Two-dimensional carbon-coated molybdenum disulfide (MoS2@C) hollow nanorods are combined with nucleic acid signal amplification strategies and DNA hexahedral nanoframework to construct a novel self-powered biosensing platform for ultra-sensitive dual-mode detection of tumor suppressor microRNA-199a. The nanomaterial is applied on carbon cloth and then modified with glucose oxidase or using as bioanode. A large number of double helix DNA chains are produced on bicathode by nucleic acid technologies including 3D DNA walker, hybrid chain reaction and DNA hexahedral nanoframework to adsorb methylene blue, producing high EOCV signal. Methylene blue also is reduced and an increased RGB Blue value is observed. For microRNA-199a detection, the assay shows a extensive linear range of 0.0001-100 pM with a low detection limit of 4.94 amol/L (S/N = 3). The method has been applied to the detection of actual serum samples, providing a novel method for the accurate and sensitive detection of tumor markers.
