Chemically modified nanopore sensors offer enhanced sensitivity for single-molecule detection. This study details two novel coating methods for fabricating advanced nanopore sensors with improved stability and pH responsiveness.

Area of Science:

  • Nanotechnology
  • Materials Science
  • Analytical Chemistry

Background:

  • Nanopores are highly sensitive single-molecule sensors.
  • Electron beam lithography enables fabrication of synthetic nanopores with subnanometer precision.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and characterize a new class of chemically modified nanopore sensors.
  • To establish reproducible methods for coating nanopores with monolayers.

Main Methods:

  • Two monolayer coating approaches were developed: self-assembly from solution and self-assembly under voltage-driven electrolyte flow.
  • Nanopore characterization included assessment of stability, reactivity, and pH response.

Main Results:

  • Reproducible monolayer coating was achieved for nanopores of approximately 10 nm diameter using solution-based self-assembly.
