Zirconium-based metal-organic frameworks, including UiO-66 and related frameworks, have become the focus of considerable research in the area of chemical warfare agent (CWA) decontamination. However, little work has been reported exploring these metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for CWA sensing applications. For many sensing approaches, the growth of high-quality thin films of the active material is required, and thin film growth methods must be compatible with complex device architectures. Several approaches to synthesize thin films of UiO-66 have been described but many of these existing methods are complex or time consuming. In this work, we describe the development of a simple and rapid microwave assisted synthesis of oriented UiO-66 thin films on unmodified silicon (Si) and gold (Au) substrates. Thin films of UiO-66 and UiO-66-NH₂ can be grown in as little as 2 min on gold substrates and 30 min on Si substrates. The film morphology and orientation are characterized and the effects of reaction time and temperature on thin film growth on Au are investigated. Both reaction time and temperature impact the overgrowth of protruding discrete crystallites in the thin film layer but, surprisingly, no strong correlation is observed between film thickness and reaction time or temperature. We also briefly describe the synthesis of Zr/Ce solid solution thin films of UiO-66 on Au and report the first synthesis of a solid solution thin film MOF. Finally, we demonstrate the utility of the microwave method for the facile functionalization of two sensor architectures, plasmonic nanohole arrays and microresonators, with UiO-66 thin films.
