This study describes the construction of highly-sensitive photo-electrochemical (PEC) immunosensor for the detection of neuron-specific enolase (NSE). The biosensing platform is comprised of photo-active NiWO nanostructures, in-situ-grown over a conductive substrate (indium tin oxide) using a low-temperature template-based co-precipitation approach. The discussed approach enables the formation of discrete, yet morphologically-analogous, nanostructures with complete coverage (pinhole-free) of the electrode surface. The in-situ-grown nanostructure possess dense population with sharp saw-blade like morphological features that can support substantial immobilisation of anti-NSE agent. The constructed platform demonstrated excellent photo-catalytic activity towards uric acid (UA) which served as the base for the Electrochemical -mechanism (EC) based PEC inhibition sensing. The detection of NSE, relied on its obstruction in analytical signal observed for the photo-oxidation of UA after binding to the electrode surface via protein-antibody interaction. The constructed PEC immunosensor exhibits signal sensitivity up to 0.12 ng mL of NSE with excellent signal reproducibility and electrode replicability. Moreover, the constructed platform was successfully used for NSE determination in human serum samples.

A photocurrent enhancing photoelectrochemical (PEC) immunosensor was developed for chloramphenicol (CAP) detection based on cation exchange reaction. The efficient split-type PEC immunosensor combined with controlled-release strategy was established using the ZnInS/TiO/TiC MXene (ZIS/T/M) composite as the photoactive material and CuO as the signal response probe. In the presence of target CAP, CuO-labeled CAP antibody (CuO-mAb) was introduced onto the microplate via a competitive-type immunoassay.

Background: Designing heterojunctions with efficient electron-hole separation holds great promise for improving photoelectric response.
Results: Herein, we reported a multifunctional Pt co-catalyst-modified BiOS nanoflowers (BOS NFs) photocatalytic component for achieving an efficient photoelectric chemistry (PEC) immunosensor for alpha-fetoprotein (AFP). Briefly, the Pt co-catalyst improved the intrinsic band gap structure of BOS on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was able to achieve a rapid decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to hydroxyl radicals, which led to the improvement of electrochemical half-responses during the amplification of target immunosignals.

Here, a photoelectrochemical (PEC) immunosensor based on the FJU-200@CdSe heterostructure was developed for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) detection. This is the first application of FJU-200 in PEC. After modification using CdSe quantum dots (QDs), FJU-200 and CdSe QDs formed an S-scheme heterostructure due to the interleaved energy band structure and the difference in Fermi energy (Ef) levels, which generated an efficient and stable PEC signal.

The overexpression of interleukin-17A (IL-17A) is closely associated with the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases and cancer, rendering precise identification of IL-17A level critical for disease diagnosis and prognosis monitoring. In this study, CsPbBr nanoclusters (NCs) were embedded in CHBrOPb organometallic compound (Pb-MA MOC) via a hot injection approach. Through this way, the issue of CsPbBr NCs susceptible to decomposition in water was solved, and the photocurrent intensity that is generated by CsPbBr was significantly enhanced.

The ideal photoelectrode and efficient signaling strategy are pivotal to achieve sensitive photoelectrochemical (PEC) analysis. Here, a multipath collaborative signal amplification-based PEC immunosensor was constructed for the ultrasensitive detection of cytokeratin 19 fragment 21-1. Specifically, the photoelectrode fabricated by Z-scheme InO/g-CN heterojunction showed enhanced photocurrent intensity in response to visible light.
