Article Abstract
Accurate diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy (DN) is crucial for timely clinical intervention and increasingly relies on ultrasensitive detection of specific biomarkers. However, current detection methods are limited by low sensitivity and time-consuming procedures. Here, we present a Janus MoSSe-based plasmonic biosensor to significantly enhance charge sensitivity, enabling the ultrasensitive detection of DN biomarkers in urine. Through a heterogeneous engineering strategy, we synthesized Janus MoSSe monolayers with spontaneous out-of-plane polarization via chemical vapor deposition (CVD). This design amplifies charge sensitivity, leading to a significantly improved plasmonic biosensing performance, with an ultralow detection limit of 10 g/L for key DN biomarkers. Furthermore, our biosenor successfully detects these biomarkers in clinical urine samples, outperforming conventional methods such as ELISA and enabling accurate, stage-specific DN diagnosis. This work not only broadens the application of Janus transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers but also offers a promising platform for the advanced clinical diagnosis of DN.

The structural asymmetry of Janus transition metal dichalcogenides gives rise to physical properties distinct from those of their symmetric counterparts. When Janus transition metal dichalcogenides are vertically stacked, their resulting heterostructure exhibits novel and enhanced electronic properties due to interactions between interfacial atoms, changes in electric dipole moments, and van der Waals interlayer interactions. In this study, we employ first-principles calculations based on density functional theory using the Vienna Ab initio Simulation Package to investigate the electronic properties of MoSSe-WSSe vertical Janus transition metal dichalcogenides heterostructures.

Constructing heterojunctions can combine the superior performance of different two-dimensional (2D) materials and eliminate the drawbacks of a single material, and modulating heterojunctions can enhance the capability and extend the application field. Here, we investigate the physical properties of the heterojunctions formed by the contact of different atom planes of Janus MoSSe (JMoSSe) and graphene (Gr), and regulate the Schottky barrier of the Gr/JMoSSe heterojunction by the number of layers and the electric field. Due to the difference in atomic electronegativity and surface work function (WF), the Gr/JSMoSe heterojunction formed by the contact of S atoms with Gr exhibits an n-type Schottky barrier, whereas the Gr/JSeMoS heterojunction formed by the contact of the Se atoms with Gr reveals a p-type Schottky barrier.

2D Janus transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are promising candidates for various applications including non-linear optics, energy harvesting, and catalysis. These materials are usually synthesized via chemical conversion of pristine TMDs. Nanometer-scale characterization of the obtained Janus materials' morphology and local composition is crucial for both the synthesis optimization and the future device applications.
