MOFs/COFs-based hybrids for agricultural sensors: Current state of art and beyond.

Reticular chemistry enables the precise prediction for metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs) by opening up an infinite space of the chemical compositions, structures, and material properties. Leveraging the reticular design, MOFs and COFs (MOFs/COFs)-based hybrids have made significant advances in both fundamental properties and sensor applications. MOFs/COFs-based hybrids feature intrinsic fascinating properties including extremely large specific surface area, size and shape tunable nanoporosity, and unique surface chemistry, and therefore they can be competitive candidate for the facile production of various nanostructures and further exploration of unique merits to address the limitations of sensor applications. Herein, we provide a comprehensive overview in the synthesis of MOFs/COFs-based hybrids in sensing fields and particularly highlight their roles for agricultural sensors. In the end, we briefly discussed the challenges and perspectives of MOFs/COFs-based hybrids in novel agricultural sensing. • Synthesis strategies of MOFs/COFs-based hybrids for sensing analysis are concluded. • The roles of MOFs/COFs-based hybrids in sensors for agricultural applications are detailed discussed. • The potential of MOFs/COFs-based hybrids to accelerate the development of smart agriculture is analyzed.
