Is iron unique in promoting electrical conductivity in MOFs?

Identifying the metal ions that optimize charge transport and charge density in metal-organic frameworks is critical for systematic improvements in the electrical conductivity in these materials. In this work, we measure the electrical conductivity and activation energy for twenty different MOFs pertaining to four distinct structural families: M2(DOBDC)(DMF)2 (M = Mg2+, Mn2+, Fe2+, Co2+, Ni2+, ...

The deposition and synthesis of PEDOT:OTf are described in the experimental section. The polymerization parameters were chosen according to previous work from Murphy et al.1–4 The effects of the addition of PEG-PPG-PEG to the solvent have been widely described in their work. The polymerization occurs from temperature as low as 30 °C. However, such low temperatures result in low values of electr...
