In the present work, a double photoelectrode system has been constructed for photoelectrochemically driven enzymatic bioconversion and determination of nifedipine. In which, the TiO nanotube arrays in-situ assembled with g-CN (TNA/g-CN) was used as a photoanode, and a cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) enzyme was immobilized in the porous ITO/CuO films to fabricate an ITO/CuO/CYP3A4 photocathode. The constructed double photoelectrode system had a significant photocurrent response compared to the single ITO/CuO/CYP3A4 or TNA/g-CN under visible light irradiation. Under optimal conditions, the photocurrent of the double photoelectrode system had a high catalytic activity toward substrate nifedipine with k of 5.62 s and catalytic efficiency with k/k of 0.94 μM s, and the bioconversion yield of nifedipine reached 22.1%. Furthermore, the constructed double photoelectrode system could be used to determine the nifedipine concentration with a high sensitivity of 2.46 μA μM and a low detection limit of 0.015 μM. Therefore, the proposed double photoelectrode system can be used well for study enzyme biocatalysis for target bioconversion, and also has a potential application for toxicity analysis.

Photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting has attracted significant interest as a promising approach for producing clean and sustainable hydrogen fuel. An efficient photoanode is critical for enhancing PEC water splitting. Bismuth vanadate (BiVO) is a widely recognized photoanode for PEC applications due to its visible light absorption, suitable valence band position for water oxidation, and outstanding potential for modifications.

WO/Ag/TiO composite photoelectrodes were formed via the high-temperature calcination of a WO film, followed by the sputtering of a very thin silver film and deposition of an overlayer of commercial TiO nanoparticles. These synthetic photoanodes were characterized in view of the oxidation of a model organic compound glucose combined with the generation of hydrogen at a platinum cathode. During prolonged photoelectrolysis under simulated solar light, these photoanodes demonstrated high and stable photocurrents of ca.

Atomic-layer-deposited (ALD) "leaky" TiO has gained interest as a charge-selective protection layer for semiconductor solar fuel electrodes. Here, the use of sputter-deposited TiO layers as hole-selective contacts for WO/CuWO type-2 heterojunction water oxidation photoanodes is demonstrated for the first time. TiO protection layers with varying thicknesses (2 to 128 nm) were deposited by using the radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering technique.

Efficient photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting systems in photoelectrodes are primarily challenged by electron-hole pair recombination. Constructing a heterostructure is an effective strategy to overcome this issue and to enhance PEC efficiency. In this study, we integrated NiMoO, known for its proper electrocatalytic conductivity, into a BiVO/Sn-doped WO heterojunction using solution-based hydrothermal and spin-coating methods, forming an innovative double heterojunction concept.

The C-C bond cleavage of biomass-derived glycerol to generate value-added C1 products remains challenging owing to its slow kinetics. We propose a surface fluorination strategy to construct dynamic dual hydrogen bonds on a semiconducting BiVO photoelectrode to overcome the kinetic limit of the oxidation of glycerol to produce formic acid (FA) in acidic media. Intensive spectroscopic characterizations confirm that double hydrogen bonds are formed by the interaction of the F-Bi-F sites of modified BiVO with water molecules, and the unique structure promotes the generation of hydroxyl radicals under light irradiation, which accelerates the kinetics of C-C bond cleavage.
