Highly selective reduced graphene oxide (rGO) sensor based on a peptide aptamer receptor for detecting explosives

Abstract An essential requirement for bio/chemical sensors and electronic nose systems is the ability to detect the intended target at room temperature with high selectivity. We report a reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-based gas sensor functionalized with a peptide receptor to detect dinitrotoluene (DN...
