Drastic selectivity reversal on crown-ether based ion-sensing membranes made of ordered mesoporous silica and conventional sol-gel derived one.
A crown-ether based ion sensor, in which ordered mesoporous silica was used as a membrane material, was fabricated for the first time, and drastic selectivity reversal was attained in comparison with conventional sol-gel derived membrane based on the same crown ether.
