  • First Online:
Book cover Two Dimensional Transition Metal Dichalcogenides

Abstract

Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), an emerging 2D analogy of graphene, with their captivating physiochemical properties find applications in advanced point-of-care diagnosis of various health-related issues. Specially, multidimensional structures of TMDs and its structure-dependent electronic, optical and electrocatalytic properties are apt for the design of different types (electrochemical, photoluminescence and colorimetric) of biosensing devices. Henceforth, this chapter outlines the biosensing applications of TMDs and its recent developments. Introduction part of this chapter will give a brief knowledge about the principle mechanisms of the different sensing methods followed by the importance of TMDs. Second p art, particularly concerned to address the recent advances in the different TMDs-based biosensors for the detection of diverse analytes. Present challenges preceded by the suggestions of its amelioration for day-to-day life clinical applications and opportunities are proposed at the end.
