- Abstract
Semiconducting single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are promising materials for biosensing applications with electrolyte‐gated transistors (EGT). However, to be employed in EGT devices, SWCNTs often require lengthy solution‐processing fabrication techniques. Here, we introduce a simple solution‐based method that allows fabricating EGT devices from stable dispersions of SWCNTs/bovine serum albumin (BSA) hybrids in water. The dispersion is then deposited on a substrate allowing the formation of a SWCNTs random network as the semiconducting channel. We demonstrate that this methodology allows the fabrication of EGT devices with electric performances that allow their use in biosensing applications. We demonstrate their application for the detection of cortisol in solution, upon gate electrode functionalization with anti‐cortisol antibodies. This is a robust and cost‐effective methodology that sets the ground for a SWCNT/BSA‐based biosensing platform that allows overcoming many limitations of standard SWCNTs biosensor fabrications.
