- Abstract
The van der Waals heterojunction is able to combine the advantages of different materials and has potential to be used in biosensing researches. In this study, we developed a novel van der Waals heterojunction by combining MXene and MoS
2 nanosheets for the electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensing applications. This van der Waals heterojunction material not only possessed the superior conductivity of MXene, but also regulated the electron transport. Additionally, the incorporation of MoS2 nanosheets into the MXene interlayers significantly enhances the material stability. Meanwhile, nitrogen-rich quantum dots (N dots) were synthesized as ECL tags with an impressive nitrogen content of up to 75 %. By integrating the ECL response of N dots within the van der Waals heterojunction, we established a highly efficient sensing system for miRNA-373, which overexpressed in triple negative breast cancer tissues. The van der Waals heterojunction-based biosensor can enhance the ECL signal of N dots effectively to detect miRNA-373 from 1 fM to 1 μM. Consequently, the developed sensing system holds promise for the early detection of metastasis of the triple-negative breast cancer, paving the way for the effective clinical interventions., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper., (Copyright © 2024 Elsevier B.V.
