Abstract

Single-layer transition metal dichalcogenide nanosheets, including MoS2, TiS2, and TaS2, are used as novel sensing platforms for sensitive and selective detection of DNA, based on their high fluorescence-quenching ability and different affinities toward single-stranded DNA and double-stranded DNA. Importantly, for the first time, a single-layer TaS2 nanosheet-based multiplexed DNA sensor is also developed.
