Projectdetails

Introduction

Detecting volatile organic compounds (VOCs) at low concentrations is an important but challenging task with a range of applications, including checking food freshness, monitoring indoor air quality, and diagnosing lung conditions through breath analysis. In all of these areas, high-performance yet compact VOC sensors are needed.

Challenges with Current Sensors

While compact VOC sensors exist, they suffer from:

  • Limited lifetimes
  • Low selectivities
  • Often produce questionable data

The Role of Metal-Organic Frameworks

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with pores of molecular dimensions are excellent materials to adsorb VOC analytes from air, even at very low concentrations.

Project Goals

The MOFFET project targets the integration of MOFs with transistor technology to realize a novel type of VOC sensor. In addition, the modular nature of MOFs and microfabrication will be combined to realize an ‘electronic nose’ demonstrator for the selective detection in mixtures of VOCs.

Expected Outcomes

If successful, the project will contribute to:

  1. Novel, non-invasive medical diagnostics
  2. Checking food freshness
  3. Monitoring air quality
