▎ 摘  要

Cation-pi interactions between molecules and graphene are known to have a profound effect on the properties of the molecule/graphene nanohybrids and motivate this study to quantify the attachment of the rhodamine 6G (R6G) dye molecules on graphene and the photocarrier transfer channel formed across the R6G/graphene interface. By increasing the R6G areal density of the R6G on graphene field-effect transistor (GFET) from 0 up to approximate to 3.6 x 10(13)cm(-2), a linear shift of the Dirac point of the graphene from originally 1.2 V (p-doped) to -1 V (n-doped) is revealed with increasing number of R6G molecules. This indicates that the attachment of the R6G molecules on graphene is determined by the cation-pi interaction between the NH+ in R6G and pi electrons in graphene. Furthermore, a linear dependence of the photoresponse on the R6G molecule concentration to 550 nm illumination is observed on the R6G/graphene nanohybrid, suggesting that the cation-pi interaction controls the R6G attachment configuration to graphene to allow formation of identical photocarrier transfer channels. On R6G/graphene nanohybrid with 7.2 x 10(7)R6G molecules, high responsivity up to 5.15 x 10(2)A W(-1)is obtained, suggesting molecule/graphene nanohybrids are promising for high-performance optoelectronics.
