Molybdenum disulphide (MoS2), e.g. has turned out to be a highly suitable material for interacting with thiols. The resulting materials are sufficiently soft according to Pearson to bind sulphur containing compounds reversibly. Depositing MoS2 nanoparticle submonolayers (particle size 200--300 nm) leads to an increase in sensor response by a factor of ten compared to a pure gold layer. Additionally, the nanoparticle layers show fully reversible sensor signals. Particle synthesis can also be combined with the molecular imprinting approach: by a precipitation technique, it is possible to generate molecularly imprinted TiO2 particles for engine oil degradation measurements. Compared with deposited thin layers, particles incorporate oxidised compounds from lubricants by a factor of two better.", optnote="exported from refbase (https://db.rplab.ru/refbase/show.php?record=568), last updated on Thu, 19 Mar 2009 18:11:28 -0500", issn="0925-4005", doi="10.1016/j.snb.2007.07.020", opturl="http://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S0925400507004765", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.snb.2007.07.020" }
