Grafen Kaplı Kimyasal Sensörlerin Şişme Davranışları ve Matematiksel Modelleme

In this work, the swelling behaviors of the graphene-coated Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) thin films are investigated by using Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM) technique. These films were exposed to several Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) (acetone, ethanol and methanol) at room temperature to calculate diffusion coefficients of these organic vapors by using the early-time Fick’s law of diffusion. The diffusion coefficients are calculated to be 20.43 x 10−16, 1.30 x 10−16 and 0.91 x 10−16 cm2 s−1 for acetone, ethanol and methanol, respectively. Similar ranking was obtained for the response of graphene-coated QCM sensor as a frequency shift (Δf); acetone (342 Hz) > ethanol (76 Hz) > methanol (51 Hz).
