Article Abstract

Based on the necessity and urgency of detecting infectious disease marker procalcitonin (PCT), a novel unlabeled photoelectrochemical (PEC) immunosensor was prepared for the rapid and sensitive detection of PCT. Firstly, SnO porous nanoflowers with good photocatalytic performance were prepared by combining hydrothermal synthesis and calcining. BiOI nanoflowers were synthesized by facile ultrasonic mixed reaction. AgS quantum dots were deposited on SnO/BiOI composites by in situ growth method. The SnO/BiOI/AgS composites with excellent photoelectric properties were employed as substrate material, which could provide significantly enhanced and stable signal because of the energy level matching of SnO, BiOI and AgS and the good light absorption performance. Accordingly, a PEC immunosensor based on SnO/BiOI/AgS was constructed by using the layered modification method to achieve high sensitivity analysis of PCT. The linear dynamic range of the detection method was 0.50 pg·mL~100 ng·mL, and the detection limit was 0.14 pg·mL. In addition, the designed PEC immunosensor exhibited satisfactory sensitivity, selectivity, stability and repeatability, which opened up a new avenue for the analyzation of PCT and further provided guidance for antibiotic therapy.

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.
