Morphology-Preferable MoSe2 Nanobrooms as a Sensing Platform for Highly Selective Apta-Capturing of Salmonella Bacteria

Abstract

The present report employed nanobroom (NB)-shaped two-dimensional molybdenum diselenide (MoSe2) for the preparation of a sensing matrix for the detection of Salmonella paratyphi. An aptamer specific to salmonella was immobilized onto MoSe2NB-modified fluorine-doped tin oxide via glutaraldehyde cross-linking. Structural and morphological characterizations were performed using UV-vis spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction techniques. Characterizations confirmed the nanobroom morphology and nanosize of the MoSe2 material. Electrochemical studies revealed a good linear detection range of 10-2-10-10 CFU/mL with low detection limit of 1 × 10-10 CFU/mL and with R2 = 0.98. The developed preferable nanobroom-shaped sensing matrix can provide a promising platform for rapid and accurate detection of Salmonella in real samples due to its tremendous stability and sensitivity.
