“…Due to its unique aspects, Cu is an ideal choice to use in SPR sensors. Nevertheless, because Cu is an easily and quickly oxidizing metal, using it directly as an individual metal layer will result in dense, fragile oxide layers [19]. Recently, several approaches, including bimetal (such as Cu-Ni) [20], coating metal oxide protection layers (like SiO 2 , Fe 2 O 3 , BaTiO 3 , ZnO, MoO 3 ) [16,19,[21][22][23], or 2D materials [24] are suggested to overcome the oxidation of copper.…”

“…Zhang et al designed a biomolecule detection SPR sensor using Fe 2 O 3 , which enhances the electric field and evanescent field depth at the Fe 2 O 3 /sensing medium interface because Fe 2 O 3 has a high refractive index value, resulting in highly sensitive performance [27]. Not long ago, Ahmed and Wang et al reported that the SPR biosensor using Fe 2 O 3 layer over Au and Cu thin film provided the best sensing performance due to its good adsorbent property and its low extinction coefficient [19,28]. Lately, Augustine et al reported the superior biocompatibility of molybdenum trioxide (MoO 3 ) suitable for the detection of breast cancer [29].…”

This numerical research presents a simple hybrid structure comprised of TiO2-Cu-BaTiO3 for a modified Kretschmann configuration that exhibits high sensitivity and high resolution for biosensing applications through an angular interrogation method. Recently, copper (Cu) emerged as an exceptional choice as a plasmonic metal for developing surface plasmon sensors (SPR) with high resolution as it yields finer, thinner SPR curves than Ag and Au. As copper is prone to oxidation, especially in ambient conditions, the proposed structure involves the utilization of barium titanate (BaTiO3) film as a protection layer that not only preserves Cu film from oxidizing but enhances the performance of the sensor to a great extent. Numerical results also show that the utilization of a thin adhesive layer of titanium dioxide (TiO2) between the prism base and Cu film not only induces strong interaction between them but also enhances the performance of the sensor. Such a configuration, upon suitable optimization of the thickness of each layer, is found to enhance sensitivity as high as 552°/RIU with a figure of merit (FOM) of 136.97 RIU−1. This suggested biosensor design with enhanced sensitivity is expected to enable long-term detection with greater accuracy and sensitivity even when using Cu as a plasmonic metal.

In this simulation work, comparative study of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) based sensor designed with gold (Au), Aluminium (Al), Silver (Ag) are numerically investigated to improve the performance parameter of device using Ni-Antimonene layer in the visible range of light at wavelength of 633nm. In this device configuration, different metals (Ag/Au/Al), a diamagnetic material (Fe2O3), Nickel (Ni) and 2D material Antimonene (Sb) is used with CaF2 glass prism using Kretschmann configuration with angle interrogation method. The angle interrogation method is used to examine the performance of the device. The performance parameters of SPR sensor such as sensitivity, detection accuracy (DA), quality factor (QF) has been calculated. The thickness of metals (Au/Al/Ag) and number of different material thickness has been optimized by using genetic algorithms to improve the performance of device. The present study reveals that Ag metal based SPR Sensor exhibit a higher sensitivity as compared to Al and Au based SPR sensor at 55 nm of thickness. At 55nm thickness of Ag minimum reflectance curve has been obtained in comparison with Au and Al. The studied multilayer configuration of SPR sensor device using different metal Au/Al/Ag with Fe2O3, Ni and Antimonene in presence of glass prism, the maximum sensitivity 3100/RIU is obtained in case of Ag. The sensitivities of Au and Al metals are 660RIU-1, 2040RIU-1 respectively which is less in comparison to Ag metal. The different performance parameter of SPR sensor such as sensitivity, full width at half maximum (FWHM) value, DA, figure of merit (FoM), limit of detection (LoD) is calculated for all three metals but in the case of Ag performance is good compared to Au and Al. The penetration depth (PD) 110.5nm and 3D plot of transverse electric (TM) field intensity have also been plotted. The proposed SPR sensor using Ag metal with highest sensitivity value has capability to detect the different liquid analytes in the field of biosensing application with large uses in biomedical field in visible range.

The field of 2D materials has advanced significantly with the emergence of MBenes, a new material derived from the MAX phases family, a novel class of materials that originates from the MAX phases family. Herein, this article explores the unique characteristics and morphological variations of MBenes, offering a comprehensive overview of their structural evolution. First, the discussion explores the evolutionary period of 2D MBenes associated with the several techniques for synthesizing, modifying, and characterizing MBenes to tailor their structure and enhance their functionality. The focus then shifts to the defect chemistry of MBenes, electronic, catalytic, and photothermal properties which play a crucial role in designing multifunctional solar‐driven hybrid systems. Second, the recent advancements and potentials of 2D MBenes in solar‐driven hybrid systems e.g. photo‐electro catalysis, hybrid solar evaporators for freshwater and thermoelectric generators, and phototherapy, emphasizing their crucial significance in tackling energy and environmental issues, are explored. The study further explores the fundamental principles that regulate the improved photocatalytic and photothermal characteristics of MBenes, highlighting their promise for effective utilization of solar energy and remediation of the environment. The study also thoroughly assesses MBenes' scalability, stability, and cost effectiveness in solar‐driven systems. Current insights and future directions allow researchers to utilize MBenes for sustainable and varied applications. This review regarding MBenes will be valuable to early researchers intrigued with synthesizing and utilizing 2D materials for solar‐powered water‐energy‐fuel and phototherapy systems.
