Theoretical and Experimental Studies of Molecular Interactions between Engineered Graphene and Phosphate Ions for Graphene-Based Phosphate Sensing.

ABSTRACT: Fundamental understanding of the interactions of nanoscale materials with molecules of interest is essential for the development of electronic devices, such as sensors. In particular, structures and molecular interaction properties of engineered graphenes are still largely unexplored, despite these materials' great potential to be used as molecular sensors. As an example of end user application, the detection of phosphorus in the form of phosphate in a soil environment is important for soil fertility and plant growth. However, due to the lack of an affordable technology, it is currently hard to measure the amount of phosphate directly in the soil; therefore, suitable sensor technologies need to be developed for phosphate sensors. In this work, pristine graphene and several modified graphen
