“…The synthesis of large-area thin films of 2D MOFs involves two primary methods: bottom-up approaches, which induce crystal growth reactions directly on substrates, and top-down approaches, which involve synthesizing bulk materials, followed by thin film processing. Bottom-up methods include chemical vapor deposition (CVD), ,− interfacial synthesis, − layer-by-layer assembly, , and microfluidic-assisted synthesis, , enabling the production of films with low roughness and ultrathin thickness down to a few nanometers, with precise thickness control. In contrast, top-down methods such as spin coating and spray coating are easier to scale up but are less common due to challenges in dispersing 2D MOFs in solvents …”

Metrics & MoreArticle Recommendations CONSPECTUS: Recent years have witnessed significant interest in two-dimensional metal−organic frameworks (MOFs) due to their unique properties and promising applications across various fields. These materials offer distinct advantages, including high porosity and excellent charge transport properties. Their tunability allows precise control over various factors, including the electronic structure adjustments and local reactivity modulation, facilitating a wide range of properties and applications, such as material sensing and spin dynamics control. Moreover, the precise crystal structure of 2D MOFs supports rational design and mechanism studies, providing insights into their potential applications and enhancing their utility in various scientific and technological endeavors.To fully unveil the latent capabilities of 2D MOFs and advance their applications across diverse fields, thin film synthesis is crucial. Thin films provide a platform for investigating the intrinsic electrical properties of 2D MOFs with anisotropic structures, enabling the exploration of their unique characteristics comprehensively. Additionally, thin films offer the advantage of minimizing interference at contacts and junctions, thereby enhancing the performance of 2D MOFs for various applications. Furthermore, the properties of thin films can vary with thickness, presenting an opportunity to tailor their characteristics based on specific requirements.In this Account, we present an overview of our research focusing on the synthesis of 2D conductive MOF thin films encompassing two primary methods: chemical vapor deposition and solution processing. The chemical vapor deposition method allows for onestep, all-vapor-phase processes resulting in MOFs with edge-on orientation, controllable film thicknesses ranging from 55 to 662.7 nm, and smooth, homogeneous surfaces. On the other hand, solution-processing introduces a novel MOF, Cu 3 (HHTATP) 2 , by reducing interlayer interactions through the addition of pendent Brønsted bases on a ligand, enabling spin coating for thin film synthesis. This method yields a concentrated 2D MOF solution, enabling spin coating for thin film synthesis, where reversible electrical conductivity changes occur through doping with an acid and dedoping with a base. Additionally, we discuss various other synthesis methods, such as interfacial synthesis, layer-by-layer assembly, and microfluidic-assisted synthesis, offering versatile approaches for fabricating large-area thin films with tailored properties. Finally, we address ongoing challenges and potential strategies for further advancement in 2D conductive MOF thin film synthesis. We hope that this Account provides insights for selecting synthesis methods tailored to specific purposes, contributes to the development of varied synthesis techniques, and facilitates the exploration of diverse applications, unlocking the full potential of 2D conductive MOFs for next-generation technologies.

“…Previously, we have reported the synthesis of the oriented film of a two-dimensional conductive MOF of Cu 3 (HHTP) 2 (HHTP = 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexahydroxytriphenylene) on an α-Al 2 O 3 substrate using PVD combined with solvent vapor annealing. 24 However, there is no report on the direct growth of isotropic three-dimensional MOFs on an insulating substrate by PVD. Growth of isotropic MOFs without surface modification is challenging because the target MOF must be selectively synthesized from several polymorphs with the same metal ion and ligand.…”
