Abstract

Abstract : ZnO nanorods were converted to ZIF-8 films on silicon microcantilevers and the response to alcohol vapor was examined. Abstract : Zinc oxide nanorods were synthesized directly on a silicon microcantilever and converted into a nanoporous ZIF-8 film via a solvothermal reaction. The simultaneous measurements of the resonance frequency and deflection of the cantilever revealed that the adsorption of alcohol vapors induced a structural change in the ZIF-8 framework.
