Major Contributions
 

1.Comprehensive Review of MOF Composite Architectures and Fabrication Strategies
This work systematically reviews the nanoarchitectures of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), highlighting their structural, morphological, and chemical properties relevant to blue energy harvesting and soft electronics. Various synthesis and characterization methods are detailed, and the challenges of fabricating continuous, defect-free MOF membranes are addressed. The review categorizes and compares multiple strategies for integrating MOFs with polymers, colloids, and nanomaterials to form composites with enhanced mechanical robustness, water stability, and functional performance.

2.Critical Analysis of MOF Composite Membranes for Blue Energy Harvesting
The article provides an in-depth analysis of MOF composite membranes in the context of blue energy (osmotic energy) harvesting. It summarizes recent advances in the design and fabrication of MOF-based membranes, such as Type I (pure MOF on substrate), Type II (MOF-polymer hybrids), and Type III (freestanding composite membranes). The influence of membrane structure, charge asymmetry, and experimental parameters on ion selectivity and power density is discussed, offering guidelines for optimizing next-generation membranes to maximize energy conversion efficiency.

3.Exploration of MOF-Based Composites in Soft Electronics and Self-Healing Materials
The review explores the application of MOF-based composites in soft electronics, including wearable devices and flexible capacitors. It examines how the integration of MOFs with soft polymers imparts enhanced mechanical flexibility, electrical properties, and self-healing capabilities, thus extending device lifetimes and broadening application potential. The article also discusses various composite fabrication techniques—such as in-situ polymerization, grafting, and biomimetic mineralization—demonstrating how these approaches enable the development of advanced, multifunctional materials for next-generation soft electronic devices.
