Description
Summary:Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have broad application prospects in the development of efficient, sensitive and single select gas sensors. However, in order to construct a chemical resistance gas sensor based on MOFs, the problem of poor conductivity of MOFs must be solved. In this work, we synthesized CoCe-BTC, which based on the organic ligands of trimesic acid (H<sub>3</sub>BTC) by the water bath method and prepared CoCe-BTC/PEDOT composite film on an interdigital electrode by the spin coating process. Compared with pure MOF material, the conductivity of CoCe-BTC/PEDOT is significantly improved. Under a dry room temperature environment and N<sub>2</sub> as the carrier gas, the response of the sensor to NO<sub>2</sub> is about 1.2 times that of pure PEDOT and has a shorter response time. It has great repeatability and selectivity and shows a dynamic response with the change of NO<sub>2</sub> gas concentration (5–50 ppm).
