Self-Assembled 1-Octadecanethiol Monolayers on Graphene for Mercury Detection

Zhang, Tao, Cheng, Zengguang, Wang, Yibing, Li, Zhongjun, Wang, Chenxuan, Li, Yibao, Fang, Ying·2010·Nano Letters

Abstract

We report studies on surface modification of graphene with 1-octadecanethiol and its application as heavy metal sensors. The alkanethiol molecules can self-assemble into large-scale highly ordered monolayers on single-layer graphene regardless of the roughness of graphene surfaces inherited from the underlying amorphorous silicon oxide (SiO2) dielectric substrates. Atomically resolved scanning tunneling microscopy imaging of modified graphene sheets on SiO2 was conducted to reveal configuration details of the self-assembled structure. Functionalization of graphene field effect transistors (Gra-FETs) with 1-octadecanethiol was realized and successfully explored for mercury(II) (Hg2+) detection at 10 ppm.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
