Abstract

A 3D metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) crystals film is obtained via Langmuir-Blodgett technique and used as a photonic sensor for chemical vapor detection. The MOFs crystals film exhibits both acute responses towards various chemical vapors and high controllability in terms of peak intensity and position. The method represents a general, facile and flexible strategy for the fabrication of MOFs-based photonic sensors.

Keywords: Langmuir-Blodgett films; metal-organic frameworks; self-assembly; sensors.
