Integrated carbon nanotube fibre–quartz tuning fork biosensor
We report on a novel label-free biosensor for in situ measurements in liquid. It is comprised of a porous carbon nanotube (CNT) fibre attached to one prong of a quartz tuning fork (QTF) resonator. Only the protruding CNT fibre is immersed into a liquid, while the QTF is kept above the liquid to avoid short circuit of its electrodes. The low density and large surface area of the CNT fibre assure...
متن کاملTuning carbon nanotube band gaps with strain.
We show that the band structure of a carbon nanotube (NT) can be dramatically altered by mechanical strain. We employ an atomic force microscope tip to simultaneously vary the NT strain and to electrostatically gate the tube. We show that strain can open a band gap in a metallic NT and modify the band gap in a semiconducting NT. Theoretical work predicts that band gap changes can range between ...
متن کاملNano-yarn carbon nanotube fiber based enzymatic glucose biosensor.
A novel brush-like electrode based on carbon nanotube (CNT) nano-yarn fiber has been designed for electrochemical biosensor applications and its efficacy as an enzymatic glucose biosensor demonstrated. The CNT nano-yarn fiber was spun directly from a chemical-vapor-deposition (CVD) gas flow reaction using a mixture of ethanol and acetone as the carbon source and an iron nano-catalyst. The fiber...
متن کاملOne-Dimensional Modelling Of A Carbon Nanotube-Based Biosensor
This paper presents a one-dimensional-in-space mathematical model of an amperometric biosensor based on a carbon nanotube electrode deposited on a perforated membrane. The developed model is based on nonlinear reaction-diffusion equations. The conditions at which the one-dimensional mathematical model can be applied to an accurate simulation of the biosensor response are investigated. The accur...
متن کاملElectrochemical biosensor of nanocube-augmented carbon nanotube networks.
Networks of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) decorated with Au-coated Pd (Au/Pd) nanocubes are employed as electrochemical biosensors that exhibit excellent sensitivity (2.6 mA mM(-1) cm(-2)) and a low estimated detection limit (2.3 nM) at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3 (S/N = 3) in the amperometric sensing of hydrogen peroxide. Biofunctionalization of the Au/Pd nanocube-SWCNT biosensor is...
