Metal–organic frameworks(MOFs), also known as porous coordination polymers, are a fascinating class of highly ordered crystalline coordination polymers formed by the coordination of metal ions/clusters and organic bridging linkers/ligands. Owing to their unique structures and properties,i.e., high surface area, tailorable pore size, high density of active sites, and high catalytic activity, various MOF-based sensing platforms have been reported for environmental contaminant detection including anions, heavy metal ions,organic compounds, and gases. In this review, recent progress in MOF-based environmental sensors is introduced with a focus on optical, electrochemical, and field-effect transistor sensors. The sensors have shown unique and promising performance in water and gas contaminant sensing.

文摘Precise and continuous monitoring of biochemicals by biosensors assists to understand physiological functions for various diagnostics and therapeutic applications.For implanted biosensors,small size and flexibility are essential for minimizing tissue damage and achieving accurate detection.However,the active surface area of sensor decreases as the sensor becomes smaller,which will increase the impedance and decrease the signal to noise ratio,resulting in a poor detection limit.Taking advantages of local amplification effect,organic electrochemical transistors(OECTs)constitute promising candidates for high-sensitive monitoring.However,their detections in deep tissues are rarely reported.Herein,we report a family of implantable,fiber-shaped all-in-one OECTs based on carbon nanotube fibers for versatile biochemical detection including H2O2,glucose,dopamine and glutamate.These fiber-shaped OECTs demonstrated high sensitivity,dynamical stability in physiological environment and antiinterference capability.After implantation in mouse brain,7-day dopamine monitoring in vivo was realized for the first time.These fiber-shaped OECTs could be great additions to the"life science"tool box and represent promising avenue for biomedical monitoring.

文摘Theπ-πstacking is a well-recognized intermolecular interaction that is responsible for the construction of electron hopping channels in numerous conducting frameworks/aggregates.However,the exact role ofπ-to-πchannels within typical single crystalline organic semiconductors remains unclear as the orientations of these molecules are diverse,and their control usually requires additional side chain groups that misrepresent the intrinsic properties of the original semiconducting molecules.Therefore,the construction of conduction channels with intrinsicπ-πstacking in the molecule-based device is crucial for the utilization of their unique transport characteristics and understanding of the transport mechanism.To this end,we present a molecular intercalation strategy that integrates two-dimensional layered materials with functional organic semiconductor molecules for functional molecule-based electronics.Various organic semiconductor molecules can be effectively intercalated into the van der Waals gaps of semi-metallic TaS_(2) withπ-πstacking configuration and controlled intercalant content.Our results show that the vertical charge transport in the stacking direction shows a tunneling-dominated mechanism that strongly depends on the molecular structures.Furthermore,we demonstrated a new type of molecule-based vertical transistor in which TaS_(2) andπ-πstacked organic molecules function as the electrical contact and the active channel,respectively.On/off ratios as high as 447 are achieved under electrostatic modulation in ionic liquid,comparable to the current state-of-the-art molecular transistors.Our study provides an ideal platform for probing intrinsic charge transport acrossπ-πstacked conjugated molecules and also a feasible approach for the construction of high-performance molecule-based electronic devices.

文摘Copper is an essential element in the environment and the human body,but at the same time,exposure to high concentrations of Cu^(2+) ions will potentially lead to acute toxicity and various neurodegenerative diseases.Thus,it is of great significance for the development of highly sensitive and selective strategies for the detection of Cu^(2+) ions.Here,we report a highly efficient poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonic acid)(PEDOT:PSS) based organic electrochemical transistor(OECT)sensor,for real-time Cu^(2+) ions detection.The detection limit of the OECT device is as low as 100 nM,far beyond the sensitivity required for practical uses.The detection mechanism may base on the chemical reactivity of Cu^(2+) ions oxiding the PEDOT:PSS in solution both in absence and presence of the base potential.The OECT devices also exhibit excellent selective response to Cu^(2+)ions rather than other metal ions.Finally,we also demonstrate the determination of Cu^(2+) ions in tap water with the OECT Cu^(2+)sensor.Considering the high sensitivity and selectivity,as well as the real-time and low cost features of our Cu^(2+) OECT sensor,it is ideal for portable and disposable applications for environment monitoring and public health.
