Charge density of molecules (Nm) in hybrid nanostructures that is formed at the interface of graphene and liquid in solution gated graphene field effect transistors (SGFETs) determines the selective response of chemical and biological sensors based on these SGFETs. For optimization of this response it is important to determine how it depends on characteristics of SGFETs such as quantum capacitance (Cq) and charge mobility (µ) which are functionally linked to Nm . The proposed model shows that when the gate voltage (Vgate) is near the minimum point of graphene conductivity (Dirac point) the sensor response is low and increases with gate voltage until Cq is approximately equal to the capacitance of the formed double layer (Cdl) in SGFETs. A decrease in sensor response is predicted upon further increase of Vgate in cases where there is a stronger dependence of µ on Nm than µ ∝ 1/Nm. A comparison of the predicted results of the model and literature data obtained in SGFET sensors for lysine in an aqueous solution are in agreement with the assumption that the optimal condition of Cq ≈ Cdl is reached approximately in the region of (0.5−1.4) V from the Dirac Point.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
