Abstract:

In this study, a water-stable microcrystalline bioMOF was synthesized, characterized, and loaded with silver ions or highly emissive rare earth (RE) metals such as Eu3+/Tb3+. The obtained materials were used as active layers in a proof-of-concept sustainable light-emitting device, highlighting the potential of bioMOFs in optoelectronic applications.
