Synthesis of hydrophobic MIL-53(Al) nanoparticles in low molecular weight alcohols: systematic investigation of solvent effects (2018)
Journal Article
Warfsman, J., Tokay, B., & Champness, N. (2018). Synthesis of hydrophobic MIL-53(Al) nanoparticles in low molecular weight alcohols: systematic investigation of solvent effects. CrystEngComm, 20(32), 4666-4675. https://doi.org/10.1039/C8CE00913A

The effects of using low-weight alcohols, methanol and ethanol, for the synthesis of MIL-53(Al) are investigated and the results directly compared with analogous synthesis in water and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF). When methanol is employed in the syn... Read More about Synthesis of hydrophobic MIL-53(Al) nanoparticles in low molecular weight alcohols: systematic investigation of solvent effects.

Highly sensitive volatile organic compounds vapour measurements using a long period grating optical fibre sensor coated with metal organic framework ZIF-8 (2018)
Journal Article
Hromadka, J., Tokay, B., Correia, R., Morgan, S. P., & Korposh, S. (2018). Highly sensitive volatile organic compounds vapour measurements using a long period grating optical fibre sensor coated with metal organic framework ZIF-8. Sensors and Actuators B: Chemical, 260, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.snb.2018.01.015

An optical fibre long period grating (LPG) based volatile organic compound (VOC) sensor coated with ZIF-8, a material from the zeolite imidazolate framework (ZIF) family, functional coating is presented. ZIF-8 film was deposited onto the surface of t...
