Metal–organic framework-based photonic crystal platforms for gas sensing: a review

Abstract

In this review, the research progress of MOF-based PC gas sensors from 1-D to 3-D PCs, which mainly include four aspects of sensing mechanism, material selection, structural optimization and sensing performances, is comprehensively summarized.

Bio-inspired photonic and plasmonic systems for gas sensing: applications, fabrication, and analytical methods

“…76,77 One approach that can be used to improve detector capabilities is the exploitation of optical responses from photonic and plasmonic materials that are integrated into the device. 4,78,79…”

Design, synthesis and characterization of hierarchical porous stacked thin films based on MOFs and ordered mesoporous oxides

“…[17][18][19] An increasingly popular alternative employed to circumvent the above discussed shortcomings is to enrich structural and chemical tunability of 1D-PCs through the inclusion of porous materials belonging to the well-established family known as Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs). 20 MOFs are materials based on the non-covalent combination of metallic ions and multidentate organic linkers into 3D ordered structures that feature permanent porosity. Since the appearance of pioneering studies reporting their interesting adsorption properties, 21,22 MOFs have raised an ever-increasing interest due to a myriad of possible applications in diverse elds such as separation, catalysis, sensing, energy, or drug delivery, just to mention some of the most relevant examples.…”

Synthesis of novel Cu/Fe based benzene Dicarboxylate (BDC) metal organic frameworks and investigations into their optical and electrochemical properties

“…These MOFs have attracted lot of interest from researchers owing to their superior properties, such as high porosity [ 3 ], improved surface area [ 4 ], excellent thermal compatibility [ 5 ], and good chemical tunability [ 6 ]. These unique property makes the MOFs potential materials for various technological applications such as gas/energy storage [ 7 , 8 ], photocatalysis [ 9 ], drug delivery [ 10 , 11 ], semiconductor electronics [ 12 , 13 ], and electrochemical/chemical sensing [ 14 , 15 ]. To improve the physiochemical properties of MOF-based materials, it is advantageous to introduce various functional groups into the MOFs.…”
