In this work, we designed new dual-mode "turn-on" electrochemical (EC) and photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensors for the detection of dopamine (DA) based on 0D/2D/2D CuInS/ZnS quantum dot (QD)-black phosphorous nanosheet (BPNS)-TiO nanosheet (TiONS) nanocomposites. QDs can not only improve the photocurrent of the developed PEC sensors, but also provide the electrochemical signal in the EC detection. BPNSs as p-type semiconductor with high conductive properties work as electron acceptors and are utilized to improve the sensitivity of the DA PEC and EC sensors. Under irradiation of visible light or the applied voltage, DA is both excited and releases electrons, realizing "turn-on" detection. The PEC sensors have a linear range of 0.1-100 μM with a lower detection limit of 0.028 μM. For the EC detection, BPNSs can accelerate electron transfer which attribute to its excellent conductivity. In the range of 1-200 μM, the working curve of DA detection by the EC sensors was established and the detection limit is 0.88 μM. Comparing the two methods, the PEC sensors have a lower detection limit, and the EC sensors have a wider monitoring range. The dual-mode sensors of EC and PEC pave an effective way for the detection in biological and medical fields.

Chlorpyrifos (CPF), a widely used organophosphorus pesticide, presents substantial risks to both environmental and human health due to its persistent accumulation, thereby necessitating the development of effective detection methods. Self-powered photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensors, as an innovative technology, address the limitations inherent in conventional sensors, such as susceptibility to interference and inadequate signal response. Herein, we synthesized AgS/BiOCl as a photosensitive material, employing it as a light-harvesting substrate and a signal-transducing platform to develop a self-powered PEC sensor for the detection of CPF.

A more efficient signal amplification strategy is needed to improve the performance of promising photoelectrochemical sensors (PEC). Organic photoelectrochemical transistor (OPECT) sensors are of growing interest in many fields, but their potential has not yet been widely exploited and remains a challenge. In this study, a novel organic photoelectrochemical transistor aptamer (OPECT) biosensor combining photoelectrochemical analysis and organic electrochemical transistor with AgI-TiO (AgI-TNs) as photoreactive material and target-specific DNA chain reaction hybridization as signal amplifier for microcystin-LR detection was developed.

An ultra-sensitive photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensor for amyloid-beta 40 (Aβ40), a biomarker for Alzheimer's disease (AD), was developed using g-C₃N₄ modified with gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) to form Au-C₃N₄. This was further combined with TiO₂ to create a tightly bonded TiO₂/Au-C₃N₄ heterojunction, leading to a highly responsive photocatalytic process. Furthermore, the incorporation of noble metal Au NPs not only enhances photocurrent generation but also securely immobilizes the aptamer through Au-S bonds, providing additional surface binding sites.
