Photoluminescence: Dual Role of Blue Luminescent MoS2 Quantum Dots in Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer Phenomenon (Small 19/2014)
Graphical Abstract
MoS2 nanosheets are explored by T. S. Seo and co-workers on page 3858. They are homogeneous in terms of the thickness (single layer) and dimension (10–20 nm in the lateral dimension) and with narrow size distribution reveal unique blue photoluminescence, and the luminescent MoS2 quantum dots can play a role as a donor or an acceptor in the fluorescence resonance energy transfer system of the Alexa Fluor 430-dsDNA-MoS2 conjugates.
