A layered mesoporous carbon sensor based on nanopore-filling cooperative adsorption in the liquid phase.

Tea or coffee? The layer-by-layer assembly of mesoporous carbon onto a quartz crystal microbalance results in a structure (see picture) that can be used for highly selective in situ measurement of nonionic aqueous guests, such as tea components.
