The discovery and development of multifunctional nanomaterials, which more than one property coexist, can enable unprecedented approaches to addressing challenges in electronics, healthcare, and energy conversion and storage. An emergent class of multifunctional nanomaterials based on electrically conductive metal−organic frameworks (MOFs) presents an alternative access to low-dimensional structures with high potential utility in microelectronics, chemical sensing, sequestration, energy conversion and storage, and catalysis. A unique and powerful characteristic of these materials, in contrast to other nanomaterials materials, is that they are accessible through bottom-up self-assembly from extremely modular molecular building blocks. This presentation will describe the design and implementation of nanostructured two-dimensional MOFs as highly versatile components in electroanalytical devices and in electrically-actuated gas capture and release. Emphasis will be placed on targeted design of modular structure-property relationships, development of unique device integration strategies, and assessments of the functional utility in the solid-state.
