Fluorous Gated Field-Effect Transistor Sensors for PFAS Detection
Fluorous-interface gated field-effect transistor (FET) sensors provide a portable platform for real-time detection of PFAS and related fluorinated compounds in water. An extended-gate interface converts fluorous interactions into electrical signals, with an optional F-PANI configuration that adds an optical response for cross-verification. The platform...
