| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have successfully functionalized metal nanoparticles and activated carbon molecular sieve on the surface of graphene nanoribbon FET with a size of 200 x 200 nm. 50 ppb concentration of Ethanol gas molecules was detected under 150°C using activated carbon molecular sieve functionalized graphene FET. In addition, Aluminum nanoparticles functionalized graphene showed exceptional sensitivity and selectivity towards ammonia gas molecules at real-time atmosphere. Furthermore, We have performed surface acoustic wave technique to detect even lower concentrations of acetone gas molecules. Graphene based surface acoustic wave gas sensor exhibited an enhanced gas response towards acetone gas molecules (800 ppt) under a real atmosphere.
