Abstract

ABSTRACT: A zinc-based metal-organic framework, MOF-177, was synthesized on the surface of benzoic acid functionalized reduced graphene oxide (BFG). Large amount of BFG (30wt %) slightly improved the stability of the MOF on the graphene surface, decreased the porosity of the composite, and resulted in 1mm long and 50µm wide microrods of MOF-177/BFG composites which act as a selective sensor for trinitrophenol compared to trinitrotoluene.
