We report here a facile synthesis of ZnS/CdS heterojunction nanoparticles on an indium-tin oxide (ITO) electrode and their application in the ultrasensitive photoelectrochemical detection of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). The ZnS/CdS/ITO electrode was prepared using one-pot electrodeposition in an acidic solution containing ZnCl2, CdCl2 and Na2S2O3. The optimal ZnS/CdS heterojunction nanoparticles with a Zn/Cd atomic ratio of 1 : 1 showed a high photoelectrochemical response to l-cysteine. l-Cysteine-encapsulated liposome (cysteine@liposome) immunonanocapsules were prepared and used as the labels for photoelectrochemical detection of S. aureus. By coupling cysteine@liposome immunonanocapsule labeling with immunomagnetic separation/enrichment and photoelectrochemical analysis using the ZnS/CdS/ITO electrode, sensitive photoelectrochemical detection of S. aureus was achieved. Under optimal conditions, the linear range for photoelectrochemical detection of S. aureus was from 1 to 4000 CFU mL-1. The proposed method was successfully used for photoelectrochemical detection of S. aureus in milk and juice samples.

The early diagnosis of a disease relies on the reliable identification and quantitation of multiple core biomarkers in real-time point-of-care (POC) testing. To date, most of the multiplex photoelectrochemical (PEC) assays are inaccessible to home healthcare due to cumbersome steps, long testing time, and limited detection efficiency. The rapid and fast-response generation of independent photocurrent for multiple targets is still a great challenge.

Photoelectrochemical (PEC) immunosensors are highly promising tools for monitoring biochemical molecules. Constructing high-performance heterojunctions is a general method to improve the sensitivity of PEC immunosensors. The internal electric field (IEF) formed at the heterojunction interface plays a crucial role in coordinating the separation of photogenerated carriers.

A key issue in photoelectrochemical applications is the modification of the behavior of photogenerated charge barriers. An effective strategy to improve the photoelectrochemical performance of semiconductor materials is to use the facet effect to promote spatial charge separation. In this work, three different morphologies of lead chromate (PbCrO) crystals are prepared by a simple hydrothermal method that used ammonium fluoride as the structure-directing agents.

A label-free photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor for detecting theophylline (TP) was exploited based on electrodes modified with a nanocomposite of polydopamine nanospheres (PDSs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). PDS particles were prepared by oxidative autopolymerization, and their reducibility was utilized in one step to reduce the gold nanoparticles . The AuNPs-PDS/ZnS PEC sensor was constructed by electrochemical deposition and drop coating.

The multiple exciton generation (MEG) effect, which produces multiple photo-generated charge carriers from a single high-energy photon absorption by a semiconductor with a narrow bandgap, has the potential to revolutionize photovoltaic, photoelectric detection, and other technologies. Here, this work finds that the surface carbon-modified wide-bandgap photoanode with hierarchical quantum structure can drive a photoelectrochemical reaction with a quantum efficiency exceeding 145% by the first time. More studies reveal that the presence of the MEG effect in the MEG-CdS photoanode is attributed to the formation of high-quality surface C-modified CdS quantum nanosheets on CdS bulk film by in situ, this hierarchical quantum structure leads to quantum confinement effects that increase effective Coulomb interaction for driving MEG and decrease competition for thermal exciton cooling.
