Abstract

Unconventional 1T′-phase transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have aroused tremendous research interest due to their unique phase-dependent physicochemical properties and applications. However, due to the metastable nature of 1T′-TMDs, the controlled synthesis of 1T′-TMD monolayers (MLs) with high phase purity and stability still remains a challenge. Here we report that 4H-Au nanowires (NWs), when used as templates, can induce the quasi-epitaxial growth of high-phase-purity and stable 1T′-TMD MLs, including WS₂, WSe₂, MoS₂ and MoSe₂, via a facile and rapid wet-chemical method. The as-synthesized 4H-Au@1T′-TMD core–shell NWs can be used for ultrasensitive surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection. For instance, the 4H-Au@1T′-WS₂ NWs have achieved attomole-level SERS detections of Rhodamine 6G and a variety of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike proteins. This work provides insights into the preparation of high-phase-purity and stable 1T′-TMD MLs on metal substrates or templates, showing great potential in various promising applications.
