Principle of MOF-Based Photodetector (IMAGE) Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf Caption Physicists of HZDR and TU Dresden have developed a photodetector, which is completely based on layers of metal-organic frameworks. Since this compound can detect and transform a broad range of light wavelengths into electrical signals, it could become a novel detector material.
