Metal–Organic Framework‐Surface‐Enhanced Infrared Absorption Platform Enables Simultaneous On‐Chip Sensing of Greenhouse Gases

Simultaneous on‐chip sensing of multiple greenhouse gases in a complex gas environment is highly desirable in industry, agriculture, and meteorology, but remains challenging due to their ultralow concentrations and mutual interference. Porous microstructure and extremely high surface areas in metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) provide both excellent adsorption selectivity and high gases affinity for multigas sensing. Herein, it is described that integrating MOFs into a multiresonant surface‐enhanced infrared absorption (SEIRA) platform can overcome the shortcomings of poor selectivity in multigas sensing and enable simultaneous on‐chip sensing of greenhouse gases with ultralow concentrations. The strategy leverages the near‐field intensity enhancement (over 1500‐fold) of multiresonant SEIRA technique and the outstanding gas selectivity and affinity of MOFs. It is experimentally demonstrated that the MOF–SEIRA platform achieves simultaneous on‐chip sensing of CO(2) and CH(4) with fast response time (<60 s), high accuracy (CO(2): 1.1%, CH(4): 0.4%), small footprint (100 × 100 µm(2)), and excellent linearity in wide concentration range (0–2.5 × 10(4) ppm). Additionally, the excellent scalability to detect more gases is explored. This work opens up exciting possibilities for the implementation of all‐in‐one, real‐time, and on‐chip multigas detection as well as provides a valuable toolkit for greenhouse gas sensing applications.
