pH-induced on/off-switchable graphene bioelectronics

Switchable bioelectronics.

We review the rapidly emerging field of switchable interfaces and its implications for bioelectronics. We seek to piece together early breakthroughs and key developments, and highlight and discuss the future of switchable bioelectronics by focusing on bio-electrochemical processes based on mimicking and controlling biological environments with external stimuli. All these studies strive to answe...

On/Off-switchable zipper-like bioelectronics on a graphene interface.

An on/off-switchable graphene-based zipper-like interface is architectured for efficient bioelectrocatalysis. The graphene interface transduces a temperature input signal into structural changes of the membrane, resulting in the amplification of electrochemical signals and their transformation into the gated transport of molecules through the membrane.

Switchable supramolecular assemblies on graphene.

We studied the self-assembly of trimesic acid on single- and few-layer graphene supported by SiO2 substrates. A scanning tunneling microscope operated under ambient conditions was utilized to image supramolecular networks of trimesic acid at liquid-graphene interfaces. Trimesic acid can self-assemble into large-scale, highly ordered adlayers on graphene surfaces. Phase transition of the trimesi...

Electrically switchable metadevices via graphene

Metamaterials bring subwavelength resonating structures together to overcome the limitations of conventional materials. The realization of active metadevices has been an outstanding challenge that requires electrically reconfigurable components operating over a broad spectrum with a wide dynamic range. However, the existing capability of metamaterials is not sufficient to realize this goal. By ...
