Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) symbolize the particular class of hybridcrystalline, nano-porous materials made of either discrete metal ions orclusters with organic linkers. Past studies on MOFs-based materials largelyfocused on porosity, chemical and structural diversity, gas sorption, sensing,drug delivery, catalysis, and separation applications. However, initial effortseither neglected or have not gained much attention to refine the electricalconductivity of MOFs materials. MOFs reported earlier with poor electricalconductivity impeded to employ in electronics, optoelectronics, and renewableenergy storage applications. To overcome this issue, the MOFs community hasbeen engaged in improving electrical conductivity by adopting severalintriguing strategies. We shed light on the charge transport mechanisms whichare mainly two processes, either through a bond or through space. This reviewaims to showcase the current scenario on creatively designed MOF materialsfollowed by fabrication advancement of high-quality molecular thin films, andsemiconductor device fabrication for stimuli-responsive current-voltage (I-V)studies. Overall, the review addresses the pros and cons of the MOFs-basedelectronics, followed by our prediction on improvement MOFs composition,mechanically stable interfaces, device stacking, further relevant experimentswhich can be of great interest to the MOFs researchers in improving furtherdevices performances.
