Abstract

The pharmaceutical industry is growing expendably, and there is an increasing demand for sensors that are both efficient and rapid. The objective of this study is to develop a small, efficient device that utilises non-toxic materials for its intended application. Recently, In recent times, a significant degree of attention has been focused on 2D materials such as MoS2, VSe2 and WS2 for this particular application, due to the fact that these materials possess a number of advantageous electrical and optical properties. The idea of combining them with Au NCs to improve their properties has flourished, leading to this study to understand the interaction between the materials. In order to comprehend the charge transfer mechanism between the materials and to ascertain whether there is an impact on their properties or electronic structure, Photoluminescence and UV-VIS spectroscopy have been used and coupled with cyclic voltammetry testing. The combined materials shown interesting results towards PL analysis and demonstrated their aptitude to detect Uric Acid in CV analysis. Finally, a summary of the findings, future key factors and challenges of this work is provided.
