Photosensitizers and photothermal agents have attracted increasing attention for in vitro diagnosis, but the combination remains challenging. Herein, a light-driven photocatalytic-photothermal synergetic system integrated microfluidic distance-based analytical device (PCPT-μDAD) for visual, portable, sensitive, and quantitative detection of targets was developed. Target DNA was recognized and initiated the hybridization chain reaction to form a double-stranded DNA/SYBR Green I (dsDNA/SG-I) complex. By applying the photosensitization of the dsDNA/SG-I complex and the photothermal effect of oxidized 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine, the target concentration can effectively translate into a visual distance signal readout. Importantly, the light-driven PCPT-μDAD greatly improves the controllability of catalytic reactions and signal amplification efficiency. The light-driven PCPT-μDAD shows a low limit of detection (fM level), good stability, and high reproducibility for nucleic acid detection.

The rapid emergence of superbugs which are resistant to existing antibiotics is becoming a huge global threat to public health, which demands the discovery of next-generation antibacterial agents for combating superbugs. Herein, we report the design of a two-dimensional (2D) reduced graphene oxide (r-GO) and one-dimensional (1D) WO nanowire-based photothermal-photocatalytic heterostructure for combating multiantibiotic-resistant DT104, carbapenem-resistant , and methicillin-resistant superbugs. In the presence of near-infrared (NIR) light, due to the generation of electrons and holes, the WO-based heterostructure generates reactive oxygen species by photocatalytic reaction from water and oxygen, which kills superbugs.

Plasma Cu-decorated TiO/CoP particle-level hierarchical heterojunction photocatalysts with surface engineering were fabricated through solvothermal and solid phase reduction strategies. The CoP nanoparticles not only serve as a cost-effective cocatalyst but also provide abundant surface active sites, which facilitate rapid transfer of photogenerated carriers. The Ti and oxygen vacancy defects extend photoresponse from UV to visible light region, and enhance the separation efficiency of photogenerated carriers efficiently.
