Recently, the field-effect transistors (FETs) with graphene as the conducting channels have been used as a promising chemical and biological sensors. However, the lack of low cost and reliable and large-scale preparation of graphene films limits their applications. In this contribution, we report the fabrication of centimeter-long, ultrathin (1-3 nm), and electrically continuous micropatterns of highly uniform parallel arrays of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) films on various substrates including the flexible polyethylene terephthalate (PET) films by using the micromolding in capillary method. Compared to other methods for the fabrication of graphene patterns, our method is fast, facile, and substrate independent. In addition, we demonstrate that the nanoelectronic FETs based on our rGO patterns are able to label-freely detect the hormonal catecholamine molecules and their dynamic secretion from living cells.
最近,以石墨烯作为导电通道的场效应晶体管 (FET) 已被用作有前途的化学和生物传感器。然而,缺乏低成本、可靠和大规模制备石墨烯薄膜限制了它们的应用。在本研究中,我们通过使用毛细管微模塑法在各种基底上(包括柔性聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯 (PET) 基底)制造了厘米长、超薄 (1-3nm) 且电连续的、高度均匀的、平行排列的还原氧化石墨烯 (rGO) 薄膜微图案。与其他用于制造石墨烯图案的方法相比,我们的方法快速、简便且与基底无关。此外,我们证明了基于我们的 rGO 图案的纳米电子 FET 可以无标记地检测到激素儿茶酚胺分子及其从活细胞中的动态分泌。
