The electrode modified by multiwalled carbon nanotubes, Ru(bpy)]2+3 and polypyrrole ( MWNTs-Ru (bpy) ]2+3 -PPy ) was prepared to adsorb the ssDNA by electrostatic interactions. Then, the ssDNA recognized the gold nanoparticles (AuNPs)-labeled p53 gene and produced the AuNPs-dsDNA electrode with the AuNPs layer. The AuNPs layer adsorbed the ADH molecules for producing the ECL signal. Thus, the biosensor was based on coupling enzyme substrate reaction with solid-state ECL detection, and it displayed good sensitivity and specificity. The detection limit of the wild type p53 sequence (wtp53) is as low as 0. 1 pmol/L and the discrimination is up to 57. 1% between the wtp53 and the muted type p53 sequence (mtp53). The amenability of this method to the analyses of p53 from normal and cancer cell lysates is demonstrated. The signal of wtp53 in the MGC-803 gastric cancer cell lysates turns out to be about 61.8% that of the wtp53 in the GES-1 normal gastric mucosal cell lysates, and the concentration of the wtp53 is found to decrease about 59 times. The method is highly complementary to enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and it holds promise for the diagnosis and management of cancer.展开更多

Alcohol dehydrogenase was immobilized onto a sulfonated nanotube-supporting electrode with tris(2,2'-bipyridyl) ruthenium(II) complex to form an electrogenerated chemilluminesce sensor of alcohol. When it was used to detect alcohol in cyclic voltammetric measurements, the sensor showed the linearity over the range of 1.0 × 10^-4 M-5.0 ×10^-2 M, with a correlation coefficient of 0.992 and a detection limit of 1.9 ×10^-6 M. In electrogenerated chemilluminesce detection, it showed linearity over 5.0 × 10^-4 M-1.0 × 10^-2 M, with a correlation coefficient of 0.986 and a detection limit of 1.0 × 10^-6 M. The sensor was demonstrated to be able to detect ethanol in commercial drinks.展开更多

The excitation power-dependent photol and surface photovoltage (SPV) techniques were used to study the optoelectronic properties of the as-grown ZnSe nanoribbons. Three deep defect (DD)-related emission bands, respectively, centered at 623 nm (DD1), 563 nm (DD2) and 525 nm (DD3), emerge orderly with increasing the excitation power, which is attributed to the saturation of the DD states from deeper to shallower level. The SPV spectrum and the corresponding phase spectrum show that DD1 mainly acts as recombination center, while DD2 and DD3 can act as both the recombination center and electron traps. The influence of the trapping electrons on the SPV response dynamic was studied with transient SPV.展开更多

However, obtaining large area thin films of MoS2 for future device applications still remains a challenge. In the present study, the amounts of the precursors (S and MOO3) were varied systematically in order to optimize the growth of highly crystalline and large area MoS2 layers by the chemical vapor deposition method. Careful control of the amounts of precursors was found to the key factor in the synthesis of large area highly crystalline flakes. The thickness of the layers was confirmed by Raman spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy. The optical properties and chemical composition were studied by photoluminescence (PL) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The emergence of strong direct excitonic emissions at 1.82 eV (A-exciton, with a normalized PL intensity of -55 × 10^3) and 1.98 eV (B-exciton, with a normalized PL intensity of -5 × 10^3) of the sample at room temperature clearly indicates the high luminescence quantum efficiency. The mobility of the films was found to be 0.09 cm^2/(V.s) at room temperature. This study provides a method for the controlled synthesis of high-quality two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenide materials, useful for applications in nanodevices, optoelectronics and solar energv conversion.展开更多
