Description
Field effect transistor comprising MXENE nanosheet and its use
[0001] The present invention relates to a field effect transistor (FET) sensor capable of detecting contaminated mycotoxins in food samples.
[0002] Field-effect transistors (FETs) are a key subfield of nano / microelectronics. FET sensors are electrochemical sensors whose electronic conductivity is governed by semiconductor materials, offering impressive advantages such as simple operation, miniaturization, and ultra-fast response times. In the FET sensor process, external analytes readily induce changes in the conductivity of the sensing channel material and modulate the dielectric material, which drives the electric field around the semiconductor. Because sensing channels are relatively rare in microsensor devices, mechanically robust materials have attracted considerable attention. Research is currently underway on sensors with unique mechanical properties for use in smart device technologies such as chips. One- and two-dimensional (1D and 2D) nanomaterials, such as silicon nanowires, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and transition metal sulfides, have proven to be promising channel materials for fabricating highly sensitive, real-time FET biosensors. Due to the unique properties of nanomaterial-based FET biosensors—high surface area, layered structure, and excellent electronic properties—efforts are continuing to utilize FETs for on-site and point-of-care diagnostic testing in diverse fields, including environmental, clinical, medical, and food analysis.
[0003] Aflatoxins (AF) are naturally occurring toxic secondary metabolites with low molecular weights (100–300 Da) and are mycotoxins synthesized by various molds, including molds belonging to the genus Aspergillus. Aflatoxins are frequently detected in food and feed and are one of the target detection substances for food and feed safety. Of the 18 aflatoxins discovered, aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), aflatoxin G1 (AFG1), aflatoxin B2 (AFB2), aflatoxin G2 (AFG2), and aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) have been proven to be human carcinogens and have been classified as Group I by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). Therefore, the development of a sensor capable of monitoring aflatoxins and detecting and quantifying the presence of aflatoxins in food is required.
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a food safety analysis means capable of analyzing contaminants in food using a field effect transistor (FET) sensor that can selectively and accurately detect target substances in real time using electrical signals and quantitatively analyze target substances.

[0007] In addition, the present invention provides a method for manufacturing a device for the field effect transistor for target material analysis.
[0008] In addition, the present invention provides a method for analyzing the safety of a food sample using the device for the field effect transistor.
[0009] According to the present invention, by fixing an antibody that specifically binds to a target substance to a field effect transistor (FET) including an MXene nanosheet coated with L-cysteine, the target substance can be accurately detected by measuring the electrical signal of the field effect transistor, and the concentration of the target substance in a food sample can be quantitatively analyzed, so that the field effect transistor sensor can be provided as a food safety analysis means capable of analyzing contaminants in food.

The collected peanut butter sample was added to 50 mL of 80% methanol, homogenized at 10,000 rpm for 2 minutes, and shaken at room temperature for 1 hour. The sample was then filtered using Whatman filter paper, and the filtrate was used for FET analysis.

[0086] 7. Preparation of contaminated food samples (meju)
[0087] Aspergillus flavus KACC 45470, a toxic fungal strain (National Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Agricultural Microbiology Bank, Suwon, Gyeonggi-do), was cultured in potato dextrose broth (PDB) at 28°C in a shaking incubator (150 rpm) for 7 days. To make meju, soybeans were thoroughly washed, soaked in water for 8 h, and boiled at 110°C for 1.5 h. The boiled soybeans were mashed, mixed with an appropriate amount of the calculated A. flavus culture medium, and fermented by incubation at 30°C for more than 15 days. AFB1 was extracted from meju samples for FET analysis.
[0088]
[0089] 8. Extraction of AFB1 from food samples for HPLC analysis
[0090] The methanolic filtrates of the meju and peanut butter samples were diluted eightfold with 0.1% Tween 20 aqueous solution. The diluted filtrates were filtered again using a 1.6 μm glass fiber filter to obtain a clear solution. A 20 mL solution was then passed through an aflatoxin affinity column (VICAM, Milford, MA, USA) to adsorb aflatoxins. The affinity column was washed with distilled water (10 mL) to remove impurities. After 0.5 h, the adsorbed aflatoxins were separated and collected using 4 mL of methanol containing 0.1% acetic acid. All collected fractions were evaporated using N2 gas at 50°C. The dried samples were reconstituted in 600 μL of a 20% acetonitrile:trifluoroacetic acid (4:1 ratio) solution. Finally, the solution was filtered using a 0.2 μm syringe filter for comparative analysis using standard high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). AFB1 in food samples was quantified using an UltiMate 3000 HPLC system (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) at a column temperature of 30°C using a Cloversil-C18 column (4.6 mm × 250 mm, pore size 5 μm).

[0093] Ultra-thin MXene nanosheets were prepared by immersing MAX powder in HF (hydrofluoric acid), followed by insertion and probe sonication, as shown in Fig. 2(a). The MXene nanosheets were stored in an alcohol medium for long-term storage. Due to the low surface tension of ethanol, a Taylor cone was formed during the EHD printing process. As a result, the conductivity of the MXene nanosheets increased slightly (approximately 8900 S / cm) compared to other organic solvents. These characteristics are essential for practical applications of all printed electronic devices. Ultra-thin FET nanosheets were prepared by mixing the MXene ink for EHD printing with ethanol, as shown in Fig. 2(b). The overall fabrication process of the ultra-thin MXene-based FET according to the present invention is shown in Fig. 2. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images of the ultra-thin MXene-based FET are shown in Figs. 2(e) and (f). An image of the bulk MXene with stacked sheet layers is shown in Fig. 2(d).

[0095] Example 2. Optimization of MXene nanosheets
[0096] Before engineering practical field-effect transistors (FETs) based on ultrathin MXene, electrical characterization of the microelectrodes was performed to ensure that the printed cycles, called nanosheet layers, exhibit characteristics suitable for low-voltage and electrically stable operation of FETs. The back-gate EHD-printed MXene FET device is shown in Fig. 2(c). The drain and source electrodes were fabricated with high-purity gold photolithographically painted on a Si wafer with a gap of 3 μm. Thermally processed SiO2 was used as insulation between the electrodes and the back gate to prevent current leakage from the electrodes. The jet-printing nozzle was positioned on the source / drain electrodes and applied a gentle force to move toward the next electrode at a constant speed to achieve uniform printing, as shown in Fig. 2(b). 1 mg mL -1 5 mg mL -1 Different layers of MXene solutions with different concentrations were EHD printed onto gold microelectrodes coated on heavily doped p-type Si / SiO2 substrates. 1 mg mL -1 and 3 mg mL -1 When using low concentration inks such as 5 mg mL, no observable layer was detected under a microscope. Also, as shown in (a) to (d) of Fig. 3, 5 mg mL -1The XMene ink with a concentration of 100 to 400 formed distinct printable layers. The OM images of various EHD printed layers confirmed that the nanosheets were uniformly layered on the gap and electrode without a coffee-ring effect, as shown in Fig. 2(g). In addition, the cross-sectional analysis of the printed product of the designed electrode was performed using field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and highly aligned nanoflakes were confirmed, as shown in Fig. 2(h) and (i). The thickness of the 300-layer printed layer was confirmed to be approximately 976 nm.
[0097] To test the suitability of MXene layers for FETs, selected layers (100, 200, 300, and 400 layers, as shown in (a) to (d) of Fig. 3) were printed. Current-voltage (I-V) plots, such as output and transfer curves, for various layers of EHD-printed MXene-based FET devices are shown in (e) and (f) of Fig. 3. All devices with various printed layers exhibited perfectly linear I-V characteristics, and Ti3C2T x Excellent Ohmic contact between MXene nanosheets and gold microelectrodes was observed. Ti3C2T x The resistance of MXene FET is 10 3 -10 9 Ω was calculated. The 100-layer and 200-layer EHD printed layer devices exhibited very high resistance. As shown in Fig. 3(e) and (f), increasing the printed layer to 300 layers improved the film thickness, which resulted in an ideal resistance range and higher I on / I offThe current flow through the channel was promoted by the ratio. As shown in Fig. 3(f), p-type transfer characteristics were observed in all cycles of the printed layer, and the external gate field showed a significant conductivity change in the EHD printed FET device. The results confirmed that the case printed with 300 layers during the EHD printing process has high compatibility to produce excellent FETs with high electrical conductivity. The transfer characteristics of the EHD printed FET were V gs When sweeping from -40 V to +40 V, I ds showed a linear decrease in Ti3C2T. The above results x It shows the p-type semiconductor properties of MXene, which indicates that most of the charge carriers are holes.

[0099] Example 3. Fabrication of a FET sensor for detecting mold toxins
[0100] Referring to the results of Example 2 above, an EHD-printed FET (field effect transistor) sensor for mycotoxin detection was fabricated to include 300-layer patterned MXene nanosheets exhibiting high conductivity and ideal resistance. L-cysteine was used as a linker, and L-cysteine was used as a surface functional group (T) of the MXene nanosheets. x ) was combined with. The anti-AFB1 antibody targeting AFB1 (aflatoxin B1), the most widely used mycotoxin, was used as a receptor that recognizes mycotoxins.
[0101] To confirm the presence and modification of anti-AFB1 antibodies on the surface of MXene nanosheets, Ti3C2T x FET sensor, Ti3C2T with L-cysteine attached x / L-cysteine FET sensor, Ti3C2T with anti-AFB1 antibody attached x Electrical measurements of the / L-cysteine / anti-AFB1 antibody FET sensor were performed. The drain-source voltages (V) on the field effect transistor (FET) ds ) as the drain-source current (I ) changes over a voltage range of -5.0 V to +5.0 V. ds )(μA) change in I ds - V ds The output curve was written as follows. For each sensor, the gate-source voltages (V gs ) by changing from -40 V to 40 V. ds - V ds The output curves were drawn. As shown in (g), (i), and (k) of Fig. 3, Ti3C2T x When L-cysteine is bound to the surface of the MXene nanosheet, or when L-cysteine and anti-AFB1 antibody are bound, dI ds / dV ds The slope was found to decrease. In addition, Ti3C2T x FET sensor and Ti3C2T x / L-cysteine FET sensor has a drain-source voltage (V) from -5.0 V to +5.0 V ds ) range of gate-source voltage (V gs ) even if I change it ds - V ds The plots formed curves that overlapped exactly. On the other hand, Ti3C2T x / L-cysteine / anti-AFB antibody sensor has a drain-source voltage (V) from -5.0 V to +5.0 V ds ) range of gate-source voltage (V gs ) increases I ds - V ds The slope of the plot was reduced, showing a clear separation of the curves. That is, Ti3C2T with anti-AFB1 antibody conjugated x When the gate voltage in the / L-cysteine / anti-AFB antibody sensor was changed from negative to positive, the drain current showed a tendency to decrease, and it was confirmed that the field-effect response according to the gate change was clearly observed. The above results are for Ti3C2T x / L-cysteine / anti-AFB antibody The anti-AFB1 antibody was successfully immobilized on the sensor, demonstrating its operation as a field effect transistor.
[0102] To evaluate the effects of surface functionalization and immobilization of the above sensors, transfer characteristics were measured. Each sensor was subjected to drain-source voltages (V ds ) is used as 0.2 V, 0.4 V, 0.6 V, 0.8 V or 1 V, and the gate voltage (V) is in the range of -40 V to +40 V. g ) is the drain current (I ) that saturates at the value ds )(μA) was measured. As shown in (h), (j) and (l) of Fig. 3, Ti3C2T x Sensor, Ti3C2T x / L-cysteine sensor and Ti3C2T x / V in L-cysteine / anti-AFB antibody sensor respectively ds Every V g The drain current values were measured according to the change in Ti3C2T x / L-cysteine / anti-AFB antibody sensor is Ti3C2T x / Same V than L-cysteine sensor ds In I ds showed a decreasing trend. These I ds The decrease of negatively charged antibodies is due to the p-type Ti3C2T x It is explained by recombination in MXene. Like a p-type semiconductor, Ti3C2T x The output curve of the / L-cysteine / anti-AFB antibody sensor is I ds increases negatively, and V g It shows a tendency to increase in a negative direction, and this tendency proves not only the functionalization but also the fixation of the field effect transistor.
[0103] Additionally, the surface functionalization of the field effect transistor (FET) of each sensor was analyzed using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), which are based on changes in the interface characteristics of the electrodes.
[0104] Each FET sensor was fixed to a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) and Ti3C2T x / GCE, L-cysteine / Ti3C2T x / GCE and anti-AFB1 antibody / L-cysteine / Ti3C2T x / Produced with GCE and 10.0 mM K3[Fe(CN)6] 3- / 4-Cyclic voltammetry (CV) was measured in PBS (pH 7.4) containing 0.1 μg mL -1 In the presence of AFB1 (aflatoxin B1) (Ti3C2T x The CV value of / L-cysteine / anti-AFB1 antibody / analyte was also measured. As shown in Fig. 4(a), Ti3C2T x / Ti3C2T compared to GCE x / L-cysteine / GCE showed a tendency for the redox couple currents of 0.59 V and 0.33 V to decrease significantly. This was due to the electrode and K3[Fe(CN)6] 3- / 4- This may be due to the high electron mobility between the solutions. The reduced current is interpreted as a result of the L-cysteine layer blocking the transfer of inert electrons, hindering the diffusion of redox couples to the electrode surface. Ti3C2T x / Ti3C2T compared to L-cysteine x In the case of / L-cysteine / anti-AFB1 antibody, the redox couple current was also significantly reduced, and when AFB1 was added (Ti3C2T x / L-cysteine / anti-AFB1 antibody / analyte) also showed a significant decreasing trend. This is interpreted as the electronic communication between the electrode and the redox probe was blocked as the antibody-AFB1 complex layer was formed. In addition, as shown in (b) of Fig. 4, the results of EIS (electrochemical impedance spectroscopy) analysis showed that Ti3C2T x The sensor is measured at 259 Ω, Ti3C2T x / L-cysteine sensor was measured at 4417 Ω, while Ti3C2T xThe / L-cysteine / anti-AFB1 antibody sensor showed a significant increase in electron transfer resistance to 5985 Ω. Ti3C2T x When AFB1 was added to the / L-cysteine / anti-AFB1 antibody sensor, the resistance increased to 7828 Ω, which is interpreted as the formation of electrical insulation by the antibody-AFB1 complex.
[0105] From the above results, it was confirmed that AFB1 was effectively detected when the AFB1 antibody was immobilized on the MXene nanosheet functionalized with L-cysteine, and it was proven that the field effect transistor (FET) sensor according to the present invention can be used for the purpose of effectively detecting a target substance when an antibody that specifically binds to the target substance is immobilized.
[0106]
[0107] Example 4. Analysis of the effectiveness of mycotoxin detection using a FET sensor.
[0108] Using the fabricated FET sensor, the detection effect of AFB1 (aflatoxin B1) in an aqueous solution was analyzed, as shown in Fig. 5 (a). Distilled water was used as the medium, and the gate-source grounded terminals and drain-source current (I ds ) with a drain-source potential of 0.1 V (V ds ) was used to analyze the sensor signal. As shown in Fig. 5 (b), since the ultra-thin MXene nanosheet is a p-type semiconductor, the drain current of the sensing compartment was found to decrease instantaneously whenever a specific concentration of AFB1 was added.
[0109] The change in real-time drain-source current according to the concentration change of AFB1 was analyzed as a relative current response (%). The normalized current response is a sensor sensitivity index that determines the change in the device operation due to various factors of the channel material, such as thickness, distribution density, and composition. Initial I ds When I0 was set and AFB1 was added, the change in current was expressed as I - I0, and the relative response (%) was calculated as [(I - I0) / I0] X 100. As shown in Fig. 5 (c), the conductance of the FET sensor was clearly changed as the concentration range of AFB1 increased from 0 ppb to 80 ppb. In addition, when the concentration range of AFB1 was 0.7 ppb to 20 ppb, a high linear modulation (R 2 = 0.9202) was shown, confirming that quantitative analysis was possible, and the LOD (limit of detection) was analyzed to be 5.69 ppb, which is much lower than the maximum allowable limit for food of 10 ppb to 20 ppb.
[0110] To compare the functionality of the FET sensor, AFB1 at the same concentration was analyzed by HPLC. As shown in Figure 6, no peak was detected below 0.35 ppb in the HPLC analysis, and AFB1 peaks were observed at concentrations between 0.7 ppb and 100 ppb. The maximum recovery of AFB1 in the sample was 98.4 ± 0.2%. These results demonstrate that the EHD printed FET sensor according to the present invention is suitable for quantitative detection of small molecules at lower concentrations than HPLC analysis.
[0111]
[0112] Example 5. Evaluation of selectivity and stability of FET sensors
[0113] In the above Example 4, it was demonstrated that the FET sensor manufactured according to the present invention detected AFB1 with high sensitivity because it included an antibody against AFB1. In order to evaluate the selectivity and stability of the FET sensor, tests were conducted with mycotoxins other than aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), such as aflatoxin B2 (AFB2), aflatoxin G1 (AFG1), aflatoxin G2 (AFG2), zearalenone (ZEA), and ochratoxin A (OTA). The test was conducted under the same conditions as in the above Example 4, and the concentration of the mycotoxin used was 1 ppb. As shown in (d) and (e) of Fig. 5, when zearalenone (ZEA), ochratoxin A (OTA), aflatoxin G2 (AFG2), aflatoxin G1 (AFG1), and aflatoxin B2 (AFB2) were added, the sensor signal was weakly detected, whereas aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) at the same concentration showed a high conductance change. The sensor conductance for each mycotoxin was 5.2% for zearalenone (ZEA), 5.9% for ochratoxin A (OTA), 9.4% for aflatoxin G2 (AFG2), 37.2% for aflatoxin G1 (AFG1), and 43.7% for aflatoxin B2 (AFB2), indicating relatively low detection performance. AFB1 showed a high conductance difference, which demonstrates that electrons moved to the sensing channel and the number of holes present within the sensing channel decreased. The excellent selectivity of the FET sensor according to the present invention was proven as it was confirmed that the above FET sensor exhibited significantly higher sensitivity to AFB1 compared to other mycotoxins.
[0114] The stability of the EHD printed FET sensor was monitored for detection performance against AFB1 in the same manner as described above after the sensor was stored at room temperature for 21 days. As shown in Fig. 7, the FET sensor was confirmed to exhibit a detection capability of over 93% even after 21 days of storage.
[0115] From the above results, it was confirmed that the EHD printed FET sensor according to the present invention not only selectively detects AFB1, but also maintains the detection ability of the sensor without decreasing during long-term storage, and it was proven that the field effect transistor (FET) sensor according to the present invention not only selectively detects a target substance depending on the immobilized antibody, but also has stability that maintains its performance during long-term storage.
[0116]
[0117] Example 6. DFT simulation
[0118] To verify the results of Example 5 above, density functional theory (DFT) simulations were performed to determine the binding of AFB1 (aflatoxin B1) and L-cysteine molecules to Ti3C2F2MXene, Ti3C2O2 or Ti3C2(OH)2 according to the MXene surface functional groups, in terms of adsorption energies (E ads ) was analyzed. As the negative value of the adsorption energy increases, the interaction structure tends to be more stable, as shown in Fig. 8. As shown in Fig. 8, E of AFB1 for Ti3C2F2MXene and Ti3C2O2MXene adswere measured as 2.361 eV and -2.350 eV, respectively. The adsorption energy of Ti3C2(OH)2MXene and AFB1 was -8.529 eV, which was much lower than the adsorption energies of -F-, -O-, and -OH- functional groups and L-cysteine. In other words, it was demonstrated that the L-cysteine layer acts as an electron transfer barrier for AFB1 on the MXene surface.
[0119]
[0120] Example 7. Detection of mycotoxins using a FET sensor (artificially contaminated peanut butter)
[0121] The ability of the EHD printed FET sensor according to the present invention to detect mycotoxins in food samples artificially contaminated with mycotoxins was evaluated. As shown in Fig. 9 (a), peanut butter with arbitrarily added AFB1 was used as an artificially contaminated sample. 100 ppb of AFB1 was added to the peanut butter and briefly homogenized in 80% methanol. The presence of the added AFB1 was examined by HPLC, as shown in Fig. 9 (c). As shown in Fig. 9 (b), the EHD printed FET sensor responded appropriately to AFB1 at various diluted concentrations ranging from 1 ppb to 10 ppb, and the response plot exhibited a linear pattern. These results demonstrate the potential of the EHD printed FET sensor for mycotoxin detection.
[0122]
[0123] Example 8. Detection of mycotoxins using a FET sensor (artificially contaminated meju)
[0124] The ability of the EHD printed FET sensor according to the present invention to detect mycotoxins in food samples contaminated with mold was evaluated. As shown in Fig. 10(a), meju contaminated with Aspergillus flavus was used as a sample. The meju sample (traditional Korean fermented soybean paste starter) was homogenized with methanol and then filtered to prepare an analytical sample. The presence of AFB1 was examined by HPLC, and the AFB1 produced by Aspergillus flavus contaminated in the meju was measured to be 20 ppb. As shown in Fig. 10(b), the EHD printed FET sensor clearly distinguished between the meju sample and the normal sample. The EHD printed FET sensor detected a 1 × 10 4 It responded well to the meju sample cultured by contaminating it with A. flavus spores, and the normalized response curve of the EHD printed FET sensor was linear.
[0125] From the above results, it was proven that the EHD printed FET sensor according to the present invention accurately detects AFB1 when applied to a food sample, and it was proven that the field effect transistor (FET) sensor according to the present invention can be utilized to detect mycotoxins contaminated in food.
