| Abstract | Ecofriendly agricultural practices encourage pheromone usage, but cost is a major limitation for pheromone-based techniques. Hence, various slow-release technologies have been developed to provide-controlled release, reducing the cost of source compounds. Here, we have identified a graphene oxide edifice that allows the controlled release of a complex pheromone cocktail with compounds having different polarities through ratio-metric molecular pockets. These pockets resemble liquid crystals and show both controlled release as well as stimulus-responsive burst release without charring. These properties are beneficial for pest control. |
