Biosensor working in a self-powered mode has been widely concerned because it produces a signal when the bias potential is 0 V. However, the self-powered mode is used only when the materials have self-powered properties. Conversion of non-self-powered to self-powered through molecular regulation can solve this problem effectively. Here, we fabricated a self-powered photoelectrochemical mode based on co-regulation of electron acceptors methylene blue (MB) and -nitrophenol (-NP). AuNPs@ZnSe nanosheet-modified gold electrode (AuNPs@ZnSeNSs/GE) gave a small photocurrent at 0 V. In the presence of MB and -NP, AuNPs@ZnSeNSs/GE gave the strongest photocurrent at 0 V. Accordingly, an electron acceptor co-regulated self-powered photoelectrochemical assay was fabricated. As proof-of-concept demonstrations, this assay was applied for prostate cancer circulating tumor nucleic acid biomarker, and , detection combined with in situ recombinase polymerase amplification strategy. This assay generated a strong photocurrent and was sensitive to the variation of and concentration. The limits of detection were 30 and 32 aM, respectively. We anticipate this electron acceptor co-regulated self-powered photoelectrochemical mode to pave a new way for the development of self-powered sensing.

To advance the biological understanding of heat shock protein (HSP) in different types of cancers, it is crucial to achieve its accurate determination. Herein, a dual-mode self-powered photoelectrochemical (PEC) and colorimetric platform was proposed by integrating enzymatic catalysis and a chemical redox cycling amplification strategy. In this system, ascorbic acid (AA), as the signal reporter for PEC and colorimetric assay, can be regenerated during the tris(2-carboxyethyl) phosphine-mediated chemical redox cycling process.

Photoelectrochemical photodetectors (PEC PDs) are promising in underwater optoelectronic devices because of their low cost, good sensitivity, and self-powered characteristics. However, achieving high-performance omnidirectional visible PEC PDs using seawater as the electrolyte is still challenging, hindering their practical application. This work successfully synthesized CuO nanobelt arrays (NAs) on a linear copper wire via a low-temperature solution method with an annealing process.

The concept of self-powered photodetectors has attracted significant attention due to their versatile applications in areas such as intelligent systems and hazardous substance detection. Among these, junction and Schottky junction photodetectors are the most widely studied types; however, their fabrication processes are often complex and costly. To overcome these challenges, we focused on the emerging self-powered, ultrasensitive photodetector platform based on photoelectrochemical (PEC) principles.
