Abstract
This study proposes the development of a new photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor for the determination of dopamine (DA) at nanomolar levels. The PEC sensor was based on a physical mixture of bismuth vanadate (BiVO4) with nanocomposite molecularly imprinted poly(acrylic acid) (MIP-AA) grafted onto MWCNTox by using the surface-controlled radical polymerization strategy with an INIFERTER reagent. XRD, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRE), SEM, TEM, and TGA were employed to characterize the materials. Photoelectrochemical analyses were carried out with GCE/BiVO4/MIP-AA sensor under visible light using a potential of 0.6 V, phosphate buffer (0.1 mol L-1) at pH 7.0, and modifying the GCE with a film composed of monoclinic BiVO4 at 3.5 mg mL-1 and nanocomposite MIP prepared with acrylic acid (MIP-AA) at 0.1 mg mL-1. The proposed method using the GCE/BiVO4/MIP-AA sensor presented a limit of detection (LOD) of 2.9 nmol L-1, a linear range from 9.7 to 150 nmol L-1 and it was successfully applied for analysis of DA in urine samples using external calibration curve yielding recovery values of 90-105%. Additionally, the proposed PEC sensor allowed DA determination without interference from uric acid, ascorbic acid, epinephrine, norepinephrine, and other unwanted interferences.

Olejnik A, Polaczek K, Szkodo M, Stanisławska A, Ryl J, Siuzdak K. Laser-Induced Graphitization of Polydopamine on Titania Nanotubes. ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES 2023; 15. [PMID: 37915241 PMCID: PMC10658452 DOI: 10.1021/acsami.3c11580] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2023] [Revised: 10/17/2023] [Accepted: 10/17/2023] [Indexed: 11/03/2023]
Abstract
Since the discovery of laser-induced graphite/graphene, there has been a notable surge of scientific interest in advancing diverse methodologies for their synthesis and applications. This study focuses on the utilization of a pulsed Nd:YAG laser to achieve graphitization of polydopamine (PDA) deposited on the surface of titania nanotubes. The partial graphitization is corroborated through Raman and XPS spectroscopies and supported by water contact angle, nanomechanical, and electrochemical measurements. Reactive molecular dynamics simulations confirm the possibility of graphitization in the nanosecond time scale with the evolution of NH3, H2O, and CO2 gases. A thorough exploration of the lasing parameter space (wavelength, pulse energy, and number of pulses) was conducted with the aim of improving either electrochemical activity or photocurrent generation. Whereas the 532 nm laser pulses interacted mostly with the PDA coating, the 365 nm pulses were absorbed by both PDA and the substrate nanotubes, leading to a higher graphitization degree. The majority of the photocurrent and quantum efficiency enhancement is observed in the visible light between 400 and 550 nm. The proposed composite is applied as a photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor of serotonin in nanomolar concentrations. Because of the suppressed recombination and facilitated charge transfer caused by the laser graphitization, the proposed composite exhibits significantly enhanced PEC performance. In the sensing application, it showed superior sensitivity and a limit of detection competitive with nonprecious metal materials.

Li R, Wang C, Wang Y, Chen J, Yang Y, Li C, Xie Y, Zhao P, Fei J. A novel photoelectrochemical sensor based on flower-like SnS 2, sea urchin-like AgBiS 2 and graphene oxide nanocomposite film for efficient and sensitive detection of acetaminophen in lake water samples. Anal Chim Acta 2023; 1239:340681. [PMID: 36628707 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2022.340681] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2022] [Revised: 11/19/2022] [Accepted: 11/27/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022]
Abstract
As an emerging detection technology, photoelectrochemical sensors have been widely noticed for their unique technical features. Among others, the technology has been widely used in the fields of drug, biological antibody or antigen and contaminant detection. Secondly, acetaminophen, as a novel environmental pollutant, is difficult to be degraded in the ecosystem, which in turn causes serious impacts on the ecosystem. Therefore, in this work, we designed a photoelectrochemical sensor based on a composite film of flower-like SnS2, sea urchin-like AgBiS2 and graphene oxide for the detection of acetaminophen in water samples. Among them, graphene oxide, as a two-dimensional carbon-based material, can immobilize other photoelectric materials well. In addition, the flower-like SnS2 and sea urchin-like AgBiS2 can enhance the intensity of the photoelectric response due to their synergistic effect. Notably, the combination of graphene oxide with SnS2 and AgBiS2 revealed an exponential increase in the photoresponse intensity, indicating that SnS2/AgBiS2/GO has a satisfactory photoresponse intensity. At the same time, the photoelectrochemical sensor exhibited sensitive detection performance (LOD = 4 nM) and a wide detection range (0.01-50 μM) for acetaminophen under optimal detection conditions. Moreover, it also showed excellent detection performance in the detection of actual water samples, indicating that it can be applied to the detection of acetaminophen in lakes.

Visible Light Photoelectrochemical Sensor for Dopamine: Determination Using Iron Vanadate Modified Electrode. Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27196410. [PMID: 36234946 PMCID: PMC9572152 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27196410] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2022] [Revised: 09/23/2022] [Accepted: 09/26/2022] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
This study reports a facile approach for constructing low-cost and remarkable electroactivity iron vanadate (Fe-V-O) semiconductor material to be used as a photoelectrochemical sensor for dopamine detection. The structure and morphology of the iron vanadate obtained by the Successive Ionic Adsorption and Reaction process were critically characterized, and the photoelectrochemical characterization showed a high photoelectroactivity of the photoanode in visible light irradiation. Under best conditions, dopamine was detected by chronoamperometry at +0.35 V vs. Ag/AgCl, achieving two linear response ranges (between 1.21 and 30.32 μmol L−1, and between 30.32 and 72.77 μmol L−1). The limits of detection and quantification were 0.34 and 1.12 μmol L−1, respectively. Besides, the accuracy of the proposed electrode was assessed by determining dopamine in artificial cerebrospinal fluid, obtaining recovery values ranging from 98.7 to 102.4%. The selectivity was also evaluated by dopamine detection against several interferent species, demonstrating good precision and promising application for the proposed method. Furthermore, DFT-based electronic structure calculations were also conducted to help the interpretation. The dominant dopamine species were determined according to the experimental conditions, and their interaction with the iron vanadate photoanode was proposed. The improved light-induced DOP detection was likewise evaluated regarding the charge transfer process.

Morphology Effect of Bismuth Vanadate on Electrochemical Sensing for the Detection of Paracetamol. NANOMATERIALS 2022; 12:nano12071173. [PMID: 35407291 PMCID: PMC9000780 DOI: 10.3390/nano12071173] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2022] [Revised: 03/22/2022] [Accepted: 03/28/2022] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Morphology-control, as a promising and effective strategy, is widely implemented to change surface atomic active sites and thus enhance the intrinsic electrocatalytic activity and selectivity. As a typical n-type semiconductor, a series of bismuth vanadate samples with tunable morphologies of clavate, fusiform, flowered, bulky, and nanoparticles were prepared to investigate the morphology effect. Among all the synthesized samples, the clavate shaped BiVO4 with high index facets of (112), (301), and (200) exhibited reduced extrinsic pseudocapacitance and enhanced redox response, which is beneficial for tackling the sluggish voltammetric response of the traditional nanoparticle on the electrode surface. Benefiting from the large surface-active area and favorable ion diffusion channels, the clavate shaped BiVO4 exhibited the best electrochemical sensing performance for paracetamol with a linear response in the range of 0.5–100 µmol and a low detection limit of 0.2 µmol. The enhanced electrochemical detection of paracetamol by bismuth vanadate nanomaterials with controllable shapes indicates their potential for applications as electrochemical sensors.
