Laser-Induced and MOF-Derived Metal Oxide/Carbon Composite for Synergistically Improved Ethanol Sensing at Room temperature.

ABSTRACT: Advancements in sensor technology have significantly enhanced atmospheric monitoring. Notably, metal oxide and carbon (MO_x/C) hybrids have gained attention for their exceptional sensitivity and room-temperature sensing performance. However, previous methods of synthesizing MO_x/C composites suffer from problems, including inhomogeneity, aggregation, and challenges in micropatterning. Herein, we introduce a refined method that employs a metal-organic framework (MOF) as a precursor combined with direct laser writing. The inherent structure of MOFs ensures a uniform distribution of metal ions and organic linkers, yielding homogeneous MO_x/C structures. The laser processing facilitates precise micropatterning (< 2 μm, comparable to typical photolithography) of th
