To improve the curability of cancer patients, it is essential to propose an early diagnosis technology with ultra-high sensitivity and reliable biocompatibility. Herein, a sophisticated nonmetallic SERS-based immunosensor, comprised by a MoS @FeO nanoflower-based immunoprobe with magnetism and a black phosphorus (BP) nanosheet-based immunosubstrate, was proposed for the specific in-situ monitoring of ferritin (FER). The sandwich immunosensor was endowed with an excellent SERS performance mainly ascribed to a synergistic chemical enhancement as well as an additional electrostatic adsorption effect, achieving a limit of detection down to 7.3 × 10 μg/mL. Particularly, all the Raman label, target FER, and anti-FER could be completely degraded within 70 min under visible light irradiation owing to the favorable photocatalytic activities of MoS and BP which could be then effectively separated and collected with the assistance of an external magnet. Such a recyclable nonmetallic immunosensor holds great potential and practicality in the clinical screening of cancer.

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a powerful tool for label-free chemical analysis. The emergence of nonmetallic materials as SERS substrates, offering chemical signal enhancements, presents an exciting direction for achieving reproducible and biocompatible SERS, a challenge with traditional metallic substrates. Despite the potential, the realm of nonmetallic SERS substrates, particularly nanoparticles, remains largely untapped.

Owing to its promising biocompatibility and reliable sensitivity, semiconductor-guided surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technology has aroused widespread concern in clinical immunoassays. Herein, the well-improved light capture capability of MoS with a novel three-dimensional (3D) flower-like morphology was combined with the synergistic chemical enhancement from a MoS@red phosphorus (RP) hybrid system, facilitating an attractive non-metallic SERS-based detection of ferritin in serum. Owing to the remarkable enhancement factors of both the immunoprobe and immunosubstrate, which were comparable to noble metal, an extremely low limit detection of 11.

Recently, non-metallic SERS-based immunoassay has attracted much attention due to its attractive chemical enhancement (CM), chemical stability, and biocompatibility. Herein, metallic (1T)-semiconductor (2H) mixed-phase magnetic molybdenum disulfide (MoS) was rationally developed and combined with two-dimensional (2D) graphitic carbon nitride (g-CN) nanosheets to realize a SERS-based recyclable immunoassay of CA125. The FeO core promoted the reliable stacking of MoS nanoflakes into a flower-like shape with fully-exposed active surface.

Recently, nonmetallic substrates have stimulated great interest in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based immunoassay owing to their good uniformity, stability, and biocompatibility. In this context, a novel nonmetallic SERS-based immunoassay mediated by two-dimensional molybdenum disulfide (MoS) was delivered for the sensitive and specific monitoring of carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9). The effective enrichment of molecules on the large active surfaces of MoS as well as potential 532-nm laser-induced charge transfer resonances between them engendered desirable enhancement factor values at the level of 10.
