▎ 摘  要

Two low-cost, micropatterned, solution-gated field effect transistors (modified FET and unmodified FET) based on reduced graphene oxide (RGO) were developed and used for detection and discrimination of nucleoside triphosphates (NTPs). The modified FET was realized by simple deposition of a positively charged bis-pyrenyl derivative, py-diIM-py, onto the conducting RGO strips of the unmodified FET. The electrical properties and sensing behaviors of the as-prepared devices were studied comprehensively. Electrical transfer property tests revealed that both of the two FETs exhibit V-shaped ambipolar field effect behavior from p-type region to n-type region. Sensing performance studies demonstrated that modification of the native FET with py-diIM-py improves its sensing ability to NTPs-GTP and ATP in particular. The detection limit of GTP and ATP was as low as 400 nM, which is the lowest value for graphene-based electronic sensors reported so far. Furthermore, based on the cross-reactive responses of the two devices to NTPs, NTPs can be conveniently distinguished via combining use of the two devices. The enhancement of the modifier (py-diIM-py) to the sensing performance of the FET is tentatively attributed to its possible mediation role in sticking onto RGO strips and accumulating analytes by electrostatic association with the relevant species. Because they are sensitive and fast in response, simple and low-cost in preparation, and possibly useful in sensor-array fabrication, the developed sensors show great potential in real-life application.
