Compositions and methods for producing electrically conductive coordination polymers and uses thereof

Abstract

Compositions, methods and processes for producing an electrically conductive metal-organic material is disclosed, wherein the material is based on a coordination polymer consisting of a plurality of ligands and metal ions, each coordinated with a ligand to impart conductivity to the material. Further provided are methods of deposition and use to produce conductive textiles, stretchable, flexible and transparent devices and surfaces. The electrically conductive metal-organic material may be used in a variety of fields including wearable electronics, sensors (gas, wearable, sweat, temperature, humidity), batteries, supercapacitors, electronic and pressure sensitive textiles/cotton/paper, electromagnetic shielding fabric, triboelectric nanogenerators, conductive paints/inks, antistatic coatings, conductive spray for flexible, transparent, and pressure sensitive glass/elastomers/plastics.
