On the Use of MOFs and ALD Layers as Nanomembranes for the Enhancement of Gas Sensors Selectivity

Abstract: Improving the selectivity of gas sensors is crucial for their further development. One effective route to enhance this key property of sensors is the use of selective nanomembrane materials. This work aims to present how metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and thin films prepared by atomic layer deposition (ALD) can be applied as nanomembranes to separate different gases, and hence improve the selectivity of gas sensing devices. First, the fundamentals of the mechanisms and configuration of gas sensors will be giv… Show more

“…The porous nature of this family of compounds as well as their structural diversity has led to a wide range of potential applications being investigated. The properties of these materials which could lead to applications include: gas adsorption/separation [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ], catalysis [ 5 , 6 ], drug delivery and biomedicine [ 7 , 8 ], photoluminescence sensors [ 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 ], magnetism [ 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 ], proton conductivity [ 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 ], or mechanical energy storage, among others [ 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 ]. Prior to its further use for an application, significant effort must be devoted to the characterization of the thermal and mechanical stability of MOFs [ 41 , 42 ].…”

“…The resistance-based hydrogen sensors are devised with a metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) layer on an insulating platform, two electrodes, and a heating material often placed under the sensing layer . The resistance of the sensing layer would change linearly when exposed to different concentrations of hydrogen gas, within a specific range and time, and also according to the surface area and the microstructure of the sensing layer . A hydrogen sensor was designed using mesoporous In 2 O 3 synthesized through hydrothermal reaction and calcination processes to generate large surface areas.…”

“…Still, selectivity and zero cross-sensitivity continue to be fundamental research challenges after many years of research. 115–118 The conventional techniques or sensors available to detect trace gas suffer from many drawbacks and selectivity. However, good selectivity from a simple, robust, and cost-effective gas sensor or technique is still the researcher's dream.…”
