Abstract
Conventional N-type semiconductor-based photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensors are difficult to achieve high selectivity for ascorbic acid (AA) detection in real samples because co-existing reducing agents act as hole sacrificial agents like AA to promote the increase of photocurrent. Cerium dioxide (CeO2) is a superoxide dismutase-like nanozyme with the reversible Ce3+/Ce4+ redox pair as well as one of alternative N-type semiconductors. To address the problem of PEC detection selectivity of AA, bifunctional CeO2 is a good choice. Herein, a novel and rational PEC biosensor for AA is constructed based on CeO2 hollow spheres as both AA superoxide dismutase-like nanozyme and the photoelectric beacon, which enable the PEC approach with high selectivity. In this protocol, AA can selectively induce a decrease in the CeO2-based photoanode current, which is significantly different from the conventional N-type semiconductor-based PEC sensor, this unique working mechanism is also proposed. The results show that the CeO2-based photocurrent response decreases linearly with AA concentrations in the ranges of 1 μM-600 μM and 600 μM-3000 μM, with a limit of detection of 0.33 μM. Moreover, the fabricated PEC biosensor has advantages of cost-effectiveness, replicability, and stability. Additionally, the sensor is competent for AA determination in practical settings and has achieved satisfactory results.

Abstract
Ascorbic acid (AA), which plays a vital role in the metabolism of the human body, is closely correlated with various diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, scurvy, Parkinson's disease, urinary stones, and diarrhea. The detection of AA is of great significance for early prevention and diagnosis of related diseases. In this paper, a high-performance photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor was constructed based on cadmium sulfide-gold (CdS-Au) composite nanomaterials for ultrasensitive ascorbic acid (AA) detection. Due to the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), the PEC performance of CdS-Au composite nanomaterials was significantly improved compared to CdS semiconductor nanomaterials. Under the optimal conditions, the AA concentration was linearly related to the photocurrent signal in the range of 0.01 μM-200 μM, with the detection limit being 0.2 nM (S/N = 3) and the sensitivity being 642.9 μA mM-1 cm-2. In addition, the mechanism of the PEC sensor based on CdS-Au composite nanomaterials for ultrasensitive AA detection was discussed. Lastly, the self-constructed PEC sensors have been successfully applied in detecting AA in vitamin C tablets and actual blood samples, meeting the detection criteria required by the Chinese Pharmacopoeia (CP, 2020 edition). The self-fabricated PEC sensors in this paper are expected to be used for quality assessment of AA-related drugs and diagnosis of relevant diseases.

[PMID: 38312719 PMCID: PMC10836330 DOI: 10.1039/d3ra08288a] [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: 12/05/2023] [Accepted: 01/17/2024] [Indexed: 02/06/2024] Open
Abstract
A highly efficient 3D flower MoS2 (3D-FM)-based heterostructure photocatalyst (3D-FM/BiOI) was successfully obtained via a simple hydrothermal synthesis strategy. 3D-FM/BiOI showed prominent photoelectrochemical performance, distinguished stability and good selectivity. The introduction of 3D-FM, by promoting the photoelectric property attributed to it, facilitated the separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. Since the redox process of l-ascorbic acid (l-AA) resulted in an increasing photocurrent of 3D-FM/BiOI, a signal "switch-on" photoelectrochemical sensor (PECS) was designed to sensitively determine l-AA for the first time. Under optimized conditions, the 3D-FM/BiOI PECS worked over a wide range from 1 μM to 0.8 mM with a low detection limit of 0.05 μM (S/N = 3). The PECS was successfully exploited for l-AA sensing in human urine with excellent accuracy and applicability, demonstrating its practical precision and superb serviceability. Furthermore, the 3D-FM/BiOI PECS exhibited satisfactory selectivity and stability, providing a great potential platform for the construction of an l-AA sensor in various practical samples and complicated environments.

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.
