Ion-sensitive field effect transistors using carbon nanotubes as the transducing layer

Abstract

We report a new type of ion-sensitive field effect transistor (ISFET). This type of ISFET incorporates a new architecture, containing a network of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) as the transduction layer, making an external reference electrode unnecessary. To show an example of its application, the SWCNT-based ISFET is able to detect at least 10−8 M of potassium in water using an ion-selective membrane containing valinomycin.
