Description
Metal Organic Frameworks(MOFs) have been used in various applications, including
sensors. The unique crystalline structure of MOFs in addition to controllability of
their pore size and their intake selectivity makes them a promising method of detection.
Detection of metal ions in water using a binary mixture of luminescent MOFs
has been reported. 3 MOFs(ZrPDA, UiO-66 and UiO-66-NH2) as detectors and 4
metal ions(Pb2+, Ni2+, Ba2+ and Cu2+) as the target species were chosen based on
cost, water stability, application and end goals.
It is possible to detect metal ions such as Pb2+ at concentrations at low as 0.005
molar using MOFs. Also, based on the luminescence responses, a method of distinguishing
between similar metal ions has been proposed. It is shown that using a
mixture of MOFs with dierent reaction to metal ions can lead to unique and specic
3D luminescence maps, which can be used to identify the present metal ions in water
and their amount.
In addition to the response of a single MOF to addition of a single metal ion,
luminescence response of ZrPDA + UiO-66 mixture to increasing concentration of
each of 4 metal ions was studied, and summarized. A new peak is observed in the
mixture, that did not exist before, and it is proposed that this peak requires metal
ions to activate
