Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have drawn tremendous potential as a replacement of traditional lighting due to its low-power consumption and longer lifetime. Nowadays, the practical white LEDs (WLED) are contingent on photon down-conversion phosphors containing rare-earth elements, which limits utility, energy, cost efficiency. In order resolve energy crisis address environmental concerns, designing direct WLED is highly desirable remains challenging issue. To circumvent existing difficulties,...

Abstract Metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) have recently emerged as attractive materials for their tunable properties, which been utilized diverse applications including sensors, gas storage, and drug delivery. However, the high porosity poor electrical conductivity of MOFs restrict optoelectronic applications. Owing to inherent tunability, a broadband photon absorbing MOF can be designed. Combining superior properties along with ultrahigh carrier mobility graphene, first time, this study...
