Abstract
Transition Metal Dichalcogenides (TMDCs), such as molybdenum disulfide (MoS¿), exhibit high surface area, biocompatibility, and unique properties that depend on their structural phase (1T or 2H) and the number of layers, such as a tunable band gap. These materials can be combined with plasmonic nanoparticles to create multifunctional systems. For instance, MoS¿ decorated with gold nanopar…
