Conductive metal-organic framework percolation networks for chemiresistive gas sensing

Thesis

Chemiresistive gas sensors are used in industrial safety, healthcare, and domestic settings. Most commercially available chemiresistors use metal oxide semiconductors as the active material, which typically require high operating temperatures above 300°C. In contrast, conductive metal-organic frameworks (c-MOFs) have emerged as promising alternatives for developing room-temperature chemiresistors. To date, efforts to enhance the sensitivity of c-MOF-based sensors have primarily focused on the...
