Article Abstract
A rapid and facile method is reported for the detection of ascorbic acid using molybdenum disulfide quantum dots (MoS QDs) as a fluorescence sensor. Water-soluble and biocompatible MoS QDs with the maximum fluorescence emission at 506 nm have been successfully synthesized by hydrothermal method and specific detection for ascorbic acid (AA) was constructed to utilize the modulation of metal ion on the fluorescence of MoS QDs and the affinity and specificity between the ligand and the metal ion. The fluorescence of MoS QDs was quenched by the irreversible static quenching of Fe through the formation of a MoS QDs/Fe complex, while the pre-existence of AA can retain the fluorescence of MoS QDs through the redox reaction between AA and Fe. Based on this principle, a good linear relationship was obtained in the AA concentration range 1 to 150 μM with a detection limit of 50 nM. The proposed fluorescent sensing strategy was proven to be highly selective, quite simple, and rapid with a requirement of only 5 min at room temperature (RT), which is particularly useful for rapid and easy analysis. Satisfactory results were obtained when applied to AA determination in fruits, beverages, and serum samples as well as AA imaging in living cells, suggesting its great potential in constructing other fluorescence detection and imaging platforms.

To assess the efficacy of a mixed-dimensional van der Waals (vdW) heterostructure in modulating the optoelectronic responses of nanodevices, the charge transport properties of the transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMD)-based heterostructure comprising zero-dimensional (0D) WS quantum dots (QDs) and two-dimensional (2D) MoS flakes are critically analyzed. Herein, a facile strategy was materialized in developing an atomically thin phototransistor assembled from mechanically exfoliated MoS and WS QDs synthesized using a one-pot hydrothermal route. The amalgamated photodetectors exhibited a high responsivity of ∼8000 A/W at an incident power of 0.

Acute myocardial infarction (MI) remains a major global health threat, necessitating rapid and sensitive detection strategies. Herein, we report a signal-on quantum dot photoelectrochemical (QD-PEC) biosensor for ultrasensitive detection of cardiac troponin I (cTnI), based on a MoS/NbS nanoheterojunction constructed via atomic layer deposition (ALD). The petal-like MoS/NbS, uniformly grown with atomic precision, offers a high surface area and efficient charge transport, serving as an ideal scaffold for dense CdTe QD loading.

Quantum dots (QDs) based on transition metal dichalcogenides such as MoS offer an alternative strategy to yield excellent optoelectronic properties and promote their photodetection performances. By synthesizing MoS QDs through a controlled electrodeposition process, their superior photodetection properties are unlocked, surpassing those reported in existing literature. Through comprehensive characterization and analysis, the successful fabrication of MoS QDs made of a mixture of metallic 1T-MoS and semiconductor 1T/2H-MoS is demonstrated.

In this study, molybdenum disulfide quantum dots (MoS QDs) were synthesized via a one-step hydrothermal method, and a simple, rapid fluorescent sensing platform for dopamine (DA) detection was established based on fluorescence quenching. Experimental results demonstrated that DA is oxidized to dopamine quinone under alkaline conditions, leading to fluorescence quenching of MoS QDs through the synergistic effects of inner filter effect (IFE) and electron transfer (ET). The optimized method exhibited a linear response at 434 nm (200-600 µM, R = 0.

The nucleation mechanism of colloidal semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) in the aqueous phase remains unknown. Using CdS as a model system, we show that prenucleation clusters (PNCs) play a key role in the formation of QDs, which supports the multistep nonclassical nucleation model. For the reaction of CdCl, thioacetamide, and 3-mercaptopropionic (MPA), a prenucleation cluster forms at room temperature via the chemical self-assembly of the precursors.
