Abstract
A photocurrent-polarity-switching photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensor was developed for the ultrasensitive detection of tobramycin (TOB) through bipedal DNA walker amplification with hemin-induced photocurrent-polarity-switching using a laser-induced zinc oxide/graphene (ZnO/LIG) photoelectrode. Specifically, the ZnO/LIG photoelectrode was synthesized in situ by a laser direct writing (LDW) technique. In the presence of TOB, it reacted with HP1 and HP2 and the DNA walker response was activated to form a stable hemin/G-quadruplex. Furthermore, hemin induced a polarity shift in the photocurrent signal. The developed analytical platform exhibited excellent photoelectron transport performance of ZnO/LIG, the signal amplification effect of the DNA walker strategy, and the photocurrent-polarity-switching ability of hemin. Therefore, it demonstrated satisfying photocurrent responses to the target TOB within the working range of 20 nM-1.0 μM at a low detection limit of 5.43 nM. The PEC platform exhibited good stability, reproducibility, sufficient sensitivity and high selectivity for complex experimental samples. Moreover, the photocurrent-polarity-switching PEC biosensor improved the anti-interference ability and avoided false positives or negatives.

Abstract
Point-of-care testing (POCT) technology is urgently required owing to the prevalence of the Internet of Things and portable electronics. In light of the attractive properties of low background and high sensitivity caused by the complete separation of excitation source and detection signal, the paper-based photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensors, featured with fast in analysis, disposable and environmental-friendly have become one of the most promising strategies in POCT. Therefore, in this review, the latest advances and principal issues in the design and fabrication of portable paper-based PEC sensors for POCT are systematically discussed. Primarily, the flexible electronic devices that can be constructed by paper and the reasons why they can be used in PEC sensors are expounded. Afterwards, the photosensitive materials involved in paper-based PEC sensor and the signal amplification strategies are emphatically introduced. Subsequently, the application of paper-based PEC sensors in medical diagnosis, environmental monitoring and food safety are further discussed. Finally, the main opportunities and challenges of paper-based PEC sensing platforms for POCT are briefly summarized. It provides a distinct perspective for researchers to construct paper-based PEC sensors with portable and cost-effective, hoping to enlighten the fast development of POCT soon after, as well as benefit human society.
