Engineering ZIF-8 thin films for hybrid MOF-based devices

Adv Mater. 2012 Aug 2;24(29):3970-4. doi: 10.1002/adma.201202116. Epub 2012 Jun 21.

Abstract

Patterned metal-organic framework, ZIF-8 thin films can be generated by using standard photolithography or via selective growth with the aid of microcontact printing. The alternate chemical deposition (of ZIF-8) and physical deposition (of metallic materials) allow the insertion of metal layers in the ZIF-8 film that could serve as multifunctional chemical sensors for vapors and gases.
