Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have received significant attention due to their well-known porosity and versatility arising from their modular nature and their unique properties make them attractive candidates for various applications. In recent years, to expand the potential applications of MOFs in areas such as electrocatalysis, sensing, energy storage and to facilitate their incorporation into electrical devices, there has been significant interest in augmenting MOFs, which are typically nonconductive materials, with conductivity, leading to a plethora of studies in this field. One notable avenue of exploration involves developing novel, inherently conductive MOFs with effective charge transport pathways within the MOF lattice. Another approach involves the strategic introduction of either conductive substances such as conjugated PEDOT or PPy, or redox-active molecules such as tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) or ferrocene into the MOF pores or external crystal surfaces, which leads to a substantial overall improvement in conductivity. Besides considerations of conductivity, the integration of such MOFs into electronic platforms is also necessary for their practical utilization and significant engineering efforts have been invested into optimizing the processing of MOFs into appropriate configurations for integration. Micro and nanofabrication techniques have been crucial in the path towards device miniaturization. In the case of MOFs, an ongoing challenge is the development of methods for the precise spatial positioning of MOFs within such devices to enhance their performance whilst minimizing material wastage. Bottom-up approaches to MOF patterning include directed MOF growth, such as via localization of layer-by-layer [Cu3(btc)2] growth to microcontact printed self-assembled monolayer (SAM) patterns, or the use of lithographically patterned wells to localize seed crystals and subsequent MOF growth. However, such multi-step fabrications typically require specialized instrumentation, and careful control and can be relatively timeconsuming. Further, as MOFs are typically fabricated as nano or microcrystalline powders, methods for the precise spatial deposition of such crystals are attractive for industrial applications. An early example demonstrated the use of an external magnet for the user-directed dynamic localization of MOF-5 crystals encapsulating magnetic cobalt nanoparticles, where the crystals could be easily repositioned at will and used to seed further MOF crystallization at user-defined locations. Another example by Hod et al. showed the electrophoretic deposition of electrochemically active NU-1000 onto the patterned exposed surfaces of an oppositely-charged FTO electrode, although an improvement in MOF performance through patterning was not reported. Further, for many applications utilizing conductive MOFs, methods to deposit MOFs in interelectrode gaps rather than on just one electrode are required. Interdigitated electrodes (IDE) are commonly utilized platforms for devices, particularly for signal transduction in sensing, due to their design versatility and small interelectrode distances that can significantly enhance the intensities of generated signals. Many studies have demonstrated IDE sensors utilizing MOFs for the sensing of gases and biological analytes, whereby highly uniform MOF thin films, or single crystals, are required for reliable sensing performance. To achieve this, the MOFs are deposited on IDEs either by careful growth of MOF thin films, via Langmuir-Blodgett deposition, or more simply, by dropcasting or manual application of a thick MOF paste. However, besides being potentially time-consuming, the in-situ fabrication of MOF thin films on IDEs requires careful control of growth conditions, involving specialized instrumentation for precise positional heating, and considerations of device stability against MOF precursors, solvents, and elevated temperature as well as limited flexibility of the grown film for postsynthetic modifications. In contrast, the Langmuir-Blodgett method may require long deposition times and reproducibility is sensitive to environmental conditions. Drop-casting, on the other hand, is straightforward but offers little control over the spatial distribution of the MOF particles, and hence the particle amounts deposited between the finger electrodes of the IDEs. Since electrical conductivity is highly sensitive to the amount of material used and the electron conduction pathway between the electrodes, a lack of precise control can result in weak signal generation or poor reproducibility. Although this can in principle be resolved by using a large excess of MOFs deposited, in the continuing quest for increasing process efficiency, maximizing device performance whilst minimizing materials wastage and processing time requirements is of pivotal importance. Our group has recently demonstrated that the application of external electric fields (E-field) can lead to the directional orientation of MOF particles, which can be further packed into long-range ordered arrays or be utilized for enhanced bending actuation in oriented versus unoriented MIL-88A poly(ethylene glycol diacrylate) (PEGDA) polymer composites. Recently, Hong et al. have also applied this E-field alignment method to orient the conductive MOF Cu3(HHTP)2 in PEGDA, enhancing their electrical conductivity compared to their unoriented counterparts. In these earlier examples, anisotropically shaped MOF particles were utilized to demonstrate orientational control. However, as dielectrophoresis has been widely utilized for the separation and positioning of cells and colloidal particles, we reasoned that regardless of particle aspect ratio, the application of E-fields should also assist in the precise positioning of MOF crystals. Further, the use of a polymer matrix to fix the MOF crystal orientation tends to block the MOF pores, limiting the use of such oriented MOF assemblies for applications such as sensing, where easy access to MOF pores is a prerequisite. MIL-101(Cr) was selected for our investigations, given its wellestablished stability to air and water and high porosity. Furthermore, earlier work has demonstrated that it can be utilized for humidity sensing as well as endowed with electrical conductivity via poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) or PEDOT incorporation, whilst retaining high porosity, rendering it an ideal candidate for deposition onto IDEs for our studies. MIL-101(Cr), first reported by Férey et al., bears an MTN zeotype architecture, composed of octahedral trimeric Cr(III)3O clusters and 1,4benzene dicarboxylate (BDC) linkers, with the formula [Cr3(O)X(BDC)3(H2O)2], where X is either OH -or F -, depending on the synthetic conditions. In this study, MIL-101(Cr) and its PEDOT-functionalized counterpart, denoted as MIL-101(Cr)PEDOT, were drop-cast onto IDE substrates to investigate the electric-field assisted deposition of the MOF particles. By incorporating the conductive polymer PEDOT into MIL-101(Cr), we can effectively deposit aligned chains of MIL-101(Cr)PEDOT between the IDE electrodes, leading to enhanced electrical conductivity and increased reproducibility. This was further demonstrated via the response of the resulting electrodes to different humidities as a proof-of-concept for sensing.
