Journal ArticleDOI

Nanostructured Aptamer-Functionalized Black Phosphorus Sensing Platform for Label-Free Detection of Myoglobin, a Cardiovascular Disease Biomarker.

TL;DR: The electrochemical detection of the redox active cardiac biomarker myoglobin using aptamer-functionalized black phosphorus nanostructured electrodes by measuring direct electron transfer is reported, opening up avenues to bedside technologies for multiplexed diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases in complex human samples.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure and electronic properties of in situ synthesized single-layer MoS2 on a gold surface.

TL;DR: The MoS2/Au system is proposed as a promising candidate to further explore the properties of supported 2D transition-metal dichalcogenides in the context of nanopatterned two-dimensional materials on metal surfaces.
Journal ArticleDOI

In Situ Detection of Active Edge Sites in Single-Layer MoS2 Catalysts.

TL;DR: Ambient pressure X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy allows us to follow in situ the formation of the catalytically relevant MoS2 edge sites in their active state, and a consistent picture emerges in which the core level shifts for the edge Mo atoms evolve counterintuitively toward higher binding energies when the active edges are reduced.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synthesis of High‐Surface‐Area Platinum Nanotubes Using a Viral Template

TL;DR: In this article, a method for the synthesis of high-active surface area, platinum-tobacco mosaic virus (Pt-TMV) nanotubes is presented, where a platinum salt is reduced to its metallic form on the external surface of a rod-shaped TMV by methanol.
Journal ArticleDOI

Edge reactivity and water-assisted dissociation on cobalt oxide nanoislands.

TL;DR: Surprisingly, it is found that an additional water molecule acts to promote all the elementary steps of the dissociation process and subsequent hydrogen migration, revealing the important assisting role of a water molecule in its own Dissociation process on a metal oxide.
