Description
Summary:<p>Abstract</p> <p>We investigate doping of a single-layer graphene in the presence of electrolytic top gating. The interfacial phenomenon is modeled using a modified Poisson&#8211;Boltzmann equation for an aqueous solution of simple salt. We demonstrate both the sensitivity of graphene&#8217;s doping levels to the salt concentration and the importance of quantum capacitance that arises due to the smallness of the Debye screening length in the electrolyte.</p>
