Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is an ultrasensitive detection technique that is used extensively in various analytical applications, including biomedical diagnostics, food safety, and environmental monitoring. Recently, two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) with diverse crystal phases have emerged as promising substrates for SERS detection due to their unique optical and electronic properties. In this perspective, we first introduce the crystal structures and physicochemical properties of TMDs. Then, we briefly summarize the research progress on the preparation of semiconducting and metallic/semi-metallic 2D TMD substrates and their hybrid structures integrated with plasmonic metals for SERS detection. Finally, after we discuss the current challenges and future directions in this exciting field, we highlight the importance of the crystal phases of 2D TMDs in regulating their SERS performance and provide our insights into future research directions in the phase engineering of 2D TMDs for SERS.
