Abstract Based on the density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we showed that the interactions between different valence anions (PO43-, CH3PO42-, (CH3)2PO4-) and graphene significantly increased as the valence of anion increased from negative monovalence to negative trivalence. The adsorption energy of (CH3)2PO4- on the electron-rich graphene flake (C84H24) is -8.3 kcal/mol. The adsorption energy of CH3PO42- on the electron-rich graphene flake (C84H24) is -48.0 kcal/mol, which is about six times that of (CH3)2PO4- adsorption on electron-rich graphene flake (C84H24) and is even much larger than that of CO32- adsorption on electron-deficient aromatic ring C6F6 (-28.4 kcal/mol). The adsorption energy of PO43- on the electron-rich graphene flake (C84H24) is -159.2 kcal/mol, which is about 20 times that of (CH3)2PO4- adsorption on the graphene flake (C84H24). The super-strong adsorption energy is mainly attributed to the orbital interactions between multivalent anions and graphene. This work provides new insights for understanding the interaction between multivalent anions and π -electron-rich carbon-based nanomaterials and is helpful for the design of graphene-based DNA biosensor.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
