Two-dimensional metal organic frameworks for photonic applications [Invited]

Abstract

Two-dimensional (2D) metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted considerable attention owing to their fascinating properties, including ordered crystalline structures, large surface areas, and related unique 2D properties. Moreover, 2D MOFs have been widely used in energy, catalysis, and optoelectronic applications. However, researchers have performed fewer investigations on photonic applications. To remedy this gap in knowledge, recent progress in the development of 2D MOFs for photonic applications was investigated. First, the background and motivation of this review are introduced. Then, the synthesis method and properties are presented, followed by an introduction to their photonic device applications. Finally, future research prospects and challenges in 2D MOFs for photonic applications are proposed.

Recent Progress in Emerging Novel MXenes Based Materials and their Fascinating Sensing Applications

“…[ 292,293 ] HF in varied concentrations was the initial etchant applied to etch Ti 3 AlC 2 MAX phase. [ 9–91,293,294 ] Ghidiu and his colleagues [ 295 ] demonstrated in 2014 that etching the parent ternary compounds by means of a combination of HCl and LiF is also achievable. The HF is still generated by in situ mean in this situation.…”

“…To achieve high‐performance sensors new novel low‐dimensional active sensing materials are extremely required for the future nanotechnological world. [ 9–91 ] As a result, low dimensional materials, for example, 2D materials [ 20,30,40,43–45,47,50,51,56,83,92–98 ] are studied, which are deliberate broadly for the past few decades; starting with breakthrough of unusual physical and electrochemical properties of single‐atomic layer carbons, called graphene. [ 30,40,45,56,96,99 ]…”

Recent major advances and challenges in the emerging graphene-based nanomaterials in electrocatalytic fuel cell technology

“…The quality and performance of the produced graphene cost and its processability should be considered when determining the optimal substrate. 5–7,10–13,15–17,43,45,52,55,56,60,63,67,69,71,73,548–609…”

Metal-mediated tunability of MOF-based optical modulators

“…5 To address these challenges, the researchers aim to replace the active media of the optical modulator with sustainable organic [6][7][8] and hybrid materials. 9 In this sense, the utilization of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] has stimulated further green digital transition. 19 Indeed, MOFs are crystalline solids constructed from inorganic building blocks connected via organic ligands.…”
