“…Besides graphene, several other typical 2D layered materials, such as hexagonal boron nitride, molybdenum dichalcogenides MoX 2 (X = S, Se), black phosphorus, and triclinic rhenium disulfide (ReS 2 ), have also been studied as possible candidates as SERS‐active materials. Among 2D transition metal dichalcogenides, MoX 2 (X = S, Se) compounds have been intensively studied due to their unique electronic, optical, and mechanical properties, and they are now applicable in SERS‐mediated molecule detection . MoX 2 has a layered crystal structure somewhat similar to graphene, but with different electronic properties as well as surface chemical properties, and it may act as an ideal flat substrate for SERS studies.…”
