SENSORS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 24:4381. [PMID: 39001159 PMCID: PMC11244607 DOI: 10.3390/s24134381] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2024] [Revised: 06/25/2024] [Accepted: 07/01/2024] [Indexed: 07/16/2024]
Abstract
This work explores the use of ZIF-8, a metal-organic framework (MOF) material, for its use in the optical detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in Fabry-Pérot and surface plasmon resonance (SPR)-based sensors. The experiments have been carried out with ethanol (EtOH) and show response times as low as 30 s under VOC-saturated atmospheres, and the estimated limit of detection is below 4000 ppm for both sensor types. The selectivity towards other VOCs is relatively poor, although the dynamics of adsorption/desorption differ for each VOC and could be used for selectivity purposes. Furthermore, the hydrophobicity of ZIF-8 has been confirmed and the fabricated sensors are insensitive to this compound, which is a very attractive result for its practical use in gas sensing devices.

Abstract
Fabrication of metal-organic framework (MOF) thin films rigidly anchored on suitable substrates is a crucial prerequisite for the integration of these porous hybrid materials into electronic and optical devices. Thus, far, the structural variety for MOF thin films available through layer-by-layer deposition was limited, as the preparation of those surface-anchored metal-organic frameworks (SURMOFs) has several requirements: mild conditions, low temperatures, day-long reaction times, and nonaggressive solvents. We herein present a fast method for the preparation of the MIL SURMOF on Au-surfaces under rather harsh conditions: Using a dynamic layer-by-layer synthesis for MIL-68(In), thin films of adjustable thickness between 50 and 2000 nm could be deposited within only 60 min. The MIL-68(In) thin film growth was monitored in situ using a quartz crystal microbalance. In-plane X-ray diffraction revealed oriented MIL-68(In) growth with the pore-channels of this interesting MOF aligned parallel to the support. Scanning electron microscopy data demonstrated an extraordinarily low roughness of the MIL-68(In) thin films. Mechanical properties and lateral homogeneity of the layer were probed through nanoindentation. These thin films showed extremely high optical quality. By applying a poly(methyl methacrylate) layer and further depositing an Au-mirror to the top, a MOF optical cavity was fabricated that can be used as a Fabry-Perot interferometer. The MIL-68(In)-based cavity showed a series of sharp resonances in the ultraviolet-visible regime. Changes in the refractive index of MIL-68(In) caused by exposure to volatile compounds led to pronounced position shifts of the resonances. Thus, these cavities are well suited to be used as optical read-out sensors.

Abstract
The raising apprehension of volatile organic compound (VOC) exposures urges the exploration of advanced monitoring platforms. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) provide many attractive features including tailorable porosity, high surface areas, good chemical/thermal stability, and various host-guest interactions, making them appealing candidates for VOC capture and sensing. To comprehensively exploit the potential of MOFs as sensing materials, great efforts have been dedicated to the shaping and patterning of MOFs for next-level device integration. Among different types of sensors (chemiresistive sensors, gravimetric sensors, optical sensors, etc.), MOFs coupled with optical sensors feature distinctive strength. This review summarized the latest advancements in MOF-based optical sensors with a particular focus on VOC sensing. The subject is discussed by different mechanisms: colorimetry, luminescence, and sensors based on optical index modulations. Critical analysis for each system highlighting practical aspects was also deliberated.

Abstract
Traditional temperature detection has limitations in terms of sensing accuracy and response time, while chip-level photoelectric sensors based on the thermo-optic effect can improve measurement sensitivity and reduce costs. This paper presents on-chip temperature sensors based on polysilicon (p-Si) waveguides. Dual-microring resonator (MRR) and asymmetric Mach-Zehnder interferometer (AMZI) sensors are demonstrated. The experimental results show that the sensitivities of the sensors based on AMZI and MRR are 86.6 pm/K and 85.7 pm/K, respectively. The temperature sensors proposed in this paper are compatible with the complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) fabrication technique. Benefitting from high sensitivity and a compact footprint, these sensors show great potential in the field of photonic-electronic applications.

Abstract
Silicon photonic integrated sensors based on microring resonators are a promising candidate to achieve high-performance on-chip sensing. In this work, a novel dual-parameters sensor based on polarization multiplexing on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) platform is proposed and demonstrated experimentally, simultaneously achieving refractive index (RI) and temperature sensing with high sensitivity and large detection range (DR). The experimental results show that the RI sensitivity and temperature sensitivity of the TM-operated sensor are 489.3 nm/RIU and 20.0 pm/°C, respectively, and that of the TE-operated sensor are 102.6 nm/RIU and 43.3 pm/°C, respectively. Moreover, the DR of the fabricated sensor is 0.0296 RIU, which is 4.2 times that of the conventional TM-operated sensor based on the microring resonator. The dual-parameters sensor based on polarization multiplexing can successfully realize the simultaneous measurement of the RI and the temperature, showing potential applications of silicon photonic on-chip sensors in reality.

Abstract
The ever-increasing concerns over indoor/outdoor air quality, industrial gas leakage, food freshness, and medical diagnosis require miniaturized gas sensors with excellent sensitivity, selectivity, stability, low power consumption, cost-effectiveness, and long lifetime. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), featuring structural diversity, large specific surface area, controllable pore size/geometry, and host-guest interactions, hold great promises for fabricating various MOF-based devices for diverse applications including gas sensing. Tremendous progress has been made in the past decade on the fabrication of MOF-based sensors with elevated sensitivity and selectivity toward various analytes due to their preconcentrating and molecule-sieving effects. Although several reviews have recently summarized different aspects of this field, a comprehensive review focusing on MOF-based gas sensors is absent. In this review, the latest advance of MOF-based gas sensors relying on different transduction mechanisms, for example, chemiresistive, capacitive/impedimetric, field-effect transistor or Kelvin probe-based, mass-sensitive, and optical ones are comprehensively summarized. The latest progress for making large-area MOF films essential to the mass-production of relevant gas sensors is also included. The structural and compositional features of MOFs are intentionally correlated with the sensing performance. Challenges and opportunities for the further development and practical applications of MOF-based gas sensors are also given.

Abstract
Organic-compound-based sensors have important applications, such as applications in geothermal power stations, the shoe industry, the extraction of vegetable oil, azeotropic calibration and medical science. Herein, a 1D photonic crystal (PC) with a defect has been used to develop a photonic-technology-based organic compound sensor with optimum performance. The structure of the proposed organic compound sensor consists of a water cavity sandwiched between two symmetric sub-PCs, which are composed of alternate layers of SiO2 and ZnO. The proposed air/(SiO2/ZnO)5/cavity/(SiO2/ZnO)5/glass structure with the optimized structural parameters achieves a quality factor that varies between a minimum value of 4968.2 and a maximum value of 6418.5. The FOM and sensitivity values of the proposed sensing design are on the order of 102 and 103, respectively. The LOD value of the proposed sensor is on the order of 10−5, which is very low, as is always expected for chemical sensing designs. Thus, the simple design and excellent performance make our design highly efficient and suitable for sensing applications in the industrial and biomedical fields. Organic-compound-based sensors have important applications, such as applications in geothermal power stations, the shoe industry, the extraction of vegetable oil, azeotropic calibration and medical science.![]()

Abstract
In silicon photonic waveguides, the on-chip integration of high-performance nanomaterials is considerably important to enable the waveguide sensing function. Herein, the in situ self-assembly of the low refractive index (RI) metal-organic framework nanomaterial ZIF-8 with a large surface area and high porosity on the surface of a designated SiO2 waveguide for evanescent wave sensing is demonstrated. The surface morphology and transmission loss of the nano-functionalized waveguide are investigated. The specific design and fabrication of asymmetric Mach-Zehnder interferometers (AMZIs) are performed based on the optical properties of ZIF-8. Such efforts in waveguide engineering result in an output interfering spectrum of nano-functionalized AMZI with an ultra-high extinction ratio (28.6 dB), low insertion loss (∼13 dB) and suitable free spectral range (∼30 nm). More significantly, the outstanding sensing features of ZIF-8 are successfully realized on the SiO2 waveguide chip. The results of ethanol detection show that the AMZI sensor has a large detection range (0 to 1000 ppm), high sensitivity (19 pm ppm-1 from 0 to 50 ppm or 41 pm ppm-1 from 600 to 1000 ppm) and low detection limit (1.6 ppm or 740 ppb). This combination of nanotechnology and optical waveguide technology is promising to push forward lab-on-waveguide technology for volatile organic compound (VOC) detection.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are exceptionally large surface area materials with organized porous cages that have been investigated for nearly three decades. Due to the flexibility in their design and predisposition toward functionalization, they have shown promise in many areas of application, including chemical sensing. Consequently, they are identified as advanced materials with potential for deployment in analytical devices for chemical and biochemical sensing applications, where high sensitivity is desirable, for example, in environmental monitoring and to advance personal diagnostics. To keep abreast of new research, which signposts the future directions in the development of MOF-based chemical sensors, this review examines studies since 2015 that focus on the applications of MOF films and devices in chemical sensing. Various examples that use MOF films in solid-state sensing applications were drawn from recent studies based on electronic, electrochemical, electromechanical and optical sensing methods. These examples underscore the readiness of MOFs to be integrated in optical and electronic analytical devices. Also, preliminary demonstrations of future sensors are indicated in the performances of MOF-based wearables and smartphone sensors. This review will inspire collaborative efforts between scientists and engineers working within the field of MOFs, leading to greater innovations and accelerating the development of MOF-based analytical devices for chemical and biochemical sensing applications.

Abstract
A ring resonator-based biochemistry sensor with a wide range, ultra-compact footprint, and high sensitivity is proposed, which utilizes a suspended slot hybrid plasmonic (SSHP) waveguide. The waveguide consists of a suspended Si nanowire separated from a Cu metal surface by a nanoscale air gap. The hybridization of fundamental mode of a Si channel waveguide with the surface plasmon polariton (SPP) mode of Cu-Si interface achieves a strong light confinement, high waveguide sensitivity (Sw), and low optical loss, showing a great potential in integrated optical sensor. The sensitivity, the detection limit and the detection range of the SSHP waveguide-based biochemistry sensor with a miniaturized radius of 1 µm are numerically demonstrated as 458.1 nm/RIU, 3.7 × 10-5 RIU and 0.225 RIU, respectively. These superior performances as well as the fully CMOS compatibility enable the integrated optical sensing applications.

Abstract
In the last two decades, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted overwhelming attention. With readily tunable structures and functionalities, MOFs offer an unprecedentedly vast degree of design flexibility from enormous number of inorganic and organic building blocks or via postsynthetic modification to produce functional nanoporous materials. A large extent of experimental and computational studies of MOFs have been focused on gas phase applications, particularly the storage of low-carbon footprint energy carriers and the separation of CO2-containing gas mixtures. With progressive success in the synthesis of water- and solvent-resistant MOFs over the past several years, the increasingly active exploration of MOFs has been witnessed for widespread liquid phase applications such as liquid fuel purification, aromatics separation, water treatment, solvent recovery, chemical sensing, chiral separation, drug delivery, biomolecule encapsulation and separation. At this juncture, the recent experimental and computational studies are summarized herein for these multifaceted liquid phase applications to demonstrate the rapid advance in this burgeoning field. The challenges and opportunities moving from laboratory scale towards practical applications are discussed.

Abstract
Refractive-index (RI)-based sensing is a major optical sensing modality that can be implemented in various spectral ranges. While it has been widely used for sensing of biochemical liquids, RI-based gas sensing, particularly small-molecule gases, is challenging due to the extremely small RI change induced by gas concentration variations. We propose a RI-based ultracompact fiber-optic differential gas sensor that employs metal-organic-framework (MOF)-based dual Fabry-Perot (FP) nanocavities. A MOF is used as the FP cavity material to enhance the sensitivity as well as the selectivity to particular gas molecules. The differential sensing scheme leverages the opposite change in the cavity-length-dependent reflection of the two FP cavities, which further enhances the sensitivity compared with single FP cavity based sensing. For proof-of-concept, a fiber-optic CO2 sensor with ZIF-8-based dual FP nanocavities was fabricated. The effective footprint of the sensor was as small as 157 µm2 and the sensor showed an enhanced sensitivity of 48.5 mV/CO2Vol%, a dynamic range of 0-100 CO2Vol%, and a resolution of 0.019 CO2Vol% with 1 Hz low-pass filtering. Although the current sensor was only demonstrated for CO2 sensing, the proposed sensor concept can be used for sensing of a variety of gases when different kinds of MOFs are utilized.

Abstract
The utilization of refractive index (RI) change due to guest-host interactions between the guest volatile organic compound vapor and porous metal-organic frameworks (vapor-MOF interactions) is promising in photonic vapor sensors. Therefore, the study of light-matter interactions in nanoporous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is fundamental and essential for MOF-based photonic devices. In this work, the manipulation of light in MOFs to investigate the vapor-MOF interactions by using optical fiber devices is demonstrated. The vapor-MOF interactions and the light-vapor interactions (light in MOFs to sense the RI changes resulting from the vapor-MOF interactions) are investigated. The cladding mode is excited by a long-period fiber grating (LPFG) for evanescent field sensing in a ZIF-8 sensitive coating. The experimental results combining quantum chemical calculations and optical simulations reveal the relationships between the microscopic energy of vapor desorption, RI changes and evanescent field enhancement in ZIF-8 during the vapor-MOF interactions. With exceptionally large RI changes, the evanescent field of cladding mode in ZIF-8 is greatly enhanced to sense the vapor-MOF interactions. As a proof-of-concept, a LPFG sensor with ZIF-8 coating showed a high sensitivity of 1.33 pm ppm-1 in the linear range from 9.8 ppm to 540 ppm for the sensing of ethanol vapor. The investigation of light-matter interactions in ZIF-8 provides a useful guideline for the design and fabrication of MOF-based optical waveguide/fiber sensors.

Abstract
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are extremely harmful to the human body and environment, thus it is greatly meaningful and urgent to detect VOCs. In this work, terbium-based metal-organic frameworks (Tb-MOFs) have been prepared successfully via a facile and efficient route. These well-constructed Tb-MOFs architectures exhibit characteristic green emission of Tb3+ ion upon excitation of UV light. It is noteworthy that the Tb-MOFs can act as a convenient and efficient luminescent sensor for VOCs. Especially, the Tb-MOFs displayed high selectivity and superior sensitivity towards the sensing of styrene solution and vapor through fluorescence quenching mechanism. The Tb-MOFs can realize fast detection for styrene vapor with a response time of 30 s. The mechanism of fluorescence quenching of Tb-MOFs induced by styrene was also discussed. More importantly, we have designed a logic gate operation with the combination of the sensor for the intelligent detection of styrene. This developed type of lanthanide luminescent metal-organic frameworks (Ln-MOFs) based on the combination of fluorescence sensor and logic gate has a great application prospect in the detection of VOCs in daily life.

Abstract
Formaldehyde is a volatile organic compound (VOC) with extensive applications, volatility, and toxicity, which have made it an important risk to human health even at low concentrations. Therefore, rapid detection of formaldehyde vapors in the environment is a necessity. Herein, we introduce a resistive gas sensor based on zeolitic imidazolate framework-8/multiwalled carbon nanotube (ZIF-8/MWCNT) for detection of formaldehyde vapors at room temperature. In this sensor, a low amount of MWCNTs was used in order to improve the electrical conductivity of the porous nanoparticles of ZIF-8. The sensor was fabricated by deposition of a thin layer of the nanocomposite onto interdigitated electrodes, and its sensing ability was investigated on exposure to formaldehyde vapors. The obtained sensor showed sensitive and fast responses to different concentrations of formaldehyde, and the sensor response to formaldehyde was higher than toward some other VOCs, including methanol, ethanol, acetone, and acetonitrile. Furthermore, because of the hydrophobic nature of ZIF-8, the effect of relative humidity on the gas-sensing performance was insignificant, which proves that this sensor is suitable for use under humid conditions.

Abstract
Advances in mid-IR lasers, detectors, and nanofabrication technology have enabled new device architectures to implement on-chip sensing applications. In particular, direct integration of plasmonic resonators with a dielectric waveguide can generate an ultra-compact device architecture for biochemical sensing via surface-enhanced infrared absorption (SEIRA) spectroscopy. A theoretical investigation of such a hybrid architecture is imperative for its optimization. In this work, we investigate the coupling mechanism between a plasmonic resonator array and a waveguide using temporal coupled-mode theory and numerical simulation. The results conclude that the waveguide transmission extinction ratio reaches maxima when the resonator-waveguide coupling rate is maximal. Moreover, after introducing a model analyte in the form of an oscillator coupled with the plasmonics-waveguide system, the transmission curve with analyte absorption can be fitted successfully. We conclude that the extracted sensing signal can be maximized when analyte absorption frequency is the same as the transmission minima, which is different from the plasmonic resonance frequency. This conclusion is in contrast to the dielectric resonator scenario and provides an important guideline for design optimization and sensitivity improvement of future devices.

Abstract
Microporous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are promising candidate materials for chemical sensing, but the reproducible fabrication of MOF-based sensors with optimized and stable performances remains a significant challenge. Here, we report the fabrication of MOF optical sensors with steady but tunable optical properties via assembling UiO-66 crystals with controllable sizes and missing-linker defects. The well-defined but tunable microscopic and mesoscopic structural features of MOF sensing components greatly facilitate the optimization of device performance. The UiO-66 crystal-assembled sensors display fast response (2.00 s) and short recovery (3.00 s) to ethanol vapor (one of the analytes we tested). Our systematical investigation indicates that the mesoporous features of sensing components contribute greatly to the enhanced sensitivity (by ∼24.6% to the saturated ethanol vapor), response speed (by ∼42.9%), and recovery speed (by ∼59.7%) of the crystal-assembled sensors in comparison to their dense counterpart. The building crystal sizes show a slight influence on the response speed but profound effects on the sensitivity and recovery performances of sensors. The missing-linker defects have obvious beneficial effects on the desorption kinetics of analyte and can cause a faster recovery of sensors.

Abstract
We demonstrate the chemical characterization of aerosol particles with on-chip spectroscopy using a photonic cavity enhanced silicon nitride (Si3N4) racetrack resonator-based sensor. The sensor operates over a broad and continuous wavelength range, showing cavity enhanced sensitivity at specific resonant wavelengths. Analysis of the relative change in the quality factor of the cavity resonances successfully yields the absorption spectrum of the aerosol particles deposited on the resonators. Detection of N-methyl aniline-based aerosol in the near infrared (NIR) range of 1500 to 1600 nm is demonstrated. Our aerosol sensor spectral data compares favorably with that from a commercial spectrometer, indicating good accuracy. The small size of the device is advantageous in remote, environmental, medical, and body-wearable sensing applications.

Abstract
Metal-organic framework (MOF) thin films are promising materials for multiple technological applications, such as chemical sensing. However, one potential limitation for their widespread use in different settings is their stability in aqueous environments. In the case of ZIF-8 (zeolitic imidazolate framework) thin films, their stability in aqueous media is currently a matter of debate. Here, we show that optical waveguide spectroscopy (OWS), in combination with surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectroscopy, offers a convenient way for answering intriguing questions related to the stability of MOF thin films in aqueous solutions and, eventually provide a tool for assessing changes in MOF layers under different environmental conditions. Our experiments relied on the use of ZIF-8 thin films grown on surface-modified gold substrates, as optical waveguides. We have found a linear thickness increase after each growing cycle and observed that the growing characteristics are strongly influenced by the nature of the primer layer. One of our findings is that substrate surface modification with a 3-mercapto-1-propanesulfonate (MPSA) primer layer is critical to achieve ZIF-8 layers that can effectively act as optical waveguides. We observed that ZIF-8 films are structurally stable upon exposure to pure water and 50 mM NaCl solutions but they exhibit a slight swelling and an increase in porosity probably due to the permeation of the solvent in the intergrain mesoporous cavities. However, OWS revealed that exposure of ZIF-8 thin films to phosphate-buffered saline solutions (pH 8) promotes significant film degradation. This poses an important question as to the prospective use of ZIF-8 materials in biologically relevant applications. In addition, it was demonstrated that postsynthetic polyelectrolyte modification of ZIF-8 films has no detrimental effects on the structural stability of the films.
