Combining UV lithography and an imprinting technique for patterning metal organic frameworks.
Thin metal organic framework (MOF) films are patterned using UV lithography and an imprinting technique. A UV lithographed SU 8 film is imprinted onto a film of MOF powder forming a 2D MOF patterned film. This straightforward method can be applied to most MOF materials, is versatile, cheap, and potentially useful for commercial applications such as lab on a chip type devices.
