Breathable MOFs Layer on Atomically Grown 2D SnS₂ for Stable and Selective Surface Activation (Adv. Sci. 17/2023)

2D Materials In article number 2301002, Jihan Kim, Chong-Yun Kang, Ji-Soo Jang, and co-workers describe ‘Sandwich-like’ porous MOFs/2D conductive heterostructures for realizing ultra-stable and selective surface reactivity of conductive 2D materials as proven by chemical sensing case study and multiscale simulations. Highlights of this work include the following; (i) Fabrication of defect-free and uniformly porous ZIF-8 membrane on conductive 2D active materials, (ii) the realization of the ultra-stable and selective surface reaction behavior with fast response by coupling conductive 2D active materials with breathable ZIF-8 passivation layer. Moreover, a further developed model of the MOFs/2D conductive heterostructures system will actively contribute to overcoming the world-wide problem of unstable 2D material characteristics.
