Abstract
Abstract A new gold film-molybdenum disulfide (MoS2)-hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) three-layer sensing structure is reported for sensing applications. The strong photoelectric conversion of MoS2 and the wide forbidden band of h-BN are used to enhance the surface plasmon resonance of the gold film which greatly enhance the sensitivity of the sensor. The Au film was deposited on the optical fiber by controlled vacuum sputtering to monitor the thickness. The MoS2 nanolayer was deposited on the surface of the gold film by electrostatic adsorption and the hexagonal boron nitride nanolayer was subsequently superimposed to complete the preparation. The sensitivity of the prepared sensor was increased to 3803.0 nm/RIU, which is 71.5% higher than for the common gold film sensor. These results confirmed that this approach significantly upgraded the sensor performance. The newly proposed SPR sensor performed well using a simple structure, is low-cost, offers high accuracy and favorable specificity, and may be used for small molecule detection for medical applications.
期刊介绍:
Instrumentation Science & Technology is an internationally acclaimed forum for fast publication of critical, peer reviewed manuscripts dealing with innovative instrument design and applications in chemistry, physics biotechnology and environmental science. Particular attention is given to state-of-the-art developments and their rapid communication to the scientific community.
Emphasis is on modern instrumental concepts, though not exclusively, including detectors, sensors, data acquisition and processing, instrument control, chromatography, electrochemistry, spectroscopy of all types, electrophoresis, radiometry, relaxation methods, thermal analysis, physical property measurements, surface physics, membrane technology, microcomputer design, chip-based processes, and more.
Readership includes everyone who uses instrumental techniques to conduct their research and development. They are chemists (organic, inorganic, physical, analytical, nuclear, quality control) biochemists, biotechnologists, engineers, and physicists in all of the instrumental disciplines mentioned above, in both the laboratory and chemical production environments. The journal is an important resource of instrument design and applications data.
