Copper is one of the extensively utilized heavy metals in modern industry and can be easily released into the environment due to high solubility of copper ions (Cu). Its percolation in water and accumulation along the food chain pose a serious threat to human health. Hence, it is of great significance to explore a novel, facile, and sensitive detection method for Cu. Based on the intriguing photo-to-electricity conversion process of CdS QDs, as well as desirable electrochromic property of WO NFs, a dual-modal photoelectrochemical (PEC) and visualized detection platform for Cu is fabricated. The electrochromic WO NFs act as a display for the Cu concentration, of which the color change could be observed directly by the naked eye, while the PEC signal provides accurate data for further analysis. In this work, a sensitive detection of Cu in the range of 1 × 10 to 5 × 10 M is achieved, with a detection limit of 3.2 × 10 M. The dual-modal analysis gives more choices for signal readouts with enhanced quantification reliability, which is adaptive for diverse application scenarios, especially for on-site investigation. This protocol offers a prototype for quick and reliable detection of the Cu concentrations, and is promising for other environmental pollutants.

In this study, a dual-mode biosensor based on the heterojunction of CuO@CuS/D-TA COF was constructed for ultra-sensitive detection of Hg using both photoelectrochemical and electrochemical approaches. Briefly, a 2D ultra-thin covalent organic framework film (D-TA COF film) with excellent photoelectrochemical signals was prepared on ITO surfaces through an in situ growth method. Subsequently, the probe H1 was immobilized onto the biosensor via Au-S bonds.

Background: As one of the most potent environmental estrogens, 17β-estradiol (E2), which can be enriched into organisms through the food chain and cause harmful biological effects in humans, has been frequently detected in the water environment of the world. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and gas chromatograohy-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) have been widely used for quantification of E2. Despite excellent accuracy, tedious pretreatment and expensive instruments result in their limited application.
