Two-Dimensional Disposable Graphene Sensor to Detect Na⁺ Ions.

ABSTRACT: The monitoring of Na⁺ ions distributed in the body has been indirectly calculated by the detection of Na⁺ ions in urine. We fabricated a two-dimensional (2D) Na⁺ ion sensor using a graphene ion-sensitive field-effect transistor (G-ISFET) and used fluorinated graphene as a reference electrode (FG-RE). We integrated G-ISFET and FG on a printed circuit board (PCB) designed in the form of a secure digital (SD) card to fabricate a disposable Na⁺ ion sensor. The sensitivity of the PCB tip to Na⁺ ions was determined to be -55.4 mV/dec. The sensor exhibited good linearity despite the presence of interfering ions in the buffer solution. We expanded the evaluation of the PCB tip to real human patient urine samples. The PCB tip exhibited a sensitivity of -0.36 mV/mM and linearly detected Na⁺ ions in human patient urine without any dilution process. We expect that G-ISFET with FG-RE can be used to realize a disposable Na⁺ ion sensor by serving as an alternative to Ag/AgCl reference electrodes.

Directly writing flexible temperature sensor with graphene nanoribbons for disposable healthcare devices.

Project description:Disposable temperature sensors have great advantages in public health security and infectious disease control. However, complicated fabrication processes and poor performances persistently restrict their practical applications. In this paper, a flexible temperature sensor is firstly developed by directly writing or mask spraying commonly-used paper with a highly thermo-sensitive graphene nanoribbon (GNR) ink. The inexpensive, green materials and process endow the GNR sensors with the properties of being low cost, degradable and pollution free. The band gap and the local traps of GNRs, caused by the nanoscale effect and oxygen doping, make the sensor highly thermo-sensitive. The sensor also shows fast response, precise resolution and good bendable properties. As demonstrated, the sensor achieves monitoring of respiratory rate, measurement of body temperature, identification of human touch and constituting a 5 × 5 array for temperature mapping. These results demonstrate that the GNRs sensor is highly promising as an economical disposable device for personal healthcare and disease monitoring.

Determination of Heavy Metal Ions in Infant Milk Powder Using a Nanoporous Carbon Modified Disposable Sensor.

Project description:Due to the risk of heavy metal pollution in infant milk powder, it is significant to establish effective detection methods. Here, a screen-printed electrode (SPE) was modified with nanoporous carbon (NPC) to detect Pb(II) and Cd(II) in infant milk powder using an electrochemical method. Using NPC as a functional nanolayer facilitated the electrochemical detection of Pb(II) and Cd(II) due to its efficient mass transport and large adsorption capacity. Linear responses were obtained for Pb (II) and Cd(II) in the range from 1 to 60 µg L-1 and 5 to 70 µg L-1, respectively. The limit of detection was 0.1 µg L-1 for Pb(II) and 1.67 µg L-1 for Cd(II). The reproducibility, stability, and anti-interference performance of the prepared sensor were tested as well. The heavy metal ion detection performance in the extracted infant milk powder shows that the developed SPE/NPC possesses the ability to detect Pb(II) and Cd(II) in milk powder.

Facile and scalable disposable sensor based on laser engraved graphene for electrochemical detection of glucose.

Project description:A novel and highly sensitive disposable glucose sensor strip was developed using direct laser engraved graphene (DLEG) decorated with pulse deposited copper nanocubes (CuNCs). The high reproducibility (96.8%), stability (97.4%) and low cost demonstrated by this 3-step fabrication method indicates that it could be used for high volume manufacturing of disposable glucose strips. The fabrication method also allows for a high degree of flexibility, allowing for control of the electrode size, design, and functionalization method. Additionally, the excellent selectivity and sensitivity (4,532.2 μA/mM.cm(2)), low detection limit (250 nM), and suitable linear range of 25 μM-4 mM, suggests that these sensors may be a great potential platform for glucose detection within the physiological range for tear, saliva, and/or sweat.

Prediction of two-dimensional CP<sub>3</sub> as a promising electrode material with a record-high capacity for Na ions.

Project description:Borophene with a maximum Li/Na capacity of 1984 mA h g-1 (nanoscale 2016, 8, 15 340-15 347) has shown the highest capacity among two-dimensional (2-D) anode materials identified so far. Herein, we report the record break for Na-ion using a newly proposed 2-D material, namely, CP3. We fully investigated Li- and Na-ion adsorption and diffusion processes on a CP3 monolayer. We found that the material can enable stable Li/Na adsorption considering charge accumulation on CP3 surfaces. The ion diffusion barriers for Li and Na were identified to be 98 meV and 356 meV, respectively. These values were comparable or smaller than those of the typical high-capacity electrode materials such as borophene. Most remarkably, the maximum Na capacity in CP3 monolayer can reach up to 2298.9 mA h g-1, which breaks the value recorded using borophene (1984 mA h g-1). Our work highly promises that the 2-D CP3 material could serve as an outstanding electrode material for Na-ion batteries with an extremely high storage capacity.

Two-Dimensional Hallmark of Highly Interconnected Three-Dimensional Nanoporous Graphene.

Project description:Scaling graphene from a two-dimensional (2D) ideal structure to a three-dimensional (3D) millimeter-sized architecture without compromising its remarkable electrical, optical, and thermal properties is currently a great challenge to overcome the limitations of integrating single graphene flakes into 3D devices. Herewith, highly connected and continuous nanoporous graphene (NPG) samples, with electronic and vibrational properties very similar to those of suspended graphene layers, are presented. We pinpoint the hallmarks of 2D ideal graphene scaled in these 3D porous architectures by combining the state-of-the-art spectromicroscopy and imaging techniques. The connected and bicontinuous topology, without frayed borders and edges and with low density of crystalline defects, has been unveiled via helium ion, Raman, and transmission electron microscopies down to the atomic scale. Most importantly, nanoscanning photoemission unravels a 3D NPG structure with preserved 2D electronic density of states (Dirac cone like) throughout the porous sample. Furthermore, the high spatial resolution brings to light the interrelationship between the topology and the morphology in the wrinkled and highly bent regions, where distorted sp2 C bonds, associated with sp3-like hybridization state, induce small energy gaps. This highly connected graphene structure with a 3D skeleton overcomes the limitations of small-sized individual graphene sheets and opens a new route for a plethora of applications of the 2D graphene properties in 3D devices.

Detection of chikungunya virus DNA using two-dimensional MoS2 nanosheets based disposable biosensor.

Project description:Development of platforms for a reliable, rapid, sensitive and selective detection of chikungunya virus (CHIGV) is the need of the hour in developing countries. To the best of our knowledge, there are no reports available for the electrochemical detection of CHIGVDNA. Therefore, we aim at developing a biosensor based on molybdenum disulphide nanosheets (MoS2 NSs) for the point-of-care diagnosis of CHIGV. Briefly, MoS2 NSs were synthesized by chemical route and characterized using scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, UV-Vis spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and X-Ray Diffraction. MoS2 NSs were then subjected to physical adsorption onto the screen printed gold electrodes (SPGEs) and then employed for the detection of CHIGV DNA using electrochemical voltammetric techniques. Herein, the role of MoS2 NSs is to provide biocompatibility to the biological recognition element on the surface of the screen printed electrodes. The detection strategy employed herein is the ability of methylene blue to interact differentially with the guanine bases of the single and double-stranded DNA which leads to change in the magnitude of the voltammetric signal. The proposed genosensor exhibited a wide linear range of 0.1 nM to 100 µM towards the chikungunya virus DNA.

Two-Channel Graphene pH Sensor Using Semi-Ionic Fluorinated Graphene Reference Electrode.

Project description:A reference electrode is necessary for the working of ion-sensitive field-effect transistor (ISFET)-type sensors in electrolyte solutions. The Ag/AgCl electrode is normally used as a reference electrode. However, the Ag/AgCl reference electrode limits the advantages of the ISFET sensor. In this work, we fabricated a two-channel graphene solution gate field-effect transistor (G-SGFET) to detect pH without an Ag/AgCl reference electrode in the electrolyte solution. One channel is the sensing channel for detecting the pH and the other channel is the reference channel that serves as the reference electrode. The sensing channel was oxygenated, and the reference channel was fluorinated partially. Both the channels were directly exposed to the electrolyte solution without sensing membranes or passivation layers. The transfer characteristics of the two-channel G-SGFET showed ambipolar field-effect transistor (FET) behavior (p-channel and n-channel), which is a typical characteristic curve for the graphene ISFET, and the value of VDirac was shifted by 18.2 mV/pH in the positive direction over the range of pH values from 4 to 10. The leakage current of the reference channel was 16.48 nA. We detected the real-time pH value for the two-channel G-SGFET, which operated stably for 60 min in the buffer solution.

Two-dimensional shape memory graphene oxide.

Project description:Driven by the increasing demand for micro-/nano-technologies, stimuli-responsive shape memory materials at nanoscale have recently attracted great research interests. However, by reducing the size of conventional shape memory materials down to approximately nanometre range, the shape memory effect diminishes. Here, using density functional theory calculations, we report the discovery of a shape memory effect in a two-dimensional atomically thin graphene oxide crystal with ordered epoxy groups, namely C8O. A maximum recoverable strain of 14.5% is achieved as a result of reversible phase transition between two intrinsically stable phases. Our calculations conclude co-existence of the two stable phases in a coherent crystal lattice, giving rise to the possibility of constructing multiple temporary shapes in a single material, thus, enabling highly desirable programmability. With an atomic thickness, excellent shape memory mechanical properties and electric field stimulus, the discovery of a two-dimensional shape memory graphene oxide opens a path for the development of exceptional micro-/nano-electromechanical devices.

Two-Dimensional Nanomaterials beyond Graphene for Biomedical Applications.

Project description:Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials (e.g., graphene) have shown to have a high potential in future biomedical applications due to their unique physicochemical properties such as unusual electrical conductivity, high biocompatibility, large surface area, and extraordinary thermal and mechanical properties. Although the potential of graphene as the most common 2D nanomaterials in biomedical applications has been extensively investigated, the practical use of other nanoengineered 2D materials beyond graphene such as transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), topological insulators (TIs), phosphorene, antimonene, bismuthene, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and MXenes for biomedical applications have not been appreciated so far. This review highlights not only the unique opportunities of 2D nanomaterials beyond graphene in various biomedical research areas such as bioelectronics, imaging, drug delivery, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine but also addresses the risk factors and challenges ahead from the medical perspective and clinical translation of nanoengineered 2D materials. In conclusion, the perspectives and future roadmap of nanoengineered 2D materials beyond graphene are outlined for biomedical applications.

Embedding two-dimensional graphene array in ceramic matrix.

Project description:Dispersing two-dimensional (2D) graphene sheets in 3D material matrix becomes a promising route to access the exceptional mechanical and electrical properties of individual graphene sheets in bulk quantities for macroscopic applications. However, this is highly restricted by the uncontrolled distribution and orientation of the graphene sheets in 3D structures as well as the weak graphene-matrix bonding and poor load transfer. Here, we propose a previously unreported avenue to embed ordered 2D graphene array into ceramics matrix, where the catastrophic fracture failure mode of brittle ceramics was transformed into stable crack propagation behavior with 250 to 500% improvement in the mechanical toughness. An unprecedentedly low dry sliding friction coefficient of 0.06 in bulk ceramics was obtained mainly due to the inhibition of the microcrack propagation by the ordered 2D graphene array. These unique and low-cost 2D graphene array/ceramic composites may find applications in severe environments with superior structural and functional properties.
