Leaf-like carbon nanotube/nickel composite membrane extended-gate field-effect transistors as pH sensor

Abstract: A leaf-like carbon nanotube/nickel (CNT/Ni) composite nanostructure is used as the sensing membrane in an extended-gate field-effect transistor (EGFET) for the pH sensors is first developed using nanocomposite plating technique. While sensing pH within a range of 2-10, the leaf-like CNT/Ni EGFET exhibits a sensitivity of 59 mV/pH. This simple and low-cost sensing membrane can be applied in disposable biosensors.

“…Therefore, the majority of works using EGFET as part of a sensor describes it as a pH-sensor 3,[18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33] . PH monitoring and control, for itself, are quite important.…”

“…From this point of view, both the EGFET and voltammetric sensors exhibit the same electrochemical mechanism involving charged interfaces and binding sites of H + and OH -. These sites can be protonated or deprotonated, leading to a surface charge which is dependent on the pH of the electrolyte, and controls the surface potential 9,22 . In the voltammetry is possible to sweep a pontential to the regions which the electroactive species exist as oxidized (Ox) as well as, followed to reduced species (Red) and when the ratio [Ox]/[Red] approaches to zero it is called isoelectric point or zero (IEP).…”

“…Until now, CNTFs have been mixed with polymer or metal to improve the pH sensing characteristics of the pristine CNTFs. For instance, a carbon felt/carbon nanotube/polyaniline composite as the pH sensing membrane of EGFET [20] and a leaf-like carbon nanotube/nickel composite for the pH-EGFET applications [21] have been reported. Although these proposed composites demonstrated the good pH sensing characteristics, these works did not utilize the CNTFs onto the flexible substrates for the disposal sensor applications in addition to the possibly encountered complex processes and contamination issues.…”
