Abstract
Functionalization of the surface of biosensors with biomaterials such as proteins and DNA has been widely employed to establish a specific selectivity and high sensitivity to target molecules. As for sensing materials, a group of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDC), e.g., MoS2 and WS2, has attracted much attention due to their superior optoelectronic properties as well as its atomically flat surface. Single-layer MoS2 has shown strong photoluminescence (PL) under photoexcitation, and the PL is largely affected by surrounding environments, such as molecular adsorption and solvent [1,2]. Thus, MoS2 can be a good candidate for an optical biosensor under physiological condition due to its high sensitivity to the environments. To this end, it is necessary to investigate the optical response of MoS2 to various aqueous conditions of pH and ions. However, despite of intensive studies, the MoS2 PL under aqueous solution is poorly investigated.
