Compared to other topological crystalline frameworks, HOFs offer unique advantages for sensors, memristors, neuromorphic computing, and artificial synapses.
Due to their high porosity, thermal stability, and other desirable properties, two types of topological crystalline framework materials, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent-organic frameworks (COFs), have been used for a decade in various applications, including energy storage, environmental catalysis, and optoelectronic devices. But more recently, another class of topological crystalline framework has emerged: hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs).
HOFs, which are already being employed in various fields, including gas separation and biomedicine, offer unique advantages compared to MOFs and COFs. The material’s low binding strength allows its hydrogen…
