A photoelectrochemical (PEC) immunosensor based on MIL-101(Cr) and CdTe-QDs composites (M&C) was successfully synthesized to assay the carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) in human serum and urine samples. This novel method contained three key aspects: 1), the polarity of the photocurrent based on MIL-101(Cr) itself could be altered by applying a different voltage to detect the cathode and anode photocurrent. 2), the introduction of cadmium telluride quantum dots (CdTe-QDs) greatly improved the efficiency of light utilization. 3), the photogenerated electron-hole-pairs were suppressed and their separation efficiency was improved by effective matching of energy level between MIL-101(Cr) and CdTe-QDs. Due to the inherent insulating properties of the biological matrix, the transfer of photogenerated electrons was hindered, leading to a decreased photocurrent signal. Under the optimal condition, the anodic and cathodic detection limit of the PEC immunosensor for CEA was 0.00018 ng mL and 0.00023 ng mL, respectively. The linear range was 0.0001-10 ng mL. The developed PEC immunosensor showed acceptable stability and sensitivity for the analysis of human serum and urine samples. For future perspective, using PEC and 3D-printing technology, a small PEC detector was designed with the potential to detect tumor markers.

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.

Myoglobin (Mb), an important cardiac marker, plays a crucial role in diagnosing, monitoring, and evaluating the condition of patients with cardiovascular diseases. Here, we propose a label-free photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor for the detection of Mb through target regulated the photoactivity of AgS/FeOOH heterojunction. The AgS/FeOOH nanospindles were synthesized and served as a sensing platform for the fabrication of bio-recognized process for Mb.

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.
