Two‐Dimensional Metal‐Organic Frameworks Towards Spintronics

Abstract

AbstractThe intrinsic properties of predesignable topologies and tunable electronic structures, coupled with the increase of electrical conductivity, make two‐dimensional metal–organic frameworks (2D MOFs) highly prospective candidates for next‐generation electronic/spintronic devices. In this Minireview, we present an outline of the design principles of 2D MOF‐based spintronics materials. Then, we highlight the spin‐transport properties of 2D MOF‐based organic spin valves (OSVs) as a notable achievement in the progress of 2D MOFs for spintronics devices. After that, we discuss the potential for spin manipulation in 2D MOFs with bipolar magnetic semiconductor (BMS) properties as a promising field for future research. Finally, we provide a brief summary and outlook to encourage the development of novel 2D MOFs for spintronics applications.
