Project description DEENESFRITPL A portable gas sensor based on metal-organic frameworks Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are versatile compounds made up of metal ions connected to organic ligands, thus forming one-, two- or three-dimensional structures. Their tuneable porosity and other properties render them promising for use in various fields, from electrocatalysis to semiconductors, gas separation and carbon capture. The EU-funded SPRINT project previously developed and improved thin film deposition methods for MOFs. The EU-funded MOVOS project now aims to demonstrate MOF-based sensors based on these films for food freshness monitoring as well as to increase market and technical knowledge by closely interacting with the value chain. The project is expected to develop a portable gas sensor demonstrator that builds on the advances made in SPRINT. Show the project objective Hide the project objective Objective Considerable progress has been made in the FET Open SPRINT project. Technology has been developed for the vapour phase deposition of metal-organic framework thin films in mild conditions. Metal-organic frameworks are crystalline nanoporous materials of which the pore properties can be tuned. Derivative applications of this technology are being explored such as gas sensors and low-k insulator films for microelectronics. Proof-of-concept gas sensors based on MOF thin films have been built and evaluated. MOVOS focuses on gas sensors and aims to build market and technical knowledge by close interaction with the value chain. In addition a portable demonstrator will be developed that builds further on the lab sensor concepts.
