Abstract

In this communication, a novel and highly sensitive DNA sensor based on nanoporous molybdenum carbide nanowires (Mo<sub>2</sub>C NWs) is presented. The Mo<sub>2</sub>C NWs were synthesized on a large scale via pyrolysis of a MoOx/amine hybrid precursor under an inert atmosphere. The enriched nanoporosity and the large active surface of these highly dispersed nanowires with uniform Mo<sub>2</sub>C nanocrystallites make them an efficient nanosensor, leading to their high sensitivity with a detection limit of 50 pM and good selectivity.
