▎ 摘  要

Gas sensing based on graphene field-effect transistors (GFETs) has gained broad interest due to their high sensitivity. Further progress in gas sensing with GFETs requires to detection of various odor molecules for ap-plications in the environmental monitoring, healthcare, food, and cosmetic industries. To develop the ubiquitous odor-sensing system, establishing an artificial sense of smell with electronic devices by mimicking olfactory receptors will be key. Although the application of olfactory receptors to GFETs is straightforward for odor sensing, synthetic molecules with a similar function to olfactory receptors would be desirable to realize the robust performance of sensing. In this work, we designed three new peptides consisting of two domains: a bio-probe to the target molecules and a molecular scaffold. These peptides were rationally designed based on a motif sequence in olfactory receptors and self-assembled into a molecular thin film on GFETs. Limonene, methyl sa-licylate, and menthol were employed as representative odor molecules of plant flavors to demonstrate the bio-sensing of odor molecules. The conductivity change of GFETs against the binding to odor molecules with various concentrations and the dynamic response revealed a distinct signature of three different peptides against indi-vidual species of the target molecules. The kinetic response of each peptide exhibited characteristic time con-stants in the adsorption and desorption process, also supported by the principal component analysis. Our demonstration of the graphene odor sensors with the designed peptides opens a way to establish future peptide-array sensors with multi-sequence of peptide, realizing an odor sensing system with higher selectivity.
