Abstract
We have leveraged chemical-induced changes to microwave signal propagation characteristics (i.e., S-parameters) to characterize the detection of aliphatic alcohol (methanol, ethanol, and 2-propanol) vapors using TCNQ-doped HKUST-1 metal-organic-framework as the sensing material, at temperatures under 100 °C. We show that the sensitivity of aliphatic alcohol detection depends on the oxidation potential of the analyte, while the impedance of the detection setup depends on the analyte-loading of the sensing medium. The microwaves-based detection technique can afford new mechanistic insights into the VOC detection, with surface anchored metal-organic frameworks, that are inaccessible with the traditional coulometric (i.e., resistance-based) measurements.Citation
