In this letter, we present a nanophotonic device consisting of plasmonic nanopatch array (NPA) with integrated metal–organic framework (MOF) for enhanced infrared absorption gas sensing. By designing a gold NPA on a sapphire substrate, we are able to achieve enhanced optical field that spatially overlaps with the MOF layer, which can adsorb carbon dioxide (CO ₂) with high capacity. Additionally, experimental results show that this hybrid plasmonic–MOF device can effectively increase the infrared absorption path of on-chip gas sensors by more than 1100-fold. Lastly, the demonstration of infrared absorption spectroscopy of CO ₂ using the hybrid plasmonic–MOF device proves a promising strategy for future on-chip gas sensing with ultra-compact size.

Surface-Enhanced Infrared Absorption: Pushing the Frontier for On-Chip Gas Sensing

Journal Article Chong, Xinyuan ; Zhang, Yujing ; Li, Erwen ; ... December 2017 - ACS Sensors

Surface-enhanced infrared absorption (SEIRA) is capable of identifying molecular fingerprints by resonant detection of infrared vibrational modes through the coupling with plasmonic modes of metallic nanostructures. However, SEIRA for on-chip gas sensing is still not very successful due to the intrinsically weak light-matter interaction between photons and gas molecules and the technical challenges in accumulating sufficient gas species in the vicinity of the spatially localized enhanced electric field, namely, the “hot-spots”, generated through plasmonics. In this paper, we present a suspended silicon nitride (Si ₃N ₄) nanomembrane device by integrating plasmonic nanopatch gold antennas with metal–organic framework (MOF), which canmore »« less
Enhanced generation and anisotropic Coulomb scattering of hot electrons in an ultra-broadband plasmonic nanopatch metasurface

Journal Article Sykes, Matthew E. ; Stewart, Jon W. ; Akselrod, Gleb M. ; ... October 2017 - Nature Communications

The creation of energetic electrons through plasmon excitation of nanostructures before thermalization has been proposed for a wide number of applications in optical energy conversion and ultrafast nanophotonics. However, the use of "nonthermal" electrons is primarily limited by both a low generation efficiency and their ultrafast decay. We report experimental and theoretical results on the use of broadband plasmonic nanopatch metasurfaces comprising a gold substrate coupled to silver nanocubes that produce large concentrations of hot electrons, which we measure using transient absorption spectroscopy. We find evidence for three subpopulations of nonthermal carriers which we propose arise from anisotropic electron-electron scatteringmore »« less

Hybrid Polymer/Metal–Organic Framework Films for Colorimetric Water Sensing over a Wide Concentration Range [Hybrid Polymer/MOF Films for Colorimetric Water Sensing over a Wide Concentration Range]

Journal Article Ullman, Andrew M. ; Jones, Christopher G. ; Doty, F. Patrick ; ... June 2018 - ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces

Because of their extraordinary surface areas and tailorable porosity, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have the potential to be excellent sensors of gas-phase analytes. MOFs with open metal sites are particularly attractive for detecting Lewis basic atmospheric analytes, such as water. Here, we demonstrate that thin films of the MOF HKUST-1 can be used to quantitatively determine the relative humidity (RH) of air using a colorimetric approach. HKUST-1 thin films are spin-coated onto rigid or flexible substrates and are shown to quantitatively determine the RH within the range of 0.1–5% RH by either visual observation or a straightforward optical reflectivity measurement.

Metal–Organic Framework Thin Film Coated Optical Fiber Sensors: A Novel Waveguide-Based Chemical Sensing Platform

Journal Article Kim, Ki-Joong ; Lu, Ping ; Culp, Jeffrey T. ; ... January 2018 - ACS Sensors

Integration of optical fiber with sensitive thin films offers great potential for the realization of novel chemical sensing platforms. In this study, we present a simple design strategy and high performance of nanoporous metal–organic framework (MOF) based optical gas sensors, which enables detection of a wide range of concentrations of small molecules based upon extremely small differences in refractive indices as a function of analyte adsorption within the MOF framework. Thin and compact MOF films can be uniformly formed and tightly bound on the surface of etched optical fiber through a simple solution method which is critical for manufacturability ofmore »« less
