Biosensors Based on Two-Dimensional MoS2

Abstract

The unique properties of two-dimensional molybdenum disulfide (2D MoS2) have so far led to immense research regarding this material's fundamentals, applications, and, more recently, its potential for biosensing. 2D MoS2 has properties that make it of great interest for developing biosensors. These properties include large surface area, tunable energy band diagrams, a comparatively high electron mobility, photoluminescence, liquid media stability, relatively low toxicity, and intercalatable morphologies. In this Review, the current progress on 2D MoS2 based biosensors is presented and the prospects for future possibilities of expanding its applications for a variety of biosensing applications are discussed.
