Optical and Material Characteristics of MoS2/Cu2O Sensor for Detection of Lung Cancer Cell Types in Hydroplegia

Abstract

In this study, n-type MoS2 monolayer flakes are grown through chemical vapor deposition (CVD), and a p-type Cu2O thin film is grown via electrochemical deposition. The crystal structure of the grown MoS2 flakes is analyzed through transmission electron microscopy. The monolayer structure of the MoS2 flakes is verified with Raman spectroscopy, multiphoton excitation microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and photoluminescence (PL) measurements. After the preliminary processing of the grown MoS2 flakes, the sample is then transferred onto a Cu2O thin film to complete a p-n heterogeneous structure. Data are confirmed via scanning electron microscopy, SHG, and Raman mapping measurements. The luminous energy gap between the two materials is examined through PL measurements. Results reveal that the thickness of the single-layer MoS2 film is 0.7 nm. PL mapping shows a micro signal generated at the 627 nm wavelength, which belongs to the B2 excitons of MoS2 and tends to increase gradually when it approaches 670 nm. Finally, the biosensor is used to detect lung cancer cell types in hydroplegia significantly reducing the current busy procedures and longer waiting time for detection. The results suggest that the fabricated sensor is highly sensitive to the change in the photocurrent with the number of each cell, the linear regression of the three cell types is as high as 99%. By measuring the slope of the photocurrent, we can identify the type of cells and the number of cells.

Identification of Early Esophageal Cancer by Semantic Segmentation

“…Barbeiro et al (2019) used NBI to study gastrointestinal endoscopy and found that NBI can be used as an important auxiliary image for WLI, which can improve the detection of gastrointestinal lesions. Apart from CAD, many biosensors have been recently researched to detect different cancer types [ 35 , 36 , 37 ]. However, most of these biosensors have a high limit of detection, thereby leading to poor sensitivity in early-stage cancer detection.…”

Intelligent Identification of Early Esophageal Cancer by Band-Selective Hyperspectral Imaging

“…Therefore, detecting esophageal cancer in its early stage is vital to increasing the five-year survival rate. One of the methods of detecting esophageal cancer is through a biosensor; however, most biosensors cannot detect cancer at the early stages [ 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 ].…”

Design of a Lab-On-Chip for Cancer Cell Detection through Impedance and Photoelectrochemical Response Analysis

“…One way to detect cancer during its early stages is by using a cancer biosensor [ 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 ]. The specificity, quickness, compactness, and price of a biosensor present prospects for regionalized medical diagnoses [ 29 ].…”
