    Abstract:
    A novel graphene electrochemical transistor (GECT) sensor based on Au-poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)/reduced graphene oxide (Au-PEDOT/rGO) nanocomposites functionalized the gate electrode and monolayer graphene as channel was proposed and constructed for the ultra-sensitive detection of acetaminophen (AP). Au-PEDOT/rGO nanocomposites were synthesized by a simple one-pot method to modify the gate electrode of GECT. With the high catalytic activity of Au nanoparticles, the good conductivity and stability of PEDOT, the large specific surface area and abundant adhesion sites of rGO, the sensitivity and stability of the device for AP detection could be effectively improved. The sensing mechanism of the device was that the electrochemical reactions of the AP on the surface of gate electrode causes the effective gate voltage on the GECT to change, thereby adjusting the carrier concentration and current of the graphene channel. Combined with the excellent catalytic properties of Au-PEDOT/rGO nanocomposites and the high carrier mobility of the graphene channel, the resulting device has remarkable sensing performance for AP, with a detection limit as low as 1 nM and a linear range from 1 nM to 8 mM. In addition, the device has good anti-interference ability and accuracy in the detection of AP in urine samples and tablets, which proved that it could be used to determine AP in human non-invasive and pharmaceutical products. The GECT sensor based on Au-PEDOT/rGO provides an efficient, sensitive and cost-effective sensing platform for AP detection, and is expected to realize in vitro diagnosis of diseases.
