Competitive adsorption–desorption behavior of popular fluorescent labeling and bioanalyte molecules, Rhodamine 6G (R6G) and dopamine (DA), on a chemically heterogeneous graphene oxide (GO) surface is discussed in this study. Individually, R6G and DA compounds were found to adsorb rapidly on the surface of graphene oxide as they followed the traditional Langmuir adsorption behavior. FTIR analysis suggested that both R6G and DA molecules predominantly adsorb on the hydrophilic oxidized regions of the GO surface. Thus, when R6G and DA compounds were adsorbed from mixed solution, competitive adsorption was observed around the oxygen-containing groups of GO sheets, which resulted in partial desorption of R6G molecules from the surface of GO into the solution. The desorbed R6G molecules can be monitored by fluorescence change in solution and was dependent on the DA concentration. We suggest that the efficient competitive adsorption of different strongly bound bioanalytes onto GO–dye complex can be used for the development of sensitive and selective colorimetric biosensors.
