AI Summary
Researchers have developed a method to create high-quality metal-organic framework thin films by controlling the growth direction of crystals, resulting in neatly arranged films without gaps. These films have potential applications as optical sensors, optical elements, and transparent gas adsorption sheets.
Researchers have succeeded in forming metal-organic framework thin films on a substrate while controlling the growth direction of crystals so that they are arranged neatly without gaps. The resulting thin films of unprecedented high quality can be expected for use as optical sensors, optical elements, and transparent gas adsorption sheets.
