Abstract
Provided are devices and methods for detecting a target molecule, based on using a graphene electrode. The devices exhibit high sensitivity to target molecules such as DNA that may be present at comparatively low concentrations.
Claims1
A sensor device, comprising:
- a portion of graphene;
- a polyaromatic molecule attached to and in electrical communication with the portion of graphene,
- the polyaromatic molecule comprising a leaving group configured to be displaced by an amine group.
