Electrochemically reduced single-layer MoS₂ nanosheets: characterization, properties, and sensing applications.

The electrochemical study of single-layer, 2D MoS₂ nanosheets reveals a reduction peak in the cyclic voltammetry in NaCl aqueous solution. The electrochemically reduced MoS₂ (rMoS₂) shows good conductivity and fast electron transfer rate in the [Fe(CN)₆]³⁻/⁴⁻ and [Ru(NH₃)₆]²⁺/³⁺ redox systems. The obtained rMoS₂ can be used for glucose detection. In addition, it can selectively detect dopamine in the presence of ascorbic acid and uric acid. This novel material, rMoS₂, is believed to be a good electrode material for electrochemical sensing applications.
