Metal–Organic Framework-Based Photodetectors

Abstract

Highlights The methods of preparing metal–organic framework (MOF)-based photodetectors and various types of MOFs are introduced. The applications of MOF photodetectors in the detection of X-ray, ultraviolet, and infrared radiation, biosensing, and circularly polarized light detection are summarized. Challenges in developing practical MOF photodetector and concepts to solve those critical challenges are discussed.
