A Ni(OH) 2 /TiO 2 photoanode possessing high photoelectrocatalytic activity toward glucose oxidation driven by visible light was fabricated. The results indicated that deposition of Ni(OH) 2 on TiO 2 film electrode could remarkably promote the catalytic oxidation of glucose under visible light illumination. By applying a low voltage, the Ni(OH) 2 /TiO 2 electrode showed a linear photoelectrochemical response to glucose in the concentration range from 0.5 μM to 20 μM. Furthermore, the high photoelectrocatalytic activity of Ni(OH) 2 /TiO 2 electrode toward glucose oxidation was utilized to construct a glucose-air photofuel cell, which generated electrical signal responding to glucose concentration from 5 μM to 100 μM, without using external electrical power supply. Thus, dual non-enzymatic glucose sensors based on photocatalytic oxidation of glucose on the Ni(OH) 2 /TiO 2 electrode under visible light illumination were demonstrated.

Radial heterostructures with titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) nanowire as core and NTU-9 as shell are synthesized via a surfactant-free approach based on the favorable bonding of linkers with TiO 2 nanowire. Relative to the traditional growth strategy of surface modification, the thin NTU-9 shell with ordered arrangement of two-dimensional networks is uniformly formed on the sidewalls of TiO 2 nanowire through the orientational growth process. Using the core–shell nanowire arrays as photoanodes , wide-range light absorption and high charge carrier separation efficiency are achieved due to the conjugation of NTU-9, leading to enhanced water oxidation performance in photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting. Under appropriately low applied potentials, the photogenerated holes are preferable to accumulate at TiO 2 /NTU-9/electrolyte three-phase interface and thus the long-range ordered NTU-9 shell can also serve as a size-exclusion filter to improve selectivity toward molecules of different sizes. Consequently, the TiO 2 /NTU-9 core–shell nanowire array exhibits an augmented and selective PEC response for small size molecules ( e.g., H 2 O 2 ) at a very low potential (–0.25 V vs Ag/AgCl), outperforming the pure TiO 2 nanowire array and the counterpart with a grain-boundary-rich NTU-9 shell that is prepared by pretreatment of the TiO 2 nanowires with PVP functionalization.

Metal-organic framework nanocrystal (Zn-MOF) was synthesized by using 3,3'-{(propane-1,3-diyl)bis[1-(4-carboxybenzyl)-1H-imidazol-3-ium]} hexafluorophosphate ionic liquid as the functional monomer and Zn 2+ as the central metal ion under hydrothermal conditions. Spatially confined gold nanoparticles (Au-NP) were prepared by in-situ reduction of chloroauric acid in the nanopores of Zn-MOF using acetic acid as the reducing agent to fabricate [email protected] nanocomposites . [email protected] was further functionalized with 1H-imidazolium-1,3-bis(2-aminoethyl)bromide ionic liquid (IBABr) to prepare [email protected] nanocomposites. All abovementioned nanomaterials were thoroughly characterized by TEM , SEM, XPS , FTIR, and nitrogen-adsorption surface area analysis. [email protected] were then deposited onto a glassy carbon electrode and used as the photoactive element to fabricate a label-free photoelectrochemical (PEC) immunosensor by immobilizing anti-squamous cell carcinoma antigen (anti-SCCA). The PEC sensing principle is based on the photocurrent decline due to the blocking effect of SCCA on the electron and mass transfer after binding SCCA to anti-SCCA. The photocurrent variation related to the specific recognition of SCCA shows a linear relationship to the logarithm of SCCA concentration in the range of 5.0 pg mL −1 to 15.0 ng mL −1 . The detection limit is as low as 2.34 pg mL −1 . Such a signal-off PEC immunosensor is highly selective, sensitive, stable, and reproducible towards SCCA detection. Its performance is comparable to enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay from the studies on clinical samples. This immunosensor is promising for the label-free determining SCCA in clinical human serum samples.

Developing effective analytical method for sulfadimethoxine (SDM) detection is highly desirable and vitally crucial for protecting environment safety and human health. Herein, a highly selective and sensitive photoelectrochemical (PEC) aptasensor for accurate detection of SDM was proposed, which employed zinc phthalocyanine/graphitic carbon nitride (ZnPc/CN) nanocomposite as photosensitive material. The ZnPc/CN nanocomposite was constructed by modification of CN nanosheet with visible/near-infrared light responsive photosensitizer ZnPc. The introduction of ZnPc into CN exhibited amplified PEC response, which was 5.7 and 18.3 times than pure ZnPc and CN, attributed to the enhanced light harvesting ability and improved photoelectric conversion efficiency of such nanocomposite. By using ZnPc/CN and sulfadimethoxine (SDM) aptamer as PEC response material and specific probe, a PEC aptasensor was established for SDM detection. The aptamer was connected to the surface of chitosan/ZnPc/CN/ITO through the formation of phosphoramidate bonds between the amino group of the chitosan and phosphate group of the aptamer at 5′ end. The fabricated aptasensor displayed good detection linearity of 0.1 ~ 300 nM and low detection limit of 0.03 nM (S/N = 3) under optimized conditions, and the potential applicability of the PEC aptasensor was confirmed by detecting SDM in milk powder samples.

In this study, a novel photoelectrochemical (PEC) aptasensor based on two-dimensional (2D) porphyrinic covalent organic frameworks (p-COFs) for the label-free detection of C-reactive protein (CRP) is presented. The obtained p-COFs possess high conductivity and an improved stability due to strong and rigid covalent linkages. The introduction of p-COFs hinder the recombination of electrons and holes, decreasing their band gap (E g ), thereby which improved the photocurrent conversion efficiency. Compared with pure porphyrin , p-COFs exhibited enhanced photocurrent intensity. An amplified photocurrent conversion efficiency and enhanced photocurrent results from H 2 O 2 , which act as active molecules and electron donors . As an unprecedented application of COFs in PEC bioanalysis , the detection of CRP with a PEC aptasensor is presented. The assembly of a CRP aptamer on the surface of Ag nanoparticles hinders the electron transfer , resulting in the decrease of the photocurrent response. This PEC aptasensor exhibits good analytical performances such as a rapid response, high stability, wide linear range and excellent selectivity , making COFs promising candidates for PEC bioanalysis.

As a kind of plasticizer , butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP) presents a serious hazard to the ecosystem. Therefore, there is a strong need for an effective technique to eliminate the risk of BBP. In this work, a new photocatalyst of Bi/Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 /Bi 2 S 3 with an S-scheme heterojunction was synthesized using Bi(NO 3 ) 3 as the Bi source, Na 2 S as the S source, and DMF as the carbon source and reductant. Numerous techniques have been used to characterize Bi/Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 /Bi 2 S 3, such as scanning electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy , X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The improved photoactivity of Bi/Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 /Bi 2 S 3 was evaluated by photoelectrochemical response, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, photoluminescence , UV–Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, and electrochemical Mott Schottky spectroscopy. The enhanced photocatalytic activity of this composite for BBP degradation under simulated sunlight irradiation could be attributed to the surface plasmon resonance effect of Bi metal and the heterojunction structure of Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 and Bi 2 S 3 . The degradation rate of Bi/Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 /Bi 2 S 3 was 85%, which was 4.52 and 1.52 times that of Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 and Bi 2 S 3 , respectively. The prepared photocatalyst possessed good stability and reproducibility in eliminating BBP. The improved photocatalytic activity of Bi/Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 /Bi 2 S 3 was demonstrated with the formation of an S-scheme heterojunction, and the degradation mechanism was discussed with a liquid chromatograph mass spectrometer .

DNA hydroxymethylation is an important epigenetic modification, which plays crucial roles in many biological processes, such as gene expression and cell differentiation. Herein, a novel photoelectrochemical immunosensor was built for detecting 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC), where the perovskite Bi 4 TaO 8 Cl sensitized by 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylicacid (PTCA) was implemented as photoactive material, anti-5hmC antibody was served as target recognition reagent, ZrO 2 was used for connecting more modifications, and ferrocene was adopted as signal amplification unit. The prepared nanomaterials of Bi 4 TaO 8 Cl, PTCA and ZrO 2 were well characterized. The possible mechanism for the improved PEC response of Bi 4 TaO 8 Cl sensitized by PTCA was investigated carefully, indicated that the matched energy band facilitated the migration of photogenerated electron. In addition, the possible mechanism for signal amplification caused by ferrocene was investigated, showing that ferrocene acted as electron donor to accelerate electron transfer. Under the optimal condition, the biosensor manifested wide detection range from 0.02 to 100 nM with the low detection limit of 5.2 pM (S/N = 3). Moreover, the applicability of the biosensor was demonstrated by investigating the effect of heavy metal Cd 2+ and perfluorooctanoic acid on 5hmC content in the leaves and roots of wheat seedlings, as well as the effect of ALV-J on 5hmC content in chicken serum.
