Surface-Mounted Metal-Organic Framework for the Adsorption and Sensing of Monoaromatic Pollutants in Water Using Quartz Crystal Microbalance
Summary
A water-repellent metal-organic framework with narrow pores, UHMOF-100, is grown layer by layer on QCM resonators to pick out BTEX pollutants (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylenes) from water. The coated sensors measured each compound between 0 and 50 mg/L, down to 5 mg/L, with little interference from polar contaminants and stable operation under continuous flow; the authors describe it as the first MOF-based QCM sensor for BTEX in water.
