Cover Story: Mirica and co-workers report a simple method for drawing chemiresistive sensors on paper using blends of two-dimensional metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and graphite. These devices detect and differentiate gases at ppm concentrations. Graphite acts as a conductive binder of MOF crystallites and facilitates the deposition of the sensing material into the device. Possible modes for material-analyte interactions may include direct coordination to the metal center or hydrogen bonding to the hydrated surface of the MOF. View the paper here.
