“…The main reason behind the significantly high performance was the perfect match of the LUMO level of the MOF with the conduction band edge of TiO 2 that allows smooth electron flow. However, the research on MOF‐sensitized solar cells is at its primitive stages where the overall device performances vary from 0.005 %–2.5 % [22] . Thus, the novel approach demonstrated in this study may pave the way to further improve the efficiencies of MOF‐sensitized solar cells by incorporating suitable guest molecules to enhance the conductivity within the MOF.…”

Metal‐organic framework (MOF)‐sensitized solar cells (MSSC) were fabricated using aniline‐doped MOF‐199. The light harvesting and semiconductor properties of MOF‐199 were fine‐tuned by introducing aniline as guest molecules. After doping with aniline structural changes were not depicted in the powder X‐ray diffraction pattern confirming the undisturbed 3D framework of MOF‐199. A clear color change was observed after doping due to which enhanced absorbance peaks were observed in the UV‐visible spectra. The modified MOF‐199 was then utilized in MOF‐sensitized solar cells as the light‐absorbing material that demonstrated a 73 % enhancement in the overall device efficiency when compared to MSSC fabricated with unmodified/neat MOF‐199.

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) exhibit large surface areas and low thermal conductivity, making them promising for thermoelectric generation. However, their limited electrical conductivity poses a significant hurdle to be practically useful. Traditionally, enhancing the electrical conductivity of MOFs typically comes at the cost of reducing surface area, thereby increasing thermal conductivity. This study introduces an approach to simultaneously boost the electrical conductivity and porosity of a MOF‐based material while maintaining remarkably low thermal conductivity. The electrically conductive poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene)‐poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) is deployed to nucleate the growth of Cu3(BTC)2 (or simply CuBTC, where BTC = benzene‐1,3,5‐tricarboxylic acid), resulting in the synthesis of composites labeled CPP‐y (where y denotes wt% PEDOT:PSS). Predictably, the CPP‐y composites are more electrically conductive than pure CuBTC, achieving an electrical conductivity exceeding 1.40 S cm−1 at room temperature. Furthermore, the CPP‐y composites exhibit consistently high Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface areas of ≈1600 m2 g−1, comparable to pristine CuBTC, while maintaining thermal conductivities below 0.04 W m−1 K−1 at room temperature. With a high Seebeck coefficient in the range 180–373 µV K−1, CPP‐15 and CPP‐23 demonstrate a figure‐of‐merit (zT) of 0.25 and 0.11, respectively, at 285 K, marking a substantial achievement for MOF‐based materials.
