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. At high humidity (>10% RH), a polymer/MOF bilayer is used to slow the transport of H₂O to the MOF film, enabling quantitative determination of RH using time as the distinguishing metric. Lastly, the sensor is combined with an inexpensive light-emitting diode light source and Si photodiode detector to demonstrate a quantitative humidity detector for low humidity environments.
