Investigation of multi-layered graphene/silicon Schottky junction in oxidizing atmosphere

In this study, we investigate a Schottky junction based on solution-processed multilayered graphene (MLG). We present a rectifying device obtained with a straightforward approach, that is drop-casting a few microliters of MLG solution simultaneously onto Si, Si-SiO2 and Si-SiO2-Cr/Au surface. Monitoring the modulation of Schottky barrier...

Functionalisation of Multi-Layer Graphene-Based Gas Sensor by Au Nanoparticles

A novel gas sensor based on multi-layered graphene (MLG) functionalised with gold nanoparticles (Au-NPs) is presented. We demonstrate for the first time that: (1) the signal saturates during the analyte exposure, something which does not occur in the pristine material and in graphene-based gas sensors in general; (2) the sign of the device...

Analysis of a calibration method for non-stationary CVD multi-layered graphene-based gas sensors

Limitations such as lack of detected stationary signal and slow signal recovery after detection currently affect graphene-based chemi-sensors operating at room temperature. In this work, we model the behavior of a sensor in a test chamber having limited volume and simulating the environmental conditions. From this model, we mathematically derive...

Low Temperature CVD Grown Graphene for Highly Selective Gas Sensors Working under Ambient Conditions

In this paper we report on gas sensors based on graphene grown by Chemical Vapor Deposition at 850 °C. Mo was used as catalyst for graphene nucleation. Resistors were directly designed on pre-patterned Mo using the transfer-free process we recently developed, thus avoiding films damage during the transfer to the target substrate. Devices...
