Abstract:
We proposed a new method for regulating the electrochemical signal by using Schottky barrier. The results show that the height of Schottky barrier can be altered by adsorbing charged substance to control the enhancement and attenuation of electrochemical signal. The Schottky interface formed by MoS2 and CQDs (carbon quantum dots) can achieve the selective detection of dopamine and overcome the distraction of ascorbic acid and uric acid with similar redox signal. The combination of Schottky barrier and electrochemical detection enhance the sensitivity and selectivity of electrochemical sensor significantly. It is a new strategy for improving electrochemical detection by introducing Schottky barrier into electrochemical process.

Electrochemical Gradient and Channel Proteins: An Overview
The electrical gradient: The electrical gradient across cell membranes refers to the difference in electric charge between the inside and outside of a cell. This difference drives the movement of ions towards or away from the cells. For instance, if the inside of the cell is more negatively charged relative to...
