Biosens Bioelectron 2024; 264:116645. [PMID: 39142228 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2024.116645] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/18/2024] [Revised: 08/06/2024] [Accepted: 08/07/2024] [Indexed: 08/16/2024]
Abstract
L-tyrosine is a recognized biomarker of albinism, whose endogenous level in human bodies is directly linked to melanin synthesis while no attention has been paid to its specific diagnosis. To this end, we have developed an electrochemical point-of-care testing device based on a molecularly imprinted gel prepared by a universal paradigm shift design to achieve the enhanced specific recognition of the L-tyrosine. Interestingly, this theoretically optimized molecularly imprinted gel validates the recognition pattern of L-tyrosine and optimizes the structure of the polymer itself with the aid of computational chemistry. Besides, modified extended-layer MXene and Au nanoclusters have significantly improved the sensing activity. As a result, the linear diagnostic range of this electrochemical point-of-care testing device for L-tyrosine is 0.1-100 μM in actual human fluids, which fully covers the L-tyrosine levels of healthy individuals and people with albinism. The diagnosis is completed in 90 s and then the results are transmitted by Bluetooth low energy to the smart mobile terminal. Therefore, we are convinced that this electrochemical point-of-care testing device is a promising tool in the future smart medical system.

Abstract
Deoxynivalenol (DON), a mycotoxin produced by Fusarium, poses a significant risk to human health and the environment. Therefore, the development of a highly sensitive and accurate detection method is essential to monitor the pollution situation. In response to this imperative, we have devised an advanced split-type photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor for DON analysis, which leverages self-shedding MOF-nanocarriers to modulate the photoelectric response ability of PEC substrate. The PEC sensing interface was constructed using CdS/MoSe2 heterostructures, while the self-shedding copper peroxide nanodots@ZIF-8 (CPNs@ZIF-8) served as the Cu2+ source for the in-situ ion exchange reaction, which generated a target-related signal reduction. The constructed PEC sensor exhibited a broad linear range of 0.1 pg mL-1 to 500 ng mL-1 with a low detection limit of 0.038 pg mL-1, demonstrating high stability, selectivity, and proactivity. This work not only introduces innovative ideas for the design of photosensitive materials, but also presents novel sensing strategies for detecting various environmental pollutants.

Abstract
Convenient and accurate quantification of disease-relevant multitargets is essential for community disease screening. However, in the field of photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensors for multisubstance detection, research on the continuous detection of multiple targets using a polarity-switching mode is scarce. In this study, a multiplexed PEC bioassay was developed based on a target-triggered "anodic-cathodic-anodic" multiple-polarity-switchable mode. Employing miRNA-21 and miRNA-141 as model analytes, the photosensitive material combinations of Cu2O/gold nanoparticles (AuNPs)/TiO2 and CdS/AuNPs/TiO2 were successively formed through the specific binding of different whisker branches of Whisker-DNA to Cu2O-H1 and the CdS-tripod DNA ring, respectively. This process reverses the photocurrent polarity from anodic to cathodic and then back to anodic upon detecting different targets, resulting in the high-sensitivity quantification of various biological targets with reduced interference. To enhance the device's utility and affordability in community disease screening, integrating a capacitor and a multimeter-smartphone connection simplifies the assembly and reduces costs. In developing the PEC sensor, the device demonstrated linear detection ranges for miRNA-21 and miRNA-141 from 0.01 fM to 10 nM. Detection limits for miRNA-21 and miRNA-141 were established at 3.2 and 4.3 aM, respectively. The innovative target-triggered multiple-polarity-switchable mode offers adaptability for other multitarget detections by simply modifying the structure of the whisker branches and the combination of photosensitive materials.

Abstract
Bovine serum albumin (BSA) has been widely used in biosensors as a blocking agent. Herein, conformist BSA was first exploited as an ingenious operator to enhance the photocurrent response of (2Z,2'Z)-2,2'-(1,4-phenylene)bis(3-(4-(bis(4-methoxyphenyl)amino)phenyl)acrylonitrile) (TPDCN)-based photoelectrochemical (PEC) platform via manipulating the electron transfer process of the detection system. Concretely, the presence of target molecules triggered catalytic hairpin assembly reaction and subsequently powered terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated signal amplification to produce the AgNP@BSA-DNA dendrimer nanostructure. After being treated with HNO3, a large amount of BSA could be released from the dendrimer nanostructure. When they were transferred to the TPDCN-based PEC platform, the photocurrent response of the biosensor was largely enhanced because BSA can manipulate the electrons of TPDCN via a well-matched energy level to form a new electron transfer track. Meanwhile, tryptophan (Trp) in BSA could be oxidized to quinone Trp-O under photoirradiation, which can facilitate the oxidation of ascorbate and generate more H+ to promote the migration of photogenerated electrons. As a result, the proposed PEC biosensor exhibits excellent analytical performance for detection of miRNA-21 (as a model target) over a wide linear range of 0.01 to 10,000 pM with detection limit as low as 4.7 fM. Overall, this strategy provides a new perspective on constructing efficient PEC biosensors, which expands the potential applications in bioanalysis and clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
Abnormal expression in long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) is closely associated with cancers. Herein, a novel CRISPR/Cas13a-enhanced photocurrent-polarity-switching photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensor was engineered for the joint detection of dual lncRNAs, using deep learning (DL) to assist in cancer diagnosis. After target lncRNA-activated CRISPR/Cas13a cleaves to induce DNAzyme bidirectional walkers with the help of cofactor Mg2+, nitrogen-doped carbon-Cu/Cu2O octahedra are introduced into the biosensor, producing a photocurrent in the opposite direction of CdS quantum dots (QDs). The developed PEC biosensor shows high specificity and sensitivity with limits of detection down to 25.5 aM for lncRNA HOTAIR and 53.1 aM for lncRNA MALAT1. More importantly, this platform for the lncRNA joint assay in whole blood can successfully differentiate cancers from healthy people. Furthermore, the DL model is applied to explore the potential pattern hidden in data of the established technology, and the accuracy of DL cancer diagnosis can acquire 93.3%. Consequently, the developed platform offers a new avenue for lncRNA joint detection and early intelligent diagnosis of cancer.

Abstract
Timely and rapid detection of antibiotic residues in the environment is conducive to safeguarding human health and promoting an ecological virtuous cycle. A foldable paper-based photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor was successfully developed for the detection of ampicillin (AMP) based on glutathione/zirconium dioxide hollow nanorods/aptamer (GSH@ZrO2 HS@apt) modified cellulose paper as a reactive zone with laser direct-writing lead sulfide/cadmium sulfide/graphene (PbS/CdS/LIG) as photoelectrode and cobalt hydroxide (CoOOH) as a photoresist material. Initially, AMP was introduced into the paper-based reaction zone as a biogate aptamer, which specifically recognized the target and then left the ZrO2 HS surface, releasing glutathione (GSH) encapsulated inside. Subsequently, the introduction of GSH into the reaction region and etching of CoOOH nanosheets to expose the PbS/CdS/LIG photosensitive material increased photocurrent. Under optimal conditions, the paper-based PEC biosensor showed a linear response to AMP in the range of 5.0 - 2 × 104 pM with a detection limit of 1.36 pM (S/N = 3). In addition, the constructed PEC sensing platform has excellent selectivity, high stability and favorable reproducibility, and can be used to assess AMP residue levels in various real water samples (milk, tap water, river water), indicating its promising application in environmental antibiotic detection.

Abstract
Considering that cancer has become the second leading cause of death in humans, it is essential to develop an analytical approach that can sensitively detect tumor markers for early detection. We report an attenuated photoelectrochemical (PEC) immunoassay based on the organic-inorganic heterojunction 10MIL-88B(FeV)/ZnIn2S4 (10M88B(FeV)/ZIS) as a photoactive material for monitoring carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). The 10M88B(FeV)/ZIS heterojunctions have excellent light-harvesting properties and high electrical conductivity, which are attributed to the advantages of both organic and inorganic semiconductors, namely, remarkable photogenerated carrier separation efficiency and long photogenerated carrier lifetime. Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) in the presence of H2O2 can catalyze 3,3'-diaminofenamide (DAB) producing brown precipitates (oxDAB), which is then loaded onto the 10M88B(FeV)/ZIS heterojunction to reduce the photocurrent and enable the quantitative detection of CEA. Under optimal conditions, the photocurrent values of the PEC biosensor are linearly related to the logarithm of the CEA concentrations, ranging from 0.01 ng mL-1 to 100 ng mL-1 with a detection limit (LOD) of 4.0 pg mL-1. Notably, the accuracy of the PEC biosensor is in agreement with that of the human CEA enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit.

Abstract
The degree of the carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA-125) level in serum is positively correlated with the severity of ovarian cancer. In this study, a facile photoelectrochemical (PEC) immunoassay was devised for sensitive detection of CA-125 employing enzyme-catalyzed precipitation to weaken the photocurrent of hollow porous In2O3 nanotubes incorporating CdS nanoparticles. Upon the addition of the target analyte, horseradish peroxidase (HRP) enriches as a result of the formation of the sandwich immunocomplex, which can catalyze the conversion of 4-chloro1-naphthol (4-CN) to benzo-4-chlorohexadienone (4-CD) employing H2O2 as a cofactor. The as-produced insoluble precipitate acts as an obstacle to hinder the absorption of visible light by photoactive materials, thereby resulting in a decrease in photocurrent. Moreover, the weakened signal can be easily read out by a digital multimeter (DMM), advancing the convenience of the detection system. The preliminary analysis data indicate that the PEC immunoassay shows an efficient response to CA-125 levels ranging from 0.1 to 100 U mL-1 with a limit of detection (LOD) as low as 0.046 U mL-1 (S/N = 3). Most importantly, the proposed portable method has shown satisfactory performance in terms of selectivity, reproducibility, stability, and analysis in complex biological matrices.

Abstract
Comprehending the charge transfer mechanism at the semiconductor interfaces is crucial for enhancing the electronic and optical performance of sensing devices. Yet, relying solely on single signal acquisition methods at the interface hinders a comprehensive understanding of the charge transfer under optical excitation. Herein, we present an integrated photoelectrochemical surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (PEC-SERS) platform based on quantum dots/metal-organic framework (CdTe/Yb-TCPP) nanocomposites for investigating the charge transfer mechanism under photoexcitation in multiple dimensions. This integrated platform allows simultaneous PEC and SERS measurements with a 532 nm laser. The obtained photocurrent and Raman spectra of the CdTe/Yb-TCPP nanocomposites are simultaneously influenced by variable bias voltages, and the correlation between them enables us to predict the charge transfer pathway. Moreover, we integrate gold nanorods (Au NRs) into the PEC-SERS system by using magnetic separation and DNA biometrics to construct a biosensor for patulin detection. This biosensor demonstrates the voltage-driven ON/OFF switching of PEC and SERS signals, a phenomenon attributed to the plasmon resonance effect of Au NRs at different voltages, thereby influencing charge transfer. The detection of patulin in apples verified the applicability of the biosensor. The study offers an efficient approach to understanding semiconductor-metal interfaces and presents a new avenue for designing high-performance biosensors.

A generalizable sensing platform based on molecularly imprinted polymer-aptamer double recognition and nanoenzyme assisted photoelectrochemical-colorimetric dual-mode detection. Biosens Bioelectron 2024; 254:116201. [PMID: 38507928 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2024.116201] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2024] [Revised: 02/28/2024] [Accepted: 03/07/2024] [Indexed: 03/22/2024]
Abstract
Developing highly sensitive and selective methods that incorporate specific recognition elements is crucial for detecting small molecules because of the limited availability of small molecule antibodies and the challenges in obtaining sensitive signals. In this study, a generalizable photoelectrochemical-colorimetric dual-mode sensing platform was constructed based on the synergistic effects of a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP)-aptamer sandwich structure and nanoenzymes. The MIP functionalized peroxidase-like Fe3O4 (Fe3O4@MIPs) and alkaline phosphatase mimic Zr-MOF labeled aptamer (Zr-mof@Apt) were used as the recognition elements. By selectively accumulating dibutyl phthalate (DBP), a small molecule target model, on Fe3O4@MIPs, the formation of Zr-MOF@Apt-DBP- Fe3O4@MIPs sandwich structure was triggered. Fe3O4@MIPs oxidized TMB to form blue-colored oxTMB. However, upon selective accumulation of DBP, the catalytic activity of Fe3O4@MIPs was inhibited, resulting in a lighter color that was detectable by the colorimetric method. Additionally, Zr-mof@Apt effectively catalyzed the hydrolysis of L-Ascorbic acid 2-phosphate sesquimagnesium salt hydrate (AAPS), generating ascorbic acid (AA) that could neutralize the photogenerated holes to decrease the photocurrent signals for PEC sensing and reduce oxTMB for colorimetric testing. The dual-mode platform showed strong linearity for different concentrations of DBP from 1.0 pM to 10 μM (PEC) and 0.1 nM to 0.5 μM (colorimetry). The detection limits were 0.263 nM (PEC) and 30.1 nM (colorimetry) (S/N = 3), respectively. The integration of dual-signal measurement mode and sandwich recognition strategy provided a sensitive and accurate platform for the detection of small molecules.

Abstract
A novel photoelectrochemical sensor, employing an S-scheme heterojunction of phthalocyanine and TiO2 nanoparticles, has been developed to enable highly sensitive determination of glutathione. By integrating the favorable stability, environmental benignity, and electronic properties of the TiO2 matrix with the unique photoactivity of phthalocyanine species, the designed sensor presents a substantial linear dynamic range and a low detection limit for the quantification of glutathione. The sensitivity is attributed to efficient charge transfer and separation across the staggered heterojunction energy levels, which generates measurable photocurrent signals. Systematic variation of phthalocyanine content reveals an optimal composition that balances light harvesting capacity and electron-hole recombination rates. The incorporation of phosphotungstic acid (PTA) in sample preparation effectively minimizes interference from compounds like L-cysteine and others. Consequently, this leads to an improvement in accuracy through the reduction of impurity levels. Appreciable photocurrent enhancements are observed upon introduction of both oxidized and reduced glutathione at the optimized composite photoanode. Coupled with advantageous features of photoelectrochemical transduction such as simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and resistance to fouling, this sensor holds great promise for practical applications in complex biological media.

Abstract
The development of an ultrasensitive and precise measurement of a breast cancer biomarker (cancer antigen 15-3; CA15-3) in complex human serum is essential for the early diagnosis of cancer in groups of healthy populations and the treatment of patients. However, currently available testing technologies suffer from insufficient sensitivity toward CA15-3, which severely limits early large-scale screening of breast cancer patients. We report a versatile electrochemical immunoassay method based on atomically cobalt-dispersed nitrogen-doped carbon (Co-NC)-modified disposable screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) with alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and its metabolite, ascorbic acid 2-phosphate (AAP), as the electrochemical labeling and redox signaling unit for sensitive detection of low-abundance CA15-3. During electrochemical detection by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), it was found that the Co-NC-SPCE electrode did not have a current signal response to the AAP substrate; however, it had an extremely favorable response current to ascorbic acid (AA). Based on the above principle, the target CA15-3-triggered immunoassay enriched ALP-catalyzed AAP produces a large amount of AA, resulting in a significant change in the system current signal, thereby realizing the highly sensitive detection of CA15-3. Under the optimal AAP substrate concentration and ALP catalysis time, the Co-NC-SPCE-based electrochemical immunoassay demonstrated a good DPV current for CA15-3 in the assay interval of 1.0 mU/mL to 10,000 mU/mL, with a calculated limit of detection of 0.38 mU/mL. Since Co-NC-SPCE has an excellent DPV current response to AA and employs split-type scheme, the constructed electrochemical immunoassay has the merits of high preciseness and anti-interference, and its clinical diagnostic results are comparable to those of commercial kits.

Abstract
Long non-coding RNA (LncRNA) as an emerging tumor biomarker plays a key factor in the early diagnosis of cancer. Herein, an innovative signal-switchable photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensor based on ZrO2@CuO bimetallic oxides and T7 Exo-assisted signal amplification is reported for the ultrasensitive and selective detection of lncRNA (HOX gene antisense intergenic RNA, HOTAIR) in cancer cells. Firstly, MOFs-derived TiO2 nanodisks as an excellent photoactive material show an anodic background signal. When target lncRNA exists, the abundant auxiliary DNA1 is freed from T7 Exo-assisted cycle signal amplification, and then competitively hybridizes with auxiliary DNA2 on the electrode. Subsequently, bimetallic MOFs-derived ZrO2@CuO octahedra with a high specific surface area and porous structure are introduced into TiO2 nanodisks-modified biosensor, which appears a cathodic photocurrent and achieves a switchable signal. The developed signal-switchable PEC biosensor shows ultrasensitive detection of lncRNA HOTAIR with a detection limit of 0.12 fM, and can eliminate the false interference. Importantly, the established PEC biosensor has good correlation with RT-qPCR analysis (P < 0.05) for the quantification of lncRNA HOTAIR in cancer cells, which has great potential application for biomarker detection in the early diagnosis of cancer.

Abstract
A sensitive signal-on photoelectrochemical aptasensor for antibiotic determination was constructed based on the energy level matching between ferrocene and CuInS2. P-type CuInS2 microflower was complexed with reduced graphene oxide (CuInS2/rGO) to get photocathode current with good photoelectric conversion efficiency and stability. Then, hairpin DNA (HP) was covalently bonded to the electrode surface. A triple helix DNA (THMS) was used as a molecular switch. After the specific recognition between target and THMS in homogeneous solution, ferrocene labeled probe (Fc-T2) was released. Finally, Fc-T2 was captured by the HP, which leaded the obvious increase of photocurrent for the energy level matching between ferrocene and CuInS2. The increase of the photocurrent signal was proportional to the concentration of target amoxicillin (AMOX), the linear range was 100 fM-100 nM with detection limit of 19.57 fM. Meanwhile, the method has been successfully applied for milk and lake water samples analysis with satisfactory results.

Abstract
Antibiotic residuals in foods may lead to crucial health and safety issues in the human body. Rapid and in-time analysis of antibiotics using simple and sensitive techniques is in high demand. Among the most commonly applicable modalities, chromatography-based techniques like HPLC and LC-MS, along with immunological approaches, particularly ELISA have been exampled in the analysis of antibiotics. Despite being highly sensitive, these methods are considerably time-consuming, thus the presence of skilled personnel and costly equipment is essential. Nanomaterial-based (bio)sensors, however, are de novo analytical equipment with some beneficial characteristics, such as simplicity, low price, on-site, high accuracy, and sensitivity for the detection of analytes. This review aimed to collect the latest developments in NM-based sensors and biosensors for the observation of highly used antibiotics like Vancomycin (Van), Linezolid (Lin), and Clindamycin (Clin). The current challenges and developmental perspectives are also debated in detail for future research directions.

Abstract
Different from prevalent approaches such as immunological recognition, complementary base pairing, or enzymatic regulation in current photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensing, this study reported an excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT)-driven photon-gating PEC sensor. The sensor is developed for the detection of CO-releasing molecule-3 (CORM-3) by modifying an ESIPT-switched organic fluorescent probe molecule (NDAA) onto the surface of a p-type semiconductor (BiOI). The NDAA can be excited and exhibit strong green fluorescence after responding with CORM-3, resulting in an electrode-interface photon competitive absorption effect due to the switch on ESIPT and considerably reducing the photocurrent signal. The experimental results revealed that the as-developed PEC sensor achieved good analytical performance with high selectivity and sensitivity, with a linear range of 0.01-1000 μM and a lower detection limit of 6.5 nM. This work demonstrates the great potential of the organic fluorescent probe molecule family in advancing PEC analysis. It is anticipated that our findings will stimulate the creation of diverse functional probes possessing distinctive characteristics for inventive PEC sensors.

Abstract
Herein, the first iontronic photoelectrochemical (PEC) biorecognition probing is devised by rational engineering of a dual-functional bioconjugate, i.e., a light-sensitive intercalated structural DNA, as a smart gating module confined within a nanotip, which could respond to both the incident light and biotargets of interest. Light stimulation of the bioconjugate could intensify the negative charge at the nano-orifice to sustain enhanced ionic current. The presence of proteins (e.g., acetylcholinesterase, AChE) or nucleic acids (e.g., microRNA (miR)-10b) could lead to bioconjugate release with altered ionic signaling. The practical applicability of the methodology is confirmed by AChE detection in human serum and miR-10b detection in single cells.

Abstract
Herein, a flexible near-infrared (NIR) light-actuated photoelectrochemical (PEC) lab-on-paper device was constructed toward miRNA-122 detection, utilizing the combination of DNA-programmed NaYF4/Yb,Tm upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) and the Z-scheme AgI/WO3 heterojunction grown in situ on gold nanoparticle-decorated 3D cellulose fibers. The UCNPs were employed as light transducers for converting NIR light into ultraviolet/visible (UV/vis) light to excite the nanojunction. The multiple diffraction of NaYF4/Yb,Tm matched the absorption band of the Z-scheme AgI/WO3 heterojunction, resulting in enhanced PEC photocurrent output. This prepared Z-scheme heterojunction effectively directed charge migration and highly facilitated the electron-hole pair separation. Target miRNA-122 activated the nonenzyme catalytic hairpin assembly signal amplification strategy, generating duplexes which caused the exfoliation of NaYF4/Yb,Tm UCNPs from the biosensor electrode and lowered the photocurrent under 980 nm irradiation. Under optimized circumstances, the proposed NIR-actuated PEC lab-on-paper device presented accurate miRNA-122 detection within a wide linear range of 10 fM-100 nM with a low limit of detection of 2.32 fM, providing a reliable strategy in the exploration of NIR-actuated PEC biosensors for low-cost, high-performance bioassay in clinical applications.

This work designed a liposome-mediated photocurrent polarity switching immunosensor depending on the reversed photocurrent of iodine-doped BiOCl (I-BOC) nanoflowers induced by the released methylene blue (MB) for the detection of prostate-specific antigen (PSA). Initially, MB-loaded liposomes as indicators were confined within the microplates to participate in the sandwiched immunoreaction and lysed under the treatment of Triton X-100 to release numerous MB. Owing to the host-guest recognition between β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and MB, the released MB was immobilized on the β-CD-modified I-BOC/FTO electrode and triggered the photocurrent polarity reversal from cathodic photocurrent to anodic photocurrent. The sensing platform realized an accurate and sensitive assay of PSA due to the effective elimination of false-positive/negative signals in a linear range of 0.02-50 ng mL-1 with a limit of detection of 12 pg mL-1. Furthermore, this work not only conjugated liposome-assisted signal amplification strategy with the photocurrent polarity switching system but also provided a novel pathway for various protein determinations.

Abstract
Each organism has a unique sequence of nitrogenous bases in in the form of DNA or RNA which distinguish them from other organisms. This characteristic makes nucleic acid-based detection extremely selective and compare to other molecular techniques. In recent years, several nucleic acid-based detection technology methods have been developed, one of which is the electrochemical biosensor. Electrochemical biosensors are known to have high sensitivity and accuracy. In addition, the ease of miniaturization of this electrochemical technique has garnered interest from many researchers. On the other hand, the CRISPR/Cas12 method has been widely used in detecting nucleic acids due to its highly selective nature. The CRISPR/Cas12 method is also reported to increase the sensitivity of electrochemical biosensors through the utilization of modified electrodes. The electrodes can be modified according to detection needs so that the biosensor's performance can be improved. This review discusses the application of CRISPR/Cas12-based electrochemical biosensors, as well as various electrode modifications that have been successfully used to improve the performance of these biosensors in the clinical and food monitoring fields.

Abstract
In the past several decades, Photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensing still remains a great challenge to design highly-efficient semiconductor photocatalysts via a facile method. It is of much importance to design and synthesize various novel nanostructured sensing materials for further improving the response performance. Herein, we present an In2 O3 /In2 S3 heterostructure obtained by combining microwave assisted hydrothermal method with S-induced phase change, whose energy band and electronic structure could be adjusted by changing the S content. Combining theoretical calculation and spectroscopic techniques, the introduction of sulfur was proved to produce multifunctional interfaces, inducing the change of phase, oxygen vacancies and band gap, which accelerates the separation of photoexcited carriers and reduces their recombination, improving the electronic injection efficiency around the interface of In2 O3 /In2 S3 . As anticipated, an enhanced glucose response performance with a photocurrent of 0.6 mA cm-2 , a linear range of 0.1-1 mM and a detection limit as low as 14.5 μM has been achieved based on the In2 O3 /In2 S3 heterostructure, which is significant superior over its pure In2 O3 and S-doped In2 O3 counterparts. This efficient interfacial strategy may open a new route to manipulate the electrical structure, and energy band structure regulation of sensing material to improve the performance of photoelectrodes for PEC.

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
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
In clinical diagnostics, sensitive and accurate biomarker monitoring is greatly challenged by the limitations of false positive/negative errors in single-modal photoelectrochemical analysis. Herein, we propose a multimode immunoassay by integrating photoelectrochemical, colorimetric, and photothermal imaging analysis into one electrode. The immunosensors could simultaneously achieve three detection modes at one electrode, which provided a new pathway for the accurate detection of the target prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and circumvented false-positive or negative errors during the detection process. To this end, an integrated multifunctional chip (TiO2/ZIF-8/Cu(II)) was first constructed via in situ embedding of Cu(II) in the Metal-organic framework growth process. Then, an alkaline phosphatase-labeled magnetic probe was designed to achieve split-type detection for PSA. In a sodium thiophosphate solution, the in situ generated H2S could react with Cu(II) to form small-size CuS due to the nanoconfinement of ZIF-8 and thus result in the formation of p-n heterojunctions (TiO2/ZIF-8/CuS). The TiO2/ZIF-8/CuS could efficiently improve the light-harvesting ability and facilitate the charge separation efficiency, thus finally resulting in an increased photocurrent in the PEC mode. Furthermore, by constructing the portable colorimetric and photothermal sensors based on the Arduino microcontroller and photothermal imager, the TiO2/ZIF-8/CuS also provided point-of-care and visual detection modes, as the in situ-formed CuS exhibited peroxidase-mimicking activity and outstanding photothermal properties. The work had important prospects for establishing multimode immunoassays for the accurate detection of cancer markers in early disease diagnosis.

Abstract
In this work, simple and sensitive detection of dengue virus serotype-3 (DENV-3) antigen was accomplished by a one-dimensional (1D) HKUST-1-functionalized electrochemical sensor. 1D HKUST-1 was synthesized via a coprecipitation method using triethanolamine (TEOA) as pH modulator and structure-directing agent. The structure, morphology, and sensing performance of the HKUST-1-decorated carbon electrode were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). We found that 40 wt% TEOA transforms the octahedron HKUST-1 to the nanorods while maintaining its crystal structure and providing chemical stability. The 1D HKUST-1-decorated carbon electrode successfully detects the antigen in the range of 0.001-10 ng/mL with a detection limit of 0.932 pg/mL. The immunosensor also exhibits remarkable performance in analyzing the antigen in human serum and showed recovery as high as ∼98% with excellent selectivity and reproducibility.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As one of the most potent environmental estrogens, 17β-estradiol (E2), which can be enriched into organisms through the food chain and cause harmful biological effects in humans, has been frequently detected in the water environment of the world. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and gas chromatograohy-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) have been widely used for quantification of E2. Despite excellent accuracy, tedious pretreatment and expensive instruments result in their limited application. It is clear that there is an urgent need to establish simple, sensitive and accurate methods for the determination of E2. RESULTS A split aptamer-based sandwich-type ratiometric biosensor based on split aptamer was developed by coupling photoelectrochemical and electrochemical assays for E2 detection. For analysis, the two fragments of split aptamer recognized E2 by forming sandwich structure, which triggered hybridization chain reaction (HCR) to produce double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) with CdTe quantum dots (QDs) labeled hairpin DNA. The resultant dsDNA can further absorb methylene blue (MB) to sensitize CdTe QDs for an enlarged photocurrent (IPEC) and output a redox current of IMB, and both of them acted as response signals for detection; [Fe(CN)6]3-/4- probe produced redox current of I[Fe(CN)6]3-/4- as reference signal. Using IMB/I[Fe(CN)6]3-/4- and IPEC/I[Fe(CN)6]3-/4- as yardsticks, the developed split aptamer-based sandwich-type ratiometric biosensor provides two linear ranges of 0.1-5000 pg mL-1 for IMB/I[Fe(CN)6]3-/4- and 0.1-10000 pg mL-1 for IPEC/I[Fe(CN)6]3-/4- with detection limits of 0.06 pg mL-1 and 0.02 pg mL-1, respectively. SIGNIFICANCE These results of the biosensor are benefiting from the coupling of photoelectrochemical (PEC) and electrochemical (EC) assays as well as the unique cooperative recognition mechanism of split aptamer. This method not only enabled the biosensor to be successfully applied to the determination of E2 in lake water, but also broadens the prospects for the realization of sensitive and accurate detection of E2.

Abstract
Nanozymes have attracted widespread attention, and rationally designing high-activity nanozymes to improve their application performance are a long-term objective. Herein, taking metal-organic frameworks-derived Co3O4 polyhedron with large surface area and high porosity as nanoconfinement carriers, Co3O4@MnO2@CDs polyhedron was successfully synthesized by the room-temperature reduction of MnO4- ions and physical load of carbon dots (CDs). Through cancer cells-triggered double antibody sandwich strategy, the Co3O4@MnO2@CDs polyhedron were introduced to the TiO2 nanoparticle (NPs) modified electrode, leading to the decreased photocurrent. The Co3O4@MnO2@CDs polyhedron can not only quench the photocurrent of TiO2 NPs, also act as nanozymes to catalyze precipitates. Moreover, the precipitates can not only reduce the photoelectrochemical (PEC) response, also increase the quenching capacity of the Co3O4@MnO2@CDs polyhedron. Additionally, the steric hindrance effect of the Co3O4@MnO2@CDs-Ab conjugates further weaken the photocurrent. Based on the multifunctional Co3O4@MnO2@CDs polyhedron, the proposed PEC biosensor for the detection of A549 cancer cells exhibits a wide linear range from 102 to 106 cells/mL and a low detection limit of 11 cells/mL. Furthermore, this strategy can differentiate between lung cancer patients and healthy individuals. The designed multifunctional Co3O4@MnO2@CDs nanozymes provide a new horizon for PEC detection of cancer cells, and may have great potential in early clinical diagnosis and biomedical research.

Abstract
Multiple targets analysis in complex samples is of great importance in medical and health sciences. Limited by independent laborious operational procedures, multiple targets determination remains a challenge. Herein, we report an "OR" logic gate multiplexed photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor based on "one pot" recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) strategy. "One pot" RPA triggers exponential growth of multiple DNA in complex samples. Subsequently, the amplification products interact separately with lambda exonuclease (λ exo) or Cas12a-crRNA. Following the multiple targets recognition event, the dual enzyme-mediated cleavage separates the signal labels from the photocathode. The resulting photocurrent change is utilized for logical discrimination and detection. The feasibility of the sensor is verified by analyzing the two typical duplex DNA (high-risk human papillomaviruses (HPV)). Ultralow detection limit (0.088 fg/μL, 0.081 fg/μL) with broad detection range (0.1 fg/μL to 10 ng/μL, 0.1 fg/μL to 1 ng/μL) for HPV16 and HPV18 are obtained. Eliminating instrumentation constraints (light source/potential modulation) and simplifying operation procedures, this work opens an avenue for developing multiplexed sensing devices for clinical diagnosis and disease treatment.

Abstract
Ethyl carbamate, a substance frequently occurring in fermented foods, seriously affects people's health; however, poor sensitivity constrains the development of ethyl carbamate sensors. In this work, hierarchical Bi2S3/MXene nanosheets were synthesized using a hydrothermal method, and experimentally their coupled UV light is an efficient NH3 sensing material. Meanwhile, the density functional theory (DFT) confirms that the MXene/Bi2S3 nanosheet interface has an excellent ability to adsorb NH3, resulting in a change of photocurrent. As a proof-of-concept, a highly sensitive ethyl carbamate photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensor was constructed based on the ammonia generation strategy of glutamate dehydrogenase coupled to the branched hybridization chain reaction (bHCR). Specifically, the target-triggered bHCR enriches a large number of enzyme-encapsulated liposomes, while the enzymatic NH3-generation reaction will cause a change in the Bi2S3/MXene photocurrent, which completes the target detection process. Under optimal conditions, the constructed PEC biosensors exhibited superior analytical performance toward ethyl carbamate in the range of 0.01 μg/mL to 1 μg/mL and limit of detection (LOD) down to 0.001 μg/mL. In addition, it offers an effective method for food safety monitoring due to its excellent stability, fast response, and maneuverability on real samples (red wine, yellow wine, and brandy).

Abstract
Gastric cancer is a prevalent malignant tumor of the gastrointestinal tract accompanied by a high mortality rate; therefore, early gastric cancer screening is critical for improving patient survival. In this study, we present a facile fluorescence immunoassay for highly sensitive screening of pepsinogen I (PG I) based on a one-pot biomimetic mineralization process for the synthesis of gold nanocluster-anchored manganese dioxide (AuNCs/MnO2) nanosheets. MnO2 first quenches the fluorescence of AuNCs through the Förster resonance energy transfer effect, whereas the introduction of ascorbic acid (AA) leads to the decomposition of MnO2 and rapidly recovers the fluorescence of AuNCs. Based on the above principles and phenomena, we developed a sensitive fluorescence immunoassay for the in situ generation of AA to detect PG I. Specifically, in the presence of PG I, the sandwich-type immunoreactivity-enriched alkaline phosphatase-labeled secondary antibody catalyzes the production of AA from the substrate, which enhances the fluorescence intensity. Under optimized conditions, the fluorescence intensity increased linearly with the concentration of PG I (0.05 to 200 ng mL-1) with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.013 ng mL-1 (S/N = 3). The designed sensing platform has good stability (more than one year) and excellent anti-interference capability and demonstrates satisfactory accuracy for detection in real samples compared to commercial ELISA kits.

Abstract
Photocurrent polarity switchable photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensing has superior accuracy and anti-interference ability to conventional PEC sensing. The development of a novel strategy for photocurrent polarity switchable sensing is of great interest. Herein, a novel strategy for photocurrent polarity switchable sensing is reported by regulating electrostatic interactions between two semiconductor photoactive materials. Hyaluronic acid (HA)-modified CuO nanosheets show a negatively charged surface, which prevents the attachment of CuO nanosheets to negatively charged CdS nanodendrite-modified photoelectrodes because of the strong electrostatic repulsion. In the presence of hyaluronidase (HAase), the specific hydrolysis of HA on the surface of CuO by HAase can yield a positively charged surface, so CuO can be attached to a CdS-modified photoelectrode via electrostatic attraction, leading to photocurrent polarity switching. The photocurrent polarity switchable detection of HAase activity is achieved with an ultralow detection limit of 2 × 10-3 U mL-1 and a wide linear detection range between 0.01 and 100 U mL-1. This work provides a new and effective photocurrent polarity switching strategy for PEC sensing and a simple and efficient method for detecting HAase activity.

Abstract
The contamination of food by pathogens is a serious problem in global food safety, and current methods of detection are costly, time-consuming, and cumbersome. Therefore, it is necessary to develop rapid, portable, and sensitive assays for foodborne pathogens. In addition, assays for foodborne pathogens must be resistant to interference resulting from the complex food matrix to prevent false positives and negatives. In this study, hemin and reduced graphene oxide-MoS2 sheets (GMS) were used to design a near-infrared (NIR)-responsive photoelectrochemical (PEC) aptasensor with target-induced photocurrent polarity switching based on a hairpin aptamer (Hp) with a G-quadruplex motif. A ready-to-use analytical device was developed by immobilizing GMS on the surface of a commercial screen-printed electrode, followed by the attachment of the aptamer. In the presence of Escherichia coli O157:H7, the binding sites of Hp with the G-quadruplex motif were opened and exposed to hemin, leading to the formation of a G-quadruplex/hemin DNAzyme. Crucially, after binding to hemin, the charge transfer pathway of GMS changes, resulting in a switch of the photocurrent polarity. Further, G-quadruplex/hemin DNAzyme enhanced the cathodic photocurrent, and the proposed sensor exhibited a wide linear range ((25.0-1.0) × 107 CFU/mL), a low limit of detection (2.0 CFU/mL), and good anti-interference performance. These findings expand the applications of NIR-responsive PEC materials and provide versatile PEC methods for detecting biological analytes, especially for food safety testing.

Abstract
Cation exchange (CE) is a burgeoning method for controlled crystal synthesis; however, its applications in bioanalysis are still in their infancy. Herein, we explored the transformation of ZnIn2S4 in properties after the CE reaction with Cu2+ ions; furthermore, the discrepancy was employed to design a dual-readout detection system of photothermal and polarity-switchable photoelectrochemical (PEC) immunoassays to realize reliable detection of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). In the presence of CEA, the CuO nanoparticles (CuO NPs) employed as dual-signal response probes would bond to the microplates and be acidolyzed by HCl to release Cu2+, which could replace Zn2+ and In3+ via the CE reaction. After the CE reaction is completed, the photocurrent would switch from a weak anodic photocurrent to a cathode one by using a 635 nm laser as a signal amplifier, while the photothermal signal would be enhanced with 808 nm laser illumination. On the basis of the polarity-switchable PEC strategy, CEA could be accurately detected from 0.1 to 50 ng mL-1 with a limit of detection (LOD) of 48 pg mL-1 (S/N = 3). Moreover, the photothermal assay for CEA detection possesses a linear range from 0.5 to 100 ng mL-1 with a LOD of 0.21 ng mL-1. In addition, the designed sensing platform only relies on devices with portability that are permitted for point-of-care detection.

Abstract
It has recently been discovered that, like other members of the Cas family (12a and 13a), the clustered regularly interspaced short palindrome repeat CRISPR-Cas14a system not only mediates high-sensitivity detection with exceptionally strong gene editing ability but is also generally useful for DNA detection via fluorescence. Photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensors have been widely applied as efficient analytical tools. Measuring electrical signals is more cost-effective and the necessary equipment is more easily portable than fluorescence signal detectors, but their stability still needs to be improved. The high base resolution of CRISPR-Cas14a can compensate for such shortcomings. Therefore, electrical signals and fluorescence signals were combined, and the development of a universal CRISPR-Cas14a-responsive ultrasensitive upconversion PEC sensor is described in this paper. Moreover, strand displacement amplification (SDA) and a near-infrared (NIR) light source were utilized to further improve the stability and sensitivity of the photoelectric signals. At the same time, the modified working electrode (UCNPs-ssDNA-CdS@Au/ITO) on the three-electrode disposable sensor was used as the reporter probe, which cooperates with the trans-cleavage activity of Cas14a endonuclease. To verify the universality of this sensor, the UCNPs-Cas14a-based PEC sensor was applied for the detection of the small-molecule toxin T2 and protein kinase PTK7. Here, we report that the limit of detection of this reagent was within the fg range, successfully applied to the detection of T2 in oats and PTK7 in human serum. We propose that by combining PEC and CRISPR-14a, UCNPs-Cas14a-based PEC sensors could become powerful drivers for the extensive development of ultrasensitive, accurate and cost-effective universal sensors for detection and diagnosis.

Abstract
Photoelectrochemical (PEC) immunoassay has been widely developed for biomarker detection, but most include heavy and expensive instruments that are not suited for portable and on-site detection. In this work, the PEC immunoassay platform for mobile phones was reported for flexible, rapid, low-cost detection of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). The PEC detection platform was successfully composed of disposable screen-printed carbon electrodes, a micro-electrochemical workstation, a flashlight (the excitation light source), and a smartphone with a companion software with a micro-electrochemical workstation for rapid and on-site detection of target biomarkers. In this portable smartphone-based PEC system, the S-scheme heterojunction BiOCl/CuBi2O4 was effectively excited due to the efficient electron transfer rate and excellent photocurrent response under visible light. Specifically, the sandwich-type immunoreaction for capturing target biomarkers introduced alkaline phosphatase (ALP) labeled gold nanoparticles (Au NPs). The addition of CEA increased the ascorbic acid (AA) content and enhanced the photocurrent. The proposed immunoassay presented a good linear with the logarithm of CEA concentrations range within 0.01-40 ng mL-1, and the detection limit of 3.5 pg mL-1 (S/N = 3). Therefore, the portable detection platform offered an implementable approach to the development of miniaturized and portable photoelectrochemical detectors and on-site detection technology.

Abstract
Prussian blue (PB) is a typical peroxidase mimic with simple preparation, low cost and high eco-friendliness, but it still has drawbacks of poor stability (e.g., decomposition in aqueous dispersions) and intrinsic optical interference (e.g., high extinction coefficient over a wide wavelength range) in colorimetric assays. Herein, we used nitrocellulose (NC) membranes as synthesis hosts of PB nanoparticles (NPs) to develop a new type of three-dimensional (3D) porous nanozyme pad. By means of an in situ synthesis route, PB NPs were uniformly grown on the surfaces of the fiber scaffolds with desirable stability, which also avoided signal interference from PB NPs owing to the easy handling of the pads in a quantitative solid state. The pads showed significant peroxidase-mimicking activity toward the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) with the output of colorimetric signals. Based on the reduction of oxidized TMB (oxTMB) by dopamine (DA), the pads were exploited for simple and quantitative colorimetric detection of DA with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.59 μM and a satisfactory accuracy for analysis of real human urine samples. This is the first attempt at exploiting NC membranes as the synthesis hosts to develop nanozyme pads, which solves the above drawbacks of traditional PB-based peroxidase mimics and has promise for various colorimetric bioanalyses, given the structural benefits of NC membranes and their broad applications in biosensors.

Abstract
Efficient tuning of the polarity of photoactive nanomaterials is of great importance in improving the performance of photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensing platforms. Herein, polarity of the Ag2S/AgInS2 heterojunction is converted by radical-induced positive feedback polydopamine (PDA) adhesion, which is further employed to develop a signal-switchable PEC biosensor. In the nanocomposites, Ag2S and AgInS2 achieve electron-hole separation, exhibiting a strong anodic PEC response. Under the irradiation of light, the Ag2S/AgInS2 heterojunction is able to produce superoxide radical and hydroxyl radical intermediate species, leading to the polymerization of dopamine (DA) and the subsequent adhesion of PDA onto the Ag2S/AgInS2 heterojunction (Ag2S/AgInS2@PDA). By constructing a new electron-transfer pathway with PDA, the polarity of the Ag2S/AgInS2 heterojunction is converted, and the PEC response changes from anodic to cathodic photocurrents. In addition, since the photoreduction activity of PDA is stronger than that of the Ag2S/AgInS2 heterojunction, more superoxide radical can be produced by Ag2S/AgInS2@PDA once PDA is generated, thereby promoting the generation of PDA. Consequently, a positive feedback mechanism is established to enhance the polarity conversion of the Ag2S/AgInS2 heterojunction and amplify the responding to DA. As a result, the bioanalytical method is capable of sensitively quantifying DA in 10 orders of magnitude with an ultralow limit of detection. Moreover, the applicability of this biosensor in real samples is identified by measuring DA in fetal bovine serum and compared with a commercial ELISA method. Overall, this work offers an alternative perspective for adjusting photogenerated carriers of nanomaterials and designing high-performance PEC biosensors.

Abstract
Photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensing enables the rapid, accurate, and highly sensitive detection of biologically important chemicals. However, achieving high selectivity without external biological elements remains a challenge because the PEC reactions inherently have poor selectivity. Herein, we report a strategy to address this problem by regulating the charge-transfer pathways using polymeric carbon nitride (pCN)-based heterojunction photoelectrodes. Interestingly, because of redox reactions at different semiconductor/electrolyte interfaces with specific charge-transfer pathways, each analyte demonstrated a unique combination of photocurrent-change polarity. Based on this principle, a pCN-based PEC sensor for the highly selective sensing of ascorbic acid in serum against typical interferences, such as dopamine, glutathione, epinephrine, and citric acid was successfully developed. This study sheds light on a general PEC sensing strategy with high selectivity without biorecognition units by engineering charge-transfer pathways in heterojunctions on photoelectrodes.

Abstract
The proof-of-concept of sensitive electrochemical immunoassay for the quantitative monitoring of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is reported. The assay is carried out on iron nitrogen-doped carbon (FeNC) nanozyme-modified screen-printed carbon electrode using chronoamperometry. Introduction of target HER2 can induce the sandwiched immunoreaction between anti-HER2 monoclonal antibody-coated microplate and biotinylated anti-HER2 polyclonal antibody. Thereafter, streptavidin-glucose oxidase (GOx) conjugate is bonded to the detection antibody. Upon addition of glucose, 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) is oxidized through the produced H2O2 with the assistance of GOx and FeNC nanozyme. The oxidized TMB is determined via chronoamperometry. Experimental results revealed that electrochemical immunosensing system exhibited good amperometric response, and allowed the detection of target HER2 as low as 4.5 pg/mL. High specificity and long-term stability are acquired with FeNC nanozyme-based sensing strategy. Importantly, our system provides a new opportunity for protein diagnostics.

Abstract
In this study, a novel dual-mode aptamer sensor was developed using Fca-DNA2 as the quenching electrochemiluminescence (ECL) and electrochemical (EC) signal response probe, and Ru-MOF/Cu@Au NPs were used as the ECL substrate platform to detect Alternariol (AOH) via a competitive reaction between AOH and Fca-DNA2. Compared with the conventional aptamer sensor with a single detection signal, this dual-mode aptamer sensor has the following advantages: (1) Electrodeposition-based rapid synthesis Ru-MOF on the electrode surface. (2) The Signal amplification substance Cu@Au NPs can synergistically catalyze Triethanolamine (TEOA) to amplify ECL behavior. (3) The aptamer sensor employs the dual-functional material Fca, which can detect both ECL and EC signals, increasing the result accuracy. Both ECL and EC methods have excellent detection performance for AOH in the detection range of 0.1 pg/mL to 100 ng/mL, with detection limits of 0.014 and 0.083 pg/mL, respectively, and are expected to be used for sensitive AOH detection in real samples.

Abstract
Semiconductor-based photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensors have garnered significant attention in the field of disease diagnosis and treatment. However, the recognition units of these biosensors are mainly limited to bioactive macromolecules, which hinder the photoelectric response due to their insulating characteristics. In this study, we develop an in situ-sensitized strategy that utilizes a small-molecule probe at the interface of the photoelectrode to accurately detect α-glucosidase (α-Glu) activity. Silane, a prototype small-molecule probe, was surface-modified on graphitic carbon nitride to generate Si nanoparticles upon reacting with hydroquinone, the enzymatic product of α-Glu. The in situ formed heterojunction enhances the light-harvesting property and photoexcited carrier separation efficiency. As a result, the in situ-sensitized PEC biosensor demonstrates excellent accuracy, a low detection limit, and outstanding anti-interference ability, showing good applicability in evaluating α-Glu activity and its inhibitors in human serum samples. This novel in situ sensitization approach using small-molecule probes opens up new avenues for developing simple and efficient PEC biosensing platforms by replacing conventional biorecognition elements.

Abstract
In this work, based on a dual signal amplification strategy of enzyme-assisted signal amplification (EASA) and catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA), combined with the magnetic attraction effect, a capillary pump-driven surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) microfluidic chip (LoC-SERS) platform was developed for the sensitive detection of colorectal cancer-associated (CRC) microRNA (miRNA). During the detection process, the miRNA first undergoes an EASA reaction with hairpin DNA1 (hpDNA1) under the action of endonuclease, which generates a large amount of DNA2 cyclically. After that, DNA2 triggers the CHA reaction to proceed, which leads to the ligation of the SERS nanoprobes and the capture nanoprobes (hpDNA2-hpDNA3 complexes). Finally, as the reactant solution flows through the collection zone, the end products are magnetically attracted by the micro-magnets, generating many "hot spots" and leading to a triple amplification of the SERS signal. By quantitative analysis, the platform achieved ultra-low detection limits of miR-122 (4.26 aM) and miR-192 (4.71 aM) within a linear range of 10 aM-10 pM. In addition, the platform's results for clinical samples are highly consistent with those measured by qRT-PCR methods. Overall, the proposed LoC-SERS platform is expected to be an important tool for the early screening of CRC.

Abstract
The development of a photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor for the sensitive and rapid detection of glucose is highly desirable. In PEC enzyme sensors, inhibition of the charge recombination of electrode materials is an efficient technique, and detection in visible light can prevent enzyme inactivation due to ultraviolet irradiation. In this study, a visible light-driven PEC enzyme biosensor was proposed, using CDs/branched TiO2 (B-TiO2) as the photoactive material and glucose oxidase (GOx) as the identification element. The CDs/B-TiO2 composites were produced via a facile hydrothermal method. Carbon dots (CDs) can not only act as photosensitizers but also inhibit photogenerated electron and hole recombination of B-TiO2. Under visible light, electrons in the carbon dots flowed to B-TiO2 and further to the counter electrode through the external circuit. In the presence of glucose and dissolved oxygen, H2O2 generated through the catalysis of GOx could consume electrons in B-TiO2, causing a decrease in photocurrent intensity. Ascorbic acid was added to ensure the stability of the CDs during the test. Based on the variation of the photocurrent response, the CDs/B-TiO2/GOx biosensor presented a good sensing performance of glucose in visible light, its detection range was from 0 to 9.00 mM, and the detection limit was 0.0430 mM.

Abstract
Herein, we presented a dual-readout gasochromic immunosensing platform for accurate and sensitive detection of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) based on Ag-doped/Pd nanoparticles loaded MoO3 nanorods (Ag/MoO3-Pd). Initially, the presence of analyte CEA would prompt the formation of sandwich-type immunoreaction, accompanied by the introduction of Pt NPs labeled on detection antibody. Upon the addition of NH3BH3, the product hydrogen (H2) will interact with Ag/MoO3-Pd as a bridge between the sensing interface and the biological assembly platform. Both photocurrent and temperature signals can serve as readouts due to the significantly increased PEC performance and enhanced photothermal conversion capability of H-Ag/MoO3-Pd (the product of Ag/MoO3-Pd react with H2) compared to Ag/MoO3-Pd. In addition, the DFT results show that the band gap of Ag/MoO3-Pd becomes narrower after the reaction with H2, thus improving the utilization of light, which theoretically explains the internal mechanism of gas sensing reaction. Under optimal conditions, the designed immunosensing platform showed good sensitivity for CEA detection with the limit of detection (LOD) of 26 pg mL-1 (photoelectrochemical mode) and 98 pg mL-1 (photothermal mode). This work not only presents the possible reaction mechanism of Ag/MoO3-Pd and H2, but also creatively applicate it in photothermal biosensors that give a new path for devising dual-readout immunosensor.

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.

Abstract
This review links various areas of inorganic chemistry around the themes developed by our research group during the last four decades. It is firstly based on the electronic structure of iron sandwich complexes, showing how the metal electron count dictates their reactivities, with various applications (via C-H activation, C-C bond formation) as reducing and oxidizing agents, redox and electrocatalysts and precursors of dendrimers and catalyst templates through bursting reactions. Various electron-transfer processes and consequences are explored, including the influence of the redox state on the acidity of robust ligands and the possibility to iterate in situ C-H activation and C-C bond formation to build arene-cored dendrimers. Examples of how these dendrimers are functionalized are illustrated using the cross olefin metathesis reactions, with application to the synthesis of soft nanomaterials and biomaterials. Mixed and average valence complexes give rise to remarkable subsequent organometallic reactions, including the salt influence on these reactions. The stereo-electronic aspect of these mixed valencies is pointed out in star-shaped multi-ferrocenes with a frustration effect and other multi-organoiron systems, with the perspective of understanding electron-transfer processes among dendrimer redox sites involving electrostatic effects and application to redox sensing and polymer metallocene batteries. Dendritic redox sensing is summarized for biologically relevant anions such as ATP2- with supramolecular exoreceptor interactions at the dendrimer periphery in parallel with the seminal work on metallocene-derived endoreceptors by Beer's group. This aspect includes the design of the first metallodendrimers that have applications in both redox sensing and micellar catalysis with nanoparticles. These properties provide the opportunity to summarize the biomedical (mostly anticancer) applications of ferrocenes, dendrimers and dendritic ferrocenes in biomedicine (in particular the contribution from our group, but not only). Finally, the use of dendrimers as templates for catalysis is illustrated with numerous reactions including C-C bond formation, click reactions and H2 production reactions.

Abstract
Self-powered photocatalytic fuel cell (PFC)-based sensors incorporating bioelement recognition with fuel concentration-dependent output power have been developed for electrochemical analysis, but most involve poor energy conversion efficiency and are unsuitable for routine use. Herein, a self-powered and self-checking PFC bioanalysis platform under visible light for ultrasensitive screening of Ochratoxin A (OTA) was designed. Specifically, the self-powered photocatalytic fuel cell-based sensor was comprised of a photoanode fabricated with MXenes (Ti3C2)-TiO2 and a cathode modified with Prussian blue (PB). To realize the high-performance of OTA detection, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) were used as nanocontainers to load glucose, and aptamers were assembled on the surface of MSNs as dual-gated molecules to form signal probes. The reaction of analyte OTA with OTA aptamer was greater than the force between OTA aptamer and MSN, resulting in the release of glucose from MSNs. The released glucose was photo-oxidized by Ti3C2-TiO2 under visible light illumination and used as an electron acceptor to reduce PB, resulting in a high cell output response with a maximum output power (Pmax) of 23.516 μW cm-2. Meanwhile, the electrochromic PB enabled colorimetric detection of OTA with self-checking. The self-powered Ti3C2-TiO2-based PFC with target-recognition cargo release system exhibited superior analytical performance toward OTA in the range of 0.2 ppb-20 ppb and limit of detection (LOD) down to 0.0587 ppb. Additionally, excellent stability, rapid response, and exquisite selectivity for real samples (beer) was acceptable, providing an efficient approach in food safety monitoring.

Abstract
The fabrication of various sensing devices and the ability to harmonize materials for a higher degree of organization is essential for effective sensing systems. Materials with hierarchically micro- and mesopore structures can enhance the sensitivity of sensors. Nanoarchitectonics allows for atomic/molecular level manipulations that create a higher area-to-volume ratio in nanoscale hierarchical structures for use in ideal sensing applications. Nanoarchitectonics also provides ample opportunities to fabricate materials by tuning pore size, increasing surface area, trapping molecules via host-guest interactions, and other mechanisms. Material characteristics and shape significantly enhance sensing capabilities via intramolecular interactions, molecular recognition, and localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR). This review highlights the latest advancements in nanoarchitectonics approaches to tailor materials for various sensing applications, including biological micro/macro molecules, volatile organic compounds (VOC), microscopic recognition, and the selective discrimination of microparticles. Furthermore, different sensing devices that utilize the nanoarchitectonics concept to achieve atomic-molecular level discrimination are also discussed.
