfoliation to prepare zinc-porphyrin based 2D MOFs and integrated them into a polythiophene–fullerene (P3HT–PCBM) organic solar cell set-up. 206 The incorporation into the organic photovoltaic led to a doubling of the devices performance. The 2D MOFs bandgap is intermediate of the acceptor and donor of the system and hence does not create traps for charges.…”

“…The reason for improved photovoltaic performance is the numerous characteristics such as the tunable work function of the PEIE–MOF interfacial layer, improved conductivity, and passivation of oxygen defects on the ZnO film (as an EEL). Recently, Sasitharan et al synthesized ultrathin zinc porphyrin-based MOF nanosheets (MONs) [ 61 ]. The OSCs employing MONs as the photoactive layer showed a PCE of 5.2%, which is almost twice as much as the reference device.…”

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and MOF-derived materials have been used for several applications, such as hydrogen storage and separation, catalysis, and drug delivery, owing to them having a significantly large surface area and open pore structure. In recent years, MOFs have also been applied to thin-film solar cells, and attractive results have been obtained. In perovskite solar cells (PSCs), the MOF materials are used in the form of an additive for electron and hole transport layers, interlayer, and hybrid perovskite/MOF. MOFs have the potential to be used as a material for obtaining PSCs with high efficiency and stability. In this study, we briefly explain the synthesis of MOFs and the performance of organic and dye-sensitized solar cells with MOFs. Furthermore, we provide a detailed overview on the performance of the most recently reported PSCs using MOFs.

“…Metal-organic framework nanosheets (MONs) can also be ideal materials for utilization in photovoltaic applications. Sasitharan et al [79] synthesized the ultra-thin zincporphyrin based MONs with perfect photoelectric characteristics fitted for merging into a polythiophene-fullerene organic solar cell. Apparently, the introduction of MONs into the photoactive layer belong to the photovoltaic device brought about a power conversion efficiency of 5.2%.…”

The high speed of contaminants growth needs the burgeoning of new analytical techniques to keep up with the continuous demand for monitoring and legislation on food safety and environmental pollution control. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a kind of advanced crystal porous materials with controllable apertures, which are self-assembled by organic ligands and inorganic metal nodes. They have the merits of large specific surface areas, high porosity and the diversity of structures and functions. Latterly, the utilization of metal-organic frameworks has attracted much attention in environmental protection and the food industry. MOFs have exhibited great value as sensing materials for many targets. Among many sensing methods, fluorometric sensing is one of the widely studied methods in the detection of harmful substances in food and environmental samples. Fluorometric detection based on MOFs and its functional materials is currently one of the most key research subjects in the food and environmental fields. It has gradually become a hot research direction to construct the highly sensitive rapid sensors to detect harmful substances in the food matrix based on metal-organic frameworks. In this paper, we introduced the synthesis and detection application characteristics (absorption, fluorescence, etc.) of metal-organic frameworks. We summarized their applications in the MOFs-based fluorometric detection of harmful substances in food and water over the past few years. The harmful substances mainly include heavy metals, organic pollutants and other small molecules, etc. On this basis, the future development and possible application of the MOFs have prospected in this review paper.
