Professor Jaeyoung Park's research team (Department of Electronic Engineering) succeeded in developing Metal Organic Framework, MOF-525 and a stretchable triboelectric nanogenerator and unpowered tactile sensor with ultra-high elasticity, moisture resistance, and high performance using cobalt nanoporous carbon-mexene (MXene) nanocomposite material. The metal-organic skeleton is a nanomaterial with a structure that can load various chemical substanes inside the skeleton, and it is expected to have a great impact on the development of new sensors and electronic devices by using it in the future.
