Abstract
Sensitive to TNT vapor: Porphyrin-doped silica films with bimodal porous structures, fabricated using a dual template approach, exhibit remarkable sensitivity towards traces of TNT vapour. These hierarchically structured nanocomposites serve as useful chemosensory materials for rapid detection of explosives (see picture).
