Nowadays, fluorescent molybdenum disulfide quantum dots (MoS QDs) have proven to be potential candidates in the sensing and bioimaging areas owing to their exceptional intrinsic characteristics. Here, a simple hydrothermal strategy was explored for the preparation of MoS QDs using ammonium heptamolybdate and 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP) as precursors. The emission peak of MoS QDs was significantly quenched in the presence Cr ion due to the selective surface chemistry on the surfaces of MoS QDs. The designed fluorescent MoS QDs showed a linear fluorescence quenching response with increasing concentration of Cr ion (0.1-10 μM), allowing to detect Cr ion even at 0.08 μM. This fluorescent MoS QDs were utilized for the quantification of Cr ion in real samples (water and biological samples). Interestingly, the synthesized MoS QDs exhibited negligible cytotoxicity on NRK cells and acted as good candidates for imaging of Trichoderma viride fungal cells.

Mastering the surface chemistry of quantum dots (QDs) has enabled a remarkable gas-sensing response as well as impressive air stability. To overcome the intrinsic receptor-transducer mismatch of QDs, PbS QDs used as sensitive NO receptors are spin-coated on top of a few-layer MoS and incorporated into a thin-film transistor (TFT) gas sensor. This architecture enables the separation of the electron transduction function from the chemical reception function.

To expand the detection capabilities of silicon (Si)-based photodetector and address key scientific challenges such as low light absorption efficiency and short carrier lifetime in Si-based graphene photodetector. This work introduces a novel Si-based Schottky coupled structure by in situ growth of 3D-graphene and molybdenum disulfide quantum dots (MoS QDs) on Si substrates using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) techniques. The findings validate the "dual-enhanced absorption" effect, enhancing the understanding of the mechanisms that improve optoelectronic performance.

Herein, a dual-mode fluorometric and colorimetric biosensor for Pax-5a gene was developed based on zinc-doped molybdenum disulfide quantum dots (Zn-MoS QDs) by coupling exonuclease-assisted recycling amplification and peroxidase-mimic DNAzyme. In the presence of Pax-5a gene, the exonuclease III can cleave the duplexes formed by Pax-5a gene and the hairpin DNA (HP), releasing the output DNA (oDNA). G-rich DNA and magnetic beads (MBs) labeled with capture DNA (cDNA) can hybridize with oDNA to form the MBs-cDNA/oDNA/G-rich DNA sandwich complex.

Diseases caused by viruses, such as monkeypox virus (MPXV) and human papillomavirus (HPV), pose serious threats to human health and safety. Although numerous strategies have been constructed for detecting MPXV and HPV DNA, most methods require either laborious procedures or complicated instruments involving skilled professionals. In this research, a CRISPR-Cas12a-mediated colorimetric detection platform for MPXV and HPV sensing was constructed for the first time by applying probe DNA to reprogram the catalytic properties of molybdenum disulfide quantum dots (MoS QDs).
