Abstract
Mercury ion (Hg2+) poses a serious threat to human health due to its high toxicity. In this study, a smartphone-based photoelectrochemical sensor based on oxygen vacancies (OVs) driven signal enhancement for mercury ion detection was designed. BiVO4-x/Bi2S3/AuNPs were combined with T-Hg2+-T recognition mode to construct a multi-sandwich photoelectrochemical sensor. On the one hand, the OVs can increase the adsorption of light by the materials and enhance the photocurrent response as well as the superconductivity of Au NPs to accelerate the charge transfer at the electrode interface. On the other hand, the multi-sandwich structure was exploited to increase the binding site of Hg2+, as well as the T-Hg2+-T structure for sensitive recognition of Hg2+ and signal amplification. The sensor showed good linearity for Hg2+ concentration in the range of 0.1 nM-1.0 μM with a detection limit of 4.8 pM (S/N = 3). Eventually the smartphone-based real-time detection sensor is expected to contribute to the future analysis of heavy metal ions.

Abstract
Human health and ecology are seriously threatened by harmful environmental contaminants. It is essential to develop efficient and simple methods for their detection. Environmental pollutants can be detected using photoelectrochemical (PEC) detection technologies. The key ingredient in the PEC sensing system is the photoactive material. Due to the unique characteristics, such as a large surface area, enhanced exposure of active sites, and effective mass capture and diffusion, porous materials have been regarded as ideal sensing materials for the construction of PEC sensors. Extensive efforts have been devoted to the development and modification of PEC sensors based on porous materials. However, a review of the relationship between detection performance and the structure of porous materials is still lacking. In this work, we present an overview of PEC sensors based on porous materials. A number of typical porous materials are introduced separately, and their applications in PEC detection of different types of environmental pollutants are also discussed. More importantly, special attention has been paid to how the porous material's structure affects aspects like sensitivity, selectivity, and detection limits of the associated PEC sensor. In addition, future research perspectives in the area of PEC sensors based on porous materials are presented.

Abstract
Pesticides have become an integral part of modern agricultural practices, but their widespread use poses a significant threat to human health. As such, there is a pressing need to develop effective methods for detecting pesticides in food and environmental samples. Traditional chromatography methods and common rapid detection methods cannot satisfy accuracy, portability, long storage time, and solution stability at the same time. In recent years, photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensing technology has gained attention as a promising approach for detecting various pesticides due to its salient advantages, including high sensitivity, low cost, simple operation, fast response, and easy miniaturization, thus becoming a competitive candidate for real-time and on-site monitoring of pesticide levels. This review provides an overview of the recent advancements in PEC methods for pesticide detection and their applications in ensuring food and environmental safety, with a focus on the categories of photoactive materials, from single semiconductor to semiconductor-semiconductor heterojunction, and signaling mechanisms of PEC sensing platforms, including oxidation of pesticides, steric hindrance, generation/decrease in sacrificial agents, and introduction/release of photoactive materials. Additionally, this review will offer insights into future prospects and confrontations, thereby contributing novel perspectives to this evolving domain.

Abstract
In light of potential risks of heavy metal exposure, diverse aptasensors have been developed through the combination of aptamers with nanomaterials for the timely and efficient detection of metals in environmental and biological matrices. Aptamer-based sensors can benefit from multiple merits such as heightened sensitivity, facile production, uncomplicated operation, exceptional specificity, enhanced stability, low immunogenicity, and cost-effectiveness. This review highlights the detection capabilities of nanomaterial-based aptasensors for heavy-metal and metalloid ions based on their performance in terms of the basic quality assurance parameters (e.g., limit of detection, linear dynamic range, and response time). Out of covered studies, dendrimer/CdTe@CdS QDs-based ECL aptasensor was found as the most sensitive option with an LOD of 2.0 aM (atto-molar: 10-18 M) detection for Hg2+. The existing challenges in the nanomaterial-based aptasensors and their scientific solutions are also discussed.

Abstract
The search for efficient materials for sustainable infrastructure is an urgent challenge toward potential negative emission technologies and the global environmental crisis. Pleasant, efficient sunlight-activated coatings for applications in self-cleaning windows are sought in the glass industry, particularly those produced from scalable technologies. The current work presents visible-light-active iodide-doped BiOBr thin films fabricated using aerosol-assisted chemical vapor deposition. The impact of dopant concentration on the structural, morphological, and optical properties was studied systematically. The photocatalytic properties of the parent materials and as-deposited doped films were evaluated using the smart ink test. An optimized material was identified as containing 2.7 atom % iodide dopant. Insight into the photocatalytic behavior of these coatings was gathered from photoluminescence and photoelectrochemical studies. The optimum photocatalytic performance could be explained from a balance between photon absorption, charge generation, carrier separation, and charge transport properties under 450 nm irradiation. This optimized iodide-doped BiOBr coating is an excellent candidate for the photodegradation of volatile organic pollutants, with potential applications in self-cleaning windows and other surfaces.

Abstract
Development of new strategies in photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensors is an important way to realize sensitive detection of biomolecule. In this study, mesoporous silica nanospheres (MSNs)-assisted split-type PEC aptasensor with in situ generation of Bi2S3 was proposed to achieve reliable detection of prostate-specific antigen (PSA). To be more specific, this bioresponsive release system will release large amounts of Na2S by the reaction between PSA and aptamer that capped Na2S-loading MSNs. Next, the Na2S reacts with Bi to yield BiOI/BiOBr/Bi2S3 composite, which leads to an alteration in the electron-hole transfer pathway of the photoelectric material and a decrease in the response. As the PSA concentration increases, more Na2S can be released and lower photocurrent is obtained. The linear range under the optimal experimental conditions is 10 pg·mL-1-1 μg⋅mL-1, and the detection limit is 1.23 pg⋅mL-1, which has satisfactory stability and anti-interference.

Abstract
A photoelectrochemical molecular imprinting sensor based on Au/TiO2 nanocomposite was constructed for the detection of dibutyl phthalate. Firstly, TiO2 nanorods were grown on fluorine-doped tin oxide substrate by hydrothermal method. Then, gold nanoparticles were electrodeposited on TiO2 to fabricate Au/TiO2. Finally, molecular imprinted polymer was electropolymerized on the Au/TiO2 surface to construct MIP/Au/TiO2 PEC sensor for DBP. The conjugation effect of MIP accelerates the electron transfer between TiO2 and MIP, which can greatly improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency and sensitivity of the sensor. In addition, MIP can also provide sites for highly selective recognition of dibutyl phthalate molecules. Under optimal experimental conditions, the prepared photoelectrochemical sensor was used for the quantitative determination of DBP and the results showed a wide linear range (50 to 500 nM), a low limit of detection (0.698 nM), and good selectivity. The sensor was used in a study of real water samples to show that it has promising applications in environmental analysis.

Abstract
The state-of-art signal transduction mechanism of anodic photoelectrochemistry is constrained to the hole oxidation reaction, which greatly hinders its application for prospective biosensing applications. Herein, we present an innovative strategy for signal transduction by exploiting the in situ formation of surface oxygen vacancies (VOs) on Fe2O3 nanorods (NRs) through the self-coordination of 2,3-dihydroxynaphthalene (2,3-DHN) on their surfaces. The 2,3-DHN was connected with Fe(Ⅲ) on the surface of Fe2O3 NRs vis the formation of the five-membered ring structures accompanied by the generation of VOs. And the generated VOs introduced a new defect energy level for trapping the photogenerated holes, which enhanced the charge separation and realized the enhancement of photocurrent signal. The developed signal transduction strategy was validated by the first photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensing platform for β-glucoside (β-Glu) and lipase (LPS), which can catalyze the hydrolysis of 3-hydroxy-2-naphthalenyl-β-D-glucoside and naphthalene-2,3-diol diacetate, respectively, to produce 2,3-DHN for signal stimuli. The β-Glu and LPS were detected with linear ranges of 0.01-10.0 U/mL and 0.001-5.0 mg/mL, respectively. Detection limits of 3.3 × 10-3 U/mL and 0.32 μg/mL (S/N = 3) were achieved, for β-Glu and LPS, respectively. The present study not only provides a new strategy for spontaneous induction of VOs in situ for n-type semiconductors, but also innovates the anodic PEC signal transduction strategy with broadened biosensing applications.

Abstract
Toxicity screening and risk assessment of an overwhelmingly large and ever-increasing number of chemicals are vitally essential for ecological safety and human health. Genotoxicity is particularly important because of its association with mutagenicity, carcinogenicity and cancer. Phosphorylated histone H2AX (γH2AX) is an early sensitive genotoxic biomarker. It is therefore highly desirable to develop analytical methods for the detection of trace γH2AX to enable screening and assessment of genotoxicity. Here, we developed a novel cathodic photoelectrochemical (PEC) immunoassay with dual signal amplification for the rapid and ultrasensitive detection of γH2AX in cell lysates. A sandwich immuno-reaction targeting γH2AX was first carried out on a 96-well plate, using a secondary antibody/gold nanoparticle/glucose oxidase conjugate as the labeled detection antibody. The conjugate increased the production of H2O2 and thus provided the first mechanism of signal amplification. The immuno-reaction product containing H2O2 was then detected on a photocathode prepared from Bi2+xWO6 rich in oxygen vacancies, with H2O2 acting as electron acceptor. The oxygen vacancies acted as both adsorption and activation sites of H2O2 and thus enhanced the photocurrent, which provided another mechanism of signal amplification. As a result, an ultrasensitive immunoassay for γH2AX determination was established with a limit of detection of 6.87 pg/mL (S/N = 3) and a wide linear range from 0.01 to 500 ng/mL. The practicability of this assay was verified by detecting γH2AX in cell lysates exposed to known genotoxic chemicals. Our work offers a promising tool for the screening of genotoxic chemicals and opening a new avenue toward environmental risk assessment.

Abstract
Mercury ion (Hg2+) is one of the most harmful heavy metal ions with the greatest impact on public health. Herein, based on the excellent catalytic activity toward 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) and the strong photocurrent-polarity-switching ability to SnS2 photoanode of the split G-quadruplex-hemin complex, the magnetic NiCo2O4@SiO2-NH2 sphere-assisted colorimetric and photoelectrochemical (PEC) dual-mode sensing platform was developed for the Hg2+ assay. First, the amino-labelled single-stranded DNA1 (S1) was immobilized on NiCo2O4@SiO2-NH2 and then partly hybridized with another single-stranded DNA2 (S2). When Hg2+ was present, the thymine-Hg2+-thymine base pairs between S1 and S2 were formed, causing the formation of the split G-quadruplex in the presence of K+. After addition of hemin, the split G-quadruplex-hemin complex was obtained and effectually catalyzed the H2O2-mediated oxidation of TMB. Thus, the color and absorbance intensity of the TMB solution were changed, resulting in the visual and colorimetric detection of Hg2+. The linear response range is 10 pM to 10 nM, and the detection limit is 3.8 pM. Meanwhile, the above G-quadruplex-hemin complex effectively switched the photocurrent polarity of SnS2-modified indium tin oxide electrode, leading to the sensitive and selective PEC assay of Hg2+ with a linear response range of 5 pM to 500 nM and a detection limit of 2.3 pM. Moreover, the developed dual-mode sensing platform provided mutual authentication of detection results in different modes, effectively improving the assay accuracy and confidence, and may have a good potential application in highly sensitive, selective, and accurate determination of Hg2+ in environmental fields.

Abstract
An important target of photoelectrocatalysis (PEC) technology is the development of semiconductor-based photoelectrodes capable of absorbing solar energy (visible light) and promoting oxidation and reduction reactions. Bismuth oxyhalide-based materials BiOX (X = Cl, Br, and I) meet these requirements. Their crystalline structure, optical and electronic properties, and photocatalytic activity under visible light mean that these materials can be coupled to other semiconductors to develop novel heterostructures for photoelectrochemical degradation systems. This review provides a general overview of controlled BiOX powder synthesis methods, and discusses the optical and structural features of BiOX-based materials, focusing on heterojunction photoanodes. In addition, it summarizes the most recent applications in this field, particularly photoelectrochemical performance, experimental conditions and degradation efficiencies reported for some organic pollutants (e.g., pharmaceuticals, organic dyes, phenolic derivatives, etc.). Finally, as this review seeks to serve as a guide for the characteristics and various properties of these interesting semiconductors, it discusses future PEC-related challenges to explore.

Abstract
Photocatalytic treatment of organic pollutants present in wastewater using semiconductor nanomaterials under light irradiation is one of the efficient advanced oxidation processes. Stable metal oxide (e.g. TiO2) based semiconductor photocatalytic systems have been mainly investigated for this purpose. Nevertheless, their large band gap (~3.2 eV) makes them inefficient in utilization of visible light portion of solar light leading to a lower degradation efficiency. Investigations have focused on the development of visible light responsive bismuth oxyhalides (BiOX; X = Cl, Br, I), one of the potential nanomaterials with unique layered structure, for efficient absorption of solar light for the degradation of pollutants. However, the rapid recombination rate of photogenerated charge carriers limits their practical applicability. To overcome such drawbacks, the development of BiOX based ternary nanocomposites received significant attention because of their unique structural and electronic properties, improved visible light response and increased separation and transfer rate of photogenerated charge carriers. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the recent developments on bismuth oxyhalides-based ternary nanocomposites for enhanced environmental pollutants decomposition under visible light irradiation. The principles of photocatalysis, synthetic methodologies of bismuth oxyhalides and their characteristics such as heterojunctions formation, improved visible light response and separation rate of charge carriers and the mechanisms for enhanced visible light photocatalytic activity are discussed. In addition, the future prospects on the improvement in the photocatalytic activity of bismuth oxyhalides-based ternary nanocomposites are also discussed. This review could be beneficial for designing new ternary nanocomposites with superior visible light photocatalytic efficiency.

Abstract
Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world, and its early detection is vital to saving the lives of patients. In this research, a novel label-free photoelectrochemical immunosensor was designed for sensitive detection of prostate specific antigen (PSA). Ag2S sensitized on Ag/AgBr/BiOBr heterojunction could effectively inhibit photogenic holes recombination and improve photocurrent response and sensitivity. Ascorbic acid was an effective electron donor, which can effectively eliminate photo-generated holes. The photocurrent reduced linearly with the logarithm of PSA concentration ranged from 0.001 to 50 ng·mL-1 and the limit of detection was 0.25 pg·mL-1. The designed sensor had the advantages of wide linear range, good stability, high reproducibility, and good selectivity. This study not only provided a method for efficient and sensitive detection of PSA, but also provided valuable reference ideas for the detection of other tumor markers.

Abstract
In this work, a label-free nonenzymatic photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor is successfully developed for the detection of a typical pollutant, microcystin-LR (MC-LR), based on a visible-light-responsive alloy oxide, with highly ordered and vertically aligned Ti-Fe-O nanotubes (NTs) as substrates. Ti-Fe-O NTs consisting mainly of TiO2 and atomically doped Fe2O3 are in situ prepared on a Ti-Fe alloy by electrochemical anodic oxidation. Using a simple electrochemical deposition technique, reduced graphene oxide (RGO) could be grown onto Ti-Fe-O NTs, exhibiting significant bifunctions. It not only provides an ideal microenvironment for functionalization of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) on the surface but also serves as the PEC signal amplification element because of its outstanding conductivity for photons and electrons. The designed MIP/RGO/Ti-Fe-O NT PEC sensor exhibits high sensitivity toward MC-LR with a limit of detection as low as 10 pM. High selectivity toward MC-LR is also proven for the sensor. A promising detection platform not only for MC-LR but also for other pollutants has therefore been provided.

Abstract
Pharmaceutical active compounds (PhACs), as a kind of widely used pharmaceutical drugs, has attracted much attention. The bismuth oxyhalides (BiOX)-based photocatalysis can remove PhACs efficiently due to its unique layered structure, optical and electronic properties. Nevertheless, the rapid recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs, and the inherent instability of structure have limited its practical application. In order to solve these problems, recent modification studies tend to focus on facet control, elemental doping, bismuth-rich strategies, defect engineering and heterojunction. Therefore, the objective of this review is to summarize the recent developments in multiply modified strategies for PhACs degradation. The synthesis methods, photocatalytic properties and the enhancement mechanism are elaborated. Besides, based on theoretical calculation, the reactive sites of typical PhACs attacked by different reactive oxygen species were also proposed. Subsequently, challenges and opportunities in applications are also featured which include factors, viz., dissolution of halogen ions, instability under visible light, applications of real water/wastewater, intermediates and byproducts toxicity analysis of BiOX-based photocatalysis. Finally, the perspectives of BiOX-based photocatalysis for PhACs photodegradation in actual water applications are highlighted.

Abstract
The design and construction of a photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor with excellent photoelectric properties and good photoelectrocatalysis activity is significant for the effective detection of analytes. In this paper, based on a two-step anodic oxidation method and successive ionic layer adsorption (SILAR) method, a TiO2 nanotube array (TNT) photoelectrochemical sensor modified with BiOBr nanosheets was constructed and applied for the detection of H2O2 for the first time. The photocurrent of the photoelectrochemical sensor increases with the increase of the H2O2 concentration under the irradiation of an 8 W UV lamp. Excellent linearity was obtained in the concentration range from 10 nM to 100 μM with a low detection limit of 5 nM (S/N = 3). This excellent photoelectrochemical performance is due to the formation of a p-n heterojunction between BiOBr and TiO2 nanotube arrays, which provides efficient separation of charge carriers and accelerates electron transport. Moreover, it is applied to detect H2O2 in milk samples and it showed a good recovery result ranging from 95.73% to 105.65%, which provides a promising new strategy for the detection of H2O2.

Abstract
This work developed a double ion-exchange reaction-based photoelectrochemical (PEC) immunoassay with the split-type detection mode for sensitive detection of prostate-specific antigen (PSA, used as a model). The nanocomposite of cadmium sulfide and nickel sulfide (CdS@NiS nanocomposite), as the photoactive material, was rapidly synthesized by two-step hydrothermal treatment. In the presence of target PSA, the cupric oxide nanoparticle (CuO NP) labeled detection antibody was introduced into the detection system by sandwich immunoreaction and the copper (Cu2+) ions was released from CuO nanoparticles by acid to participate in double ion-exchange reaction. The double ion-exchange reaction on the photoelectric sensing interface between Cu2+ and CdS@NiS nanocomposites formed the weak photoactive material CuxS (x = 1, 2) to reduce the photocurrent. Under optimal conditions, the double ion-exchange reaction-based PEC immunoassay exhibited good photocurrent responses toward target PSA within the dynamic working range from 0.01 ng mL-1 to 50 ng mL-1 at a low limit of detection (LOD) of 2.9 pg mL-1. Besides, our work could achieve good reproducibility and high specificity under the split-type detection mode. Compared with human PSA ELISA kit, the accuracy obtained by our strategy was satisfactory. Importantly, this Cu2+-activated double ion-exchange reaction-based PEC immunoassay provides a promising platform for the detection of biomarkers.
