Abstract:
In this paper, metal-organic framework (MOF) is explored as xylene sensing-material for resonant-cantilever gas sensor. Sensing experiment with the MOF nano-material of HKUST-1 demonstrates that 400 ppb xylene can be detected. This limit of detection (LOD) has been lower than the human olfactory threshold. The sensing mechanism is identified as the interaction between MOF and xylene. The specificity of HKUST-1 MOF to xylene is originated from the Cu2+ induced moderate Lewis acidity and like-dissolves-like interaction of benzene-ring.
