MOF/COF heterostructure hybrid composite-based molecularly imprinted photoelectrochemical sensing platform for determination of dibutyl phthalate: A further expansion for MOF/COF application

Yukun Yang et al.

Summary: A novel metal-organic framework (MOF)/covalent-organic framework (COF) heterostructure hybrid composite (NH2-UiO-66/TpPa-1-COF) was synthesized and applied as a photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensitized layer in a molecularly imprinted PEC sensor for sensitive determination of dibutyl phthalate (DBP).

A molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) was incorporated as the recognition component of the PEC sensor, enabling specific binding of DBP and decreased photocurrent response. The MIP-PEC sensor showed a wide detection range and good stability, selectivity, reproducibility, and applicability in real samples.
