A novel photoelectrochemical (PEC) aptasensor based on a dual Z-scheme α-Fe2O3/MoS2/Bi2S3 ternary heterojunction for the ultrasensitive detection of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) was developed. The α-Fe2O3/MoS2/Bi2S3 nanocomposite was prepared via a step-by-step route, and the photoproduced electron/hole transfer path was speculated by conducting trapping experiments of reactive species. α-Fe2O3/MoS2/Bi2S3-modified electrodes exhibited greatly enhanced photocurrent under visible light due to the double Z-scheme charge transfer process, which met the requirement of the PEC sensor for detecting larger targets. After the aptamer was conjugated on the photoelectrode through chitosan (CS) and glutaraldehyde (GA), when MCF-7 cells were presented and captured, the photocurrent of the PEC biosensing system decreased due to steric hindrance. The current intensity had a linear relationship with the logarithm of MCF-7 cell concentration ranging from 10 to 1×105 cells mL−1, with a low detection limit of 3 cell mL−1 (S/N = 3). The dual Z-scheme α-Fe2O3/MoS2/Bi2S3 ternary heterojunction-modified PEC aptasensor exhibited high sensitivity and excellent specificity and stability. Additionally, MCF-7 cells in human serum were determined by this PEC aptasensor, exhibiting great potential as a promising tool for clinical detection.

To achieve high sensitivity for biomolecule detection in photoelectrochemical (PEC) bioanalysis, the ideal photoelectrode and ingenious signaling mechanism play crucial roles. Herein, the feasibility of the photogenerated hole-induced chemical–chemical redox cycling amplification strategy on a Z-scheme heterostructure photoelectrode was validated, and the strategy toward enhanced multiple signal amplification for advanced PEC immunoassay application was developed. Specifically, a direct Z-scheme Bi2S3/Bi2MoO6 heterostructure was synthesized via a classic hydrothermal method and served as a photoelectrode for the signal response. Under the illumination, the PEC chemical–chemical redox cycling (PECCC) among 4-aminophenol generated by the enzymatic catalysis from a sandwich immunoassay, ferrocene as a mediator, and tris (2-carboxyethyl) phosphine as a reducing agent was run on the Z-scheme Bi2S3/Bi2MoO6 heterostructure photoelectrode. Exemplified by interleukin-6 (IL-6) as the target, the applicability of the strategy was studied in a PEC immunoassay. Thanks to the multiple signal amplification originating from the high efficiency of the PECCC redox cycling system, the enzymatic amplification, and the fine performance of the Z-scheme Bi2S3/Bi2MoO6 heterostructure photoelectrode, the assay for IL-6 exhibits a very low detection limit of 2.0 × 10–14 g/mL with a linear range from 5.0 × 10–14 to 1.0 × 10–8 g/mL. This work first validates the feasibility of the PECCC redox cycling on the Z-scheme heterostructure photoelectrode and the good performance of the strategy in PEC bioanalysis. We envision that it would provide a new prospective for highly sensitive PEC bioanalysis on the basis of a Z-scheme heterostructure.

A series of bismuth sulfide (Bi2S3) nanorods and amine-functionalized Ti-based metal–organic framework heterojunctions [denoted by Bi2S3@NH2-MIL-125(Ti)] were constructed and explored as bifunctional photocatalysts for Cr(VI) reduction and rhodamine B (RhB) degradation under visible light illumination. Compared with the individual NH2-MIL-125(Ti) and Bi2S3, the as-synthesized Bi2S3@NH2-MIL-125(Ti) photocatalyst exhibited an enhanced photocatalytic activity toward Cr(VI) and RhB owning to the synergetic effect between Bi2S3 and NH2-MIL-125(Ti). Moreover, the Bi2S3@NH2-MIL-125(Ti) heterojunctions showed increased Cr(VI) removal efficiency by adding RhB in the system. The photocatalytic mechanism was proposed based on the analysis of different scavenger for active species and electron spin resonance spectrometry. The introduction of Bi2S3 into NH2-MIL-125(Ti) can extend the light adsorption and improve the transfer and separation of photogenerated charge carriers through the Bi2S3@NH2-MIL-125(Ti) heterojunction with unique band gap structure. The synthesized Bi2S3@NH2-MIL-125(Ti) photocatalyst also exhibited good reusability and stability.

To conquer the trade-off dilemma of the nanofiltration membranes for both high permeability for water and high rejection for pollutants has long been highly concerned. In this work, TiO 2 and Bi 2 S 3 nanoparticles were evenly dispersed successively into the interlayers of Ti 3 C 2 T x nanosheets, and then filtered onto cellulose acetate support membranes. The as-obtained composite membranes exhibited a maximum water flux of 374.4 L m −2 h −1 bar −1 , and a high rejection ratio for RhB, GR, MB and BSA at 97.8–100%, apparently higher than those of the Ti 3 C 2 T x and the related membranes in literature. Such a high separation capacity was found quite stable for various dye-containing aqueous solutions, even in a high salinity environment of 5 wt% NaCl. Interestingly, 25% NaCl salt was also rejected accompanying the almost complete rejection of dye pollutants. After the filtering process, the membrane fouling of fouled Ti 3 C 2 T x /TiO 2 /Bi 2 S 3 membranes was verified quite lower than that of fouled Ti 3 C 2 T x /TiO 2 and Ti 3 C 2 T x membranes. Furthermore, the flux recovery rate of the fouled composite membrane could reach 92.1% after washing under visible light, which could be ascribed to the composition of heterojunction causing the red shift of diffuse reflectance UV–vis spectra and the narrowing of the band gap. This study provides a new idea for the preparation of highly permeable and rejective nanofiltration membranes, and lays a foundation for its high-capacity dye removal applications.

In this work, we present a highly sensitive photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensing platform for malathion (Mal) detection based on the biocatalysis-induced formation of BiOBr/Bi 2 S 3 semiconductor heterostructures (BIFBSH). Initially, a double-stranded DNA consisting of an initiator strand and the anti-Mal aptamer was immobilized on magnetic beads surface. The target Mal could competitively bind with its aptamer and liberate the initiator strand from the double-stranded DNA. Subsequently, the initiator strand triggered a hybridization chain reaction (HCR) to produce a long DNA concatemer containing the sequence of G-quadruplex structure. The DNA concatemer was then endowed with HRP-like activity via the formation of hemin/G-quadruplex complexes and binding with MnTMPyP. The HCR-synthesized HRP-mimicking DNA concatemer (HSHMDC) was employed to catalyze Na 2 S 2 O 3 conversion to H 2 S with the aid of H 2 O 2 . The generated H 2 S could react with BiOBr nanoflowers (BiOBrNFs) modified on an indium tin oxide electrode, resulting in the in situ formation of BiOBr/Bi 2 S 3 heterostructures with enhanced photoelectric conversion efficiency. The BiOBr/Bi 2 S 3 heterostructures could generate a strong photocurrent signal to indicate Mal recognition. Under the optimal conditions, a wide linear range between the Mal concentration and photocurrent intensity (0.001–1000 ng mL −1 ) and a limit of detection (LOD) as low as 0.12 pg mL −1 were achieved.

Taking advantage of nano-sized active materials, doping and self-supporting, Se-doped Bi 2 S 3 /3D carbon foam (Bi 2 S 3-x Se x /CF) is synthesized through a pyrolysing-hydrothermal-heating three-steps process. The as-synthesized Bi 2 S 3-x Se x /CF hybrid exhibits a significant improvement in electrochemical performance, showing a high specific capacity of 441.8 mAh g −1 after 100 cycles with the coulombic efficiency approximating to 100%. The special nanoneedle-like structure of Bi 2 S 3 makes for shortening ion transmission distance, minishing the mechanical stress and thus improving the electrochemical performance. And the introduction of Se can enhance the specific capacity, cycling stability and rate performance by improving of electronic conductivity and forming Se-contained inactive phase during alloying process. Furthermore, the self-supporting electrode is beneficial to simplify preparation process and reduce the loss of volume energy density . The strategy presented in this paper to improve the electrochemical performance of secondary ions battery can be also applied to other novel electrodes materials.

When internally polarized by mechanical energy, piezoelectric materials can establish polarization electric field and provide driving force for separating photogenerated carriers. Herein, S vacancies are introduced as an intermediate to make metal ions form coordination bond with F - on PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) surface, and the built-in electric field is intimately related to polarized electric field. We successfully synthesized ZnS/Bi 2 S 3 -PVDF film photocatalyst containing S vacancies (ZnS-V S /Bi 2 S 3 -PVDF). Polarized electric field on PVDF caused by ultrasonic cavitation and built-in electric field formed between ZnS-V S /Bi 2 S 3 heterojunction structure are beneficial to interfacial charge transferring. Theoretical calculation simulation demonstrate that the synergistic effect of the double electric fields is propitious to inhibit the recombination of carriers. The hydrogen evolution rate of ZnS-V S /Bi 2 S 3 -PVDF reaches 10.07 mmol h −1 g −1 . Moreover, it has excellent reversibility and facile recovery capacity. This work provides new platform for photocatalytic reduction of hydrogen evolution and is expected to contribute to clean energy production.

Fabrication of hybrid system coupling inorganic semiconductor photosensitizer with molecular catalyst provides a promising approach to achieve highly efficient CO 2 reduction into solar fuels, as the semiconductor nanomaterials can meet the prerequisites of visible-light photoresponse and high charge-separation efficiency for achieving high photocatalytic efficiency. In this work, CdS/Bi 2 S 3 heterostructures have been prepared via an ion-exchange reaction and employed as the photosensitizer to couple with tetra(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin iron(III) chloride (FeTCPP) molecular catalyst for photoreduction of CO 2 into CO and H 2 under visible-light irradiation. The sulfur vacancy in CdS surface can be reduced by the formation of CdS/Bi 2 S 3 heterostructure. The content of Bi 2 S 3 can be modulated via tailoring the ion-exchange reaction time. The resulting effect on the performace of CO 2 photoreduction has been investigated in detail. Benefiting from the enhanced separation and utilization of charge carriers, CdS/Bi 2 S 3 -0.5 h/FeTCPP hybrid catalyst exhibits 8.2 times CO yield (1.93 mmol/g/h) and 1.7 times H 2 yield (6.08 mmol/g/h) of CdS/FeTCPP hybrid catalyst. More important, the results of energy level alignment, electron spin resonance and photocatalysis indicate that electron-transfer direction can be changed once the CdS/Bi 2 S 3 heterostructure is coupled with FeTCPP. In the CdS/Bi 2 S 3 heterostructure, electrons transfer mainly from the conduction band of CdS to Bi 2 S 3 , while it is mainly from the conduction band of CdS to FeTCPP in the CdS/Bi 2 S 3 /FeTCPP hybrid.

Based on the anion exchange strategy, a novel Bi2S3/BiOCl0.1Br0.9 S-scheme heterojunction was prepared via a facile one-step low-temperature water bath method for the first time. In this process, 2D Bi2S3 nanosheets were controllably grown on the surface of a 3D hollow BiOCl0.1Br0.9 solid solution. Under visible light irradiation, the as-prepared 3BS-BCB exhibited a remarkable photocatalytic degradation efficiency of 99.67% toward rhodamine B (Rh B) within 140 min, which is approximately 3.57 times higher than that of the BiOCl0.1Br0.9 solid solution alone. The enhanced photocatalytic performance is attributed to the formation of an interfacial electric field (IEF), which accelerated the separation rate of photoinduced electron–hole pairs and coupled the strong redox ability of both the semiconductors. Moreover, the photosensitive effect of Bi2S3 extended its light absorption range, increasing the yield of photogenerated charge carriers. Such thermodynamic and kinetic compatibility is the fundamental reason for the enhanced photocatalytic efficiency. This study provides new insights into the design of S-scheme heterojunction photocatalysts with visible light response and high redox ability based on wide-band gap semiconductors.

Fumonisin B 1 (FB 1 ) is a mycotoxin mainly found in corn, peanuts, and wheat crops, which affects human health. Based on bismuth sulfide/bismuth oxychloride (Bi 2 S 3 /BiOCl) composite material, silver sulfide (Ag 2 S) was grown in situ as a quantum dot sensitization signal, and a photoelectrochemical (PEC) aptasensor was designed by layer upon layer modification to detect FB 1 . Bi 2 S 3 /BiOCl has a wide range of visible light absorption, stable chemical properties, and a simple synthesis method. In the construction process, L-ascorbic acid (AA) is selected to provide electrons and inhibit photogenerated electron-hole (e - /h + ) recombination. Under the optimal experimental conditions, the detection range of the fabricated PEC aptasensor was 0.001 ~ 100 ng/mL, and the detection limit was 0.016 pg/mL. The prepared PEC aptasensor has high sensitivity, stability, and reproducibility. The combination of aptamer and PEC sensor provides a novel method for the application of PEC sensor in mycotoxin detection. Graphical

A novel photoelectrochemical (PEC) cytosensor for the ultrasensitive detection of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) was developed. The bio-inspired reduced graphene oxide (rGO) honeycomb film photoelectrode was fabricated via a “breath figure” method, followed by the self-assembly of a Bi2S3–MoS2 heterojunction. The resulting Bi2S3–MoS2 heterojunction-modified rGO honeycomb film was employed as a sensing matrix for the first time. Compared to the smooth rGO film, the significant enhanced photocurrent of the photoelectrode under visible light was attributed to its improved visible light absorption, increased surface area and enhanced separation efficiency of photo-generated electron–hole pairs, which met the requirements of the PEC sensor for detecting larger targets. By virtue of the photocurrent decrease due to the steric hindrance of MCF-7 cells, which were captured by an aptamer immobilized on the surface of the photoelectrode, a cytosensor for detecting CTCs was achieved, showing a wide linear range of 10–1 × 105 cells per mL and a low detection limit of 2 cells per mL. Furthermore, MCF-7 cells in human serum were determined by this PEC biosensor, exhibiting great potential in the clinical detection of CTCs.

The unique properties of MOFs make them the best candidates for catalytic and photocatalytic applications. In this research, the NH 2 -UiO-66 material was prepared by solvothermal method , and different content of NH 2 -UiO-66 was added before the composite growth of Bi 2 S 3 and BiOBr nanomaterials to obtain the NH 2 -UiO-66/BiOBr/Bi 2 S 3 ternary composite material. In order to investigate the relationship between the structure and properties of the catalyst, XRD , FT-IR, SEM , HRTEM , UV–vis DRS, XPS and other characterization technologies were used to analyze the structure, morphology, optical properties of the samples, showing that NH 2 -UiO-66/BiOBr/Bi 2 S 3 have been successfully synthesized. Their photocatalytic performance was evaluated based on the photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride and rhodamine B under visible light . The results show that 2% NH 2 -UiO-66/BiOBr/Bi 2 S 3 has better photocatalytic activity than other materials. Moreover, NH 2 -UiO-66/BiOBr/Bi 2 S 3 also demonstrated good photocatalytic reusability and stability. The formation of Bi 2 S 3 and BiOBr heterojunctions and the introduction of NH 2 -UiO-66 with more active sites increase the carrier performance and separation efficiency. Then the valence band and conduction band values of the semiconductor material are calculated through the M-S curve, combined with the forbidden bandwidth deduced by UV–vis DRS and the experimental results of radical trapping, a double Z-type electron transfer mechanism suitable for this system is inferred. Finally, taking RhB as an example, the degradation path of dye pollutants was studied.
