The oxygen-plasma-treated reduced graphene oxide films (RGOFs) are firstly used as the sensing membranes in extended-gate field-effect transistors (EGFETs) for the pH sensors. A large amount of oxygen-containing functional groups are effectively decorated on the RGOFs, resulting in increasing the sensing sites. Furthermore, the reverse pyramid (RP) structure is used as the substrate to increase surface roughness with fixed sensing window. The pH-EGFET current sensitivity of the plasma-treated RGOF on the RP structure can achieve as high as 1.09 uA 1/2 /pH with excellent linearity of 0.999, and a wide sensing range from pH 1 to 13.
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.
