Abstract

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous, ordered arrays formed by coordination bonds between organic ligands and metal ions or clusters. The highly tunable properties of the MOF structure and performance make it possible to meet the needs of many applications. Conductive MOFs are essential in the domain of sensing due to their electrical conductivity, porosity, and catalytic properties, offering an effective platform for detection. Numerous sensing devices that utilize conductive MOFs have been created. This text presents a thorough overview of the diverse applications of conductive MOFs within the sensing field. The results of this work provide insights into the properties and synthesis methods of conductive MOFs and the working mechanisms of sensors based on conductive MOFs, which will help to deepen the study of such materials, provide a new vision for the design and production of novel functional materials, and promote the development and application of sensors based on conductive MOFs.

Keywords: Conductive metal-organic frameworks; Electroactive materials; Nanomaterials; Sensing detection technology; Sensing strategy; Sensor.
