MOF-5 and other metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) exhibit semiconductor behavior, particularly when exposed to light, leading to charge separation between electrons and holes. This property makes MOFs promising materials for applications in optoelectronics, photocatalysis, and superconducting materials. A more developed form of MOFs, such as UiO-66-BDC-NH2, have massive surface area and high porosity, which enhance their electrical conductivity and charge transport efficiency. These characteristics make them highly effective as electron carriers in superconducting and energy-harvesting applications. Unlike conventional semiconductors, MOFs offer structural flexibility, allowing for the tunable synthesis of different compositions, shapes, sizes, and chemical functionalities, making them adaptable to various electronic applications. The charge/discharge profiles, cyclic voltammetry (CV) curves, and cycling performance of nanoscale metal-organic frameworks (nMOFs) exhibit behaviors similar to traditional supercapacitors, but with distinct electrochemical advantages. The structural diversity and functional attributes of MOFs play a crucial role in charge transport and energy storage, influencing their semiconductor behavior. Depending on their chemical composition, certain nMOFs undergo redox reactions, enhancing their capacitance beyond benchmark materials. These properties make MOF-Based Semiconductors for Electronic and Energy Applications Seyeon Lee nMOFs highly effective for electronic and optoelectronic applications, particularly in supercapacitors and semiconductor-based energy storage systems. In this study, molecular editing and computat ־ onal modeling were used to design and optim ־ ze the semiconductor properties of metal-orga־ nic frameworks (MOFs). The stereochemical and thermodynamic properties of MOFs were analyzed using theoretical calculations and simulations to evaluate their electronic activity and stability. To assess the stability of MOFs as semiconductors, we analyzed their optimized configuration energies. The stability of a MOF compound is determined by the energy required to reach an optimized state—lower stabilization energy indicates higher structural stability. The ability to engineer MOFs with specific electronic properties through rational design of functional groups and linkers presents opportunities for their integration into emerging semiconductor technologies.
