Abstract

This paper reports a chemical sensor utilizing an extended-gate-type organic field-effect transistor (EG-OFET) for cocoyl sarcosine (CS) detection. The extended-gate electrode of the EG-OFET has been modified with a self-assembled monolayer of a dipicolylamine copper(II) complex (Cu2+-dpa) that can capture CS through a coordination bond. The transfer characteristics of the EG-OFET shifted with increasing CS concentration in the presence of interferents. Furthermore, the reproducibility and reusability of the EG-OFET sensor device were revealed with a cycle test. Owing to industrial applications of CS in heat exchangers, the EG-OFET will be used to maintain heat equipment in the near future.
