Abstract
Constructing a semiconductor heterojunction with high carrier concentration and mobility is an effective strategy to boost the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) performance of semiconductor. Here, a novel ternary molybdenum-based compound heterojunction 2H-MoS2/MoO3/1T-MoS2 was developed as an excellent semiconducting SERS substrate for ultrasensitive detection of bilirubin in urine. Theoretical calculation and experimental results prove the contribution of charge transfer mechanism to SERS enhancement. The high carrier concentration in the substrate and the high electron mobility induced by the heterostructure are together responsible for its huge SERS enhancement effect. The substrate has a limit of detection (LOD) of 1.05 × 10−10 M and a SERS enhancement factor (EF) of 1.48 × 109 for methylene blue probe. More meaningfully, the developed heterojunction substrate can achieve an ultrasensitive and high-selectivity detection for bilirubin in human urine, and the LOD is as low as 9.94 × 10−9 M.
