This review article discusses the potential of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) in the development of electronic and opto-electronic devices. MOFs are hybrid materials with unique optical and electronic properties due to their self-assembled structure, which allows for a wide range of structural motifs. Their high environmental stability and tunable properties make them promising candidates for use in devices such as solar cells, photodetectors, and chemical sensors. The article summarizes recent advances in the design and integration of MOFs into devices, highlighting the importance of structural elements and fabrication techniques. It also discusses the challenges in achieving desired MOF functionality and establishing structure-property relationships. The review emphasizes the potential of MOFs in creating new functionalities and their application in various devices, including sensors, transistors, photovoltaics, and photocatalysts. The article also explores the integration of MOFs with other materials and the development of MOF-based devices with novel capabilities. It highlights the progress in the growth of MOF thin films and the development of electrically conducting MOFs, as well as their potential in light-harvesting applications. The review concludes with a discussion on the future directions of MOF research and their potential in creating advanced electronic and opto-electronic devices.This review article discusses the potential of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) in the development of electronic and opto-electronic devices.
