| description | This thesis presented the study of carbon-based materials for ultra-sensitive molecular sensing.
Reduced Graphene Oxide (rGO), a 2-dimensional one-atomic layer thick carbon material, had the advantage of low-cost, aqueous and industrial-scalable production route. Using rGO as the transducer platform could potentially lower the cost of sensors down to a few dollars per chip. However, there were still limitations in rGO that prevented its widespread usage as a biosensor transducer or in electronics: its low electrical conductivity and large electrical deviations. This thesis was structured to understand and solve these problems for transducer application. |
