Improving Sensitivity of a Chemoresistive Hydrogen Sensor by Combining ZIF-8 and ZIF-67 Nanocrystals
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the present work, nanostructures of zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIF-8 and ZIF-67) were combined to obtain a novel chemoresistive sensor, improving the sensitivity of ZIF-67 and facilitating measurement of ZIF-8 by decreasing the resistivity. The sensor detected concentrations as low as 10 ppm of hydrogen increasing its resistivity about 4.5 times. The response of the sensor was compared with a similar chemoresistive sensor based exclusively on ZIF-67, and the sensitivity was around three times higher in the case of the sensor with ZIFs combination.

Stabilization of graphene quantum dots (GQDs) by encapsulation inside zeolitic imidazolate framework nanocrystals for photoluminescence tuning.
Luminescent graphene quantum dots (GQDs) are encapsulated and stabilized in Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework (ZIF-8) nanocrystals. The GQDs are well confined due to the adsorption on the growing face of the ZIF-8 nanocrystals and have a profound effect on the shape of the nanocrystals from rhombic dodecahedron to spherical. Stabilizing GQDs inside the ZIF-8 nanocrystals results in tailoring of th...
متن کاملZinc-substituted ZIF-67 nanocrystals and polycrystalline membranes for propylene/propane separation.
Continuous ZIF-67 polycrystalline membranes with effective propylene/propane separation performances were successfully fabricated through the incorporation of zinc ions into the ZIF-67 framework. The separation factor increases from 1.4 for the pure ZIF-67 membrane to 50.5 for the 90% zinc-substituted ZIF-67 membrane.

This paper reports for the first time in situ crystal growth of ZIF-8 on electrospun polyurethane (PU) nanofibers. In SEM images, continuous and compact ZIF-8 nanocrystals grow along electrospun PU nanofibers. The highest loading capacity of ZIF-8 on PU reaches 63%. By N2 adsorption-desorption, ZIF-8-PU shows a high surface area of 566 cm(2) g(-1). Combining the good flexibility of PU with the ...
متن کاملAssessment of the energetic performances of various ZIFs with SOD or RHO topology using high pressure water intrusion-extrusion experiments.
The energetic performances of seven SOD or RHO-topology ZIFs, with zinc or cobalt metal cation (ZIF-8, ZIF-90, Zn(dcim)2-SALE, ZIF-67, ZIF-7, ZIF-71, ZIF-11) were evaluated using water intrusion-extrusion under high pressure. The relationship between the structural parameters (in particular the pore system SOD or RHO, the type of linker, the metal cation nature) and the intrusion pressure was s...

In this study, ZIF-67 was synthesized through solvothermal method to remove Cr(VI) ions from aqueous solution. To improve the structural properties of ZIF-67 and its adsorption capacity, optimization of the synthesis conditions was carried out based on maximum Cr(VI) uptake. From experiments, the optimum condition was revealed as solvent: metal ion molar ratio of 4.6:1, ligand: metal ion molar ...
