研究目的
Investigating the light–matter interactions in nanoporous metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) for the application of MOF materials in RI-based photonic devices.
研究成果
The study demonstrated strong light–matter interactions in MOFs through both vapor–MOF and light–vapor interactions. The large RI changes in ZIF-8 due to vapor adsorption significantly enhanced the evanescent field for sensing. The LPFG sensor with ZIF-8 coating showed high sensitivity for ethanol vapor sensing, providing a guideline for MOF-based photonic devices.
研究不足
The study focuses on ZIF-8 and a limited set of volatile organic compounds, which may not represent all MOFs or vapors. The sensitivity and selectivity of the sensor could be further optimized.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study utilized optical fiber devices to manipulate light in MOFs for investigating vapor–MOF interactions. A long-period fiber grating (LPFG) was used to excite a cladding mode for evanescent field sensing in a ZIF-8 sensitive coating.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
ZIF-8, a prototypical MOF with a large surface area and excellent chemical stability, was coated on the cladding of optical fiber devices to interact with guest organic solvent vapors.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
CO2 laser (CO2-H10, Han’s Laser) for LPFG fabrication, SEM for imaging, and optical simulation tools like COMSOL Multiphysics.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
In situ growth of ZIF-8 on fiber, fabrication of LPFG devices, and monitoring of vapor–MOF interactions through optical fiber devices.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Quantum chemical calculations and optical simulations were used to analyze the relationships between vapor desorption energy, RI changes, and evanescent field enhancement.
