Abstract
The detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from exhaled human breath is fast becoming an acceptable technique for easy and rapid testing for several illnesses. There is great potential for the development of COVID-19 breath tests as an easier alternative to the current invasive PCR testing methods. This dissertation discusses the investigation of material design for the selective capture of four VOCs that have been identified as biomarkers for COVID-19 under humid conditions using carbons, zeolites, and especially metal-organic framework (MOF) adsorbents.
