Controlled chemical modification of graphene for applications in biosensing — •Marco R. Bobinger, Max Seifert, Anna Cattani-Scholz, and Jose A. Garrido — Walter Schottky Institut, Technische Universität München, Germany

Given its exceptional chemical and mechanical stability as well as its unique electronic properties, graphene is an extremely promising platform for biosensors. In order to use graphene in the biological environment and to improve sensing specificity and device performance, chemical functionalization schemes are needed to allow stable grafting of organic and bioorganic molecules onto graphene. In particular for applications in bioelectronics, the influence of the chemical functionalization of graphene on the generation of defects, strain, and doping has to be balanced with the desired modulation of the electronic properties of the produced graphene-organic hybrid material. In this work the effect of the controlled chemical modification of large area CVD-grown graphene via ozone treatment is investigated. This process creates sp3-like defects, related to covalently bound surface groups, e.g. OH-. Such ozone-treated surfaces are characterized by Raman- and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy in order to investigate the degree of surface modification and the chemical composition of the surface terminations. The generated anchor groups are further used as binding sites for the modification of graphene with organic molecules.
