LUMIMOF: Luminescent Metal Organic Frameworks for anti-counterfeiting and logic computing

A research project funded by Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions ( H2020-WF-02-2019-Grant agreement ID: 10100341)


Data security and counterfeiting of valuable documents, products, or currency is a global problem that challenges industry, governments and customers. On the other hand, information technology plays a paramount role in our society. In this context, the demand for new materials able to improve over the conventional materials used for these applications has increased considerably.

The project LUMIMOF aims at developing novel luminescent metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) (Figure 1) at the nanometer level (nano-MOFs) to be used in anti-counterfeiting applications and in logic computing gates. The tuneable nature of MOFs through rational design allows for new materials, which can be judiciously tailored toward a variety of applications.

Specifically, lanthanide-based metal organic frameworks (LnMOFs) are excellent candidates for this project because of the exceptional luminescence properties of Ln(III) ions . Figure 2 shows the excellent luminiscence properties and the nanometer scale of the materials synthesized in this project.

Unfortunately, these materials could not be studied for anti-counterfeiting and logic computing due to the project has been cancelled (incompatibilities with a new position accepted by the researcher)
