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
Dielectrophoresis (DEP) is a versatile tool for the precise microscale manipulation of a broad range of substances. To unleash the full potential of DEP for the manipulation of complex molecular-sized particulates such as proteins requires the development of appropriate theoretical models and their comprehensive experimental verification. Here, we construct an original DEP platform and test the Hölzel-Pethig empirical model for protein DEP. Three different proteins are studied: lysozyme, BSA, and lactoferrin. Their molecular Clausius-Mossotti function is obtained by detecting their trapping event via the measurement of the fluorescence intensity to identify the minimum electric field gradient required to overcome dispersive forces. We observe a significant discrepancy with published theoretical data and, after a very careful analysis to rule out experimental errors, conclude that more sophisticated theoretical models are required for the response of molecular entities in DEP fields. The developed experimental platform, which includes arrays of sawtooth metal electrode pairs with varying gaps and produces variations of the electric field gradient, provides a versatile tool that can broaden the utilization of DEP for molecular entities.

Abstract
TiO2 was grown on both ends of gold nanorods (AuNRs) to form a dumbbell-shaped heterostructure (called AuNRs@end-TiO2) first, and then assembled on the fluorine tin oxide (FTO) electrode surface through hydrophobic interactions to construct a concise photoelectrochemical microRNA-21 (miRNA-21, model target) biosensor using carbon dots (CDs) as photosensitizers. Hairpin probes (HPs) were fixed on the AuNRs@end-TiO2-modified FTO electrode surface through the Au-S bond, and CDs-modified complementary DNA (CDs-cDNA) served as photosensitive probes. In the presence of the target, miRNA hybridized with the HP and triggered double-strand-specific nuclease to cleave the complementary part of the HP with miRNA, and miRNA was released, which can trigger another cycle to realize signal amplification. Many HPs were cleaved and the complementary sequence with cDNA was exposed, which can capture the photosensitive probes to the electrode surface and resulted in photocurrent enhancement. The photocurrent intensity system has a linear relationship with the logarithm of the miRNA concentration in the range of 0.1 fM to 100 pM with a low detection limit of 96 aM (S/N = 3). The biosensor has high sensitivity, good selectivity, and good reproducibility and shows satisfactory results in actual sample detection.

Abstract
In this work, a simple and highly sensitive photoelectrochemical (PEC) aptasensor has been developed for detecting PCB72 based on TiO2 nanotubes (NTs) decorated with BiVO4 nanoparticles (NPs). The BiVO4 NPs-TiO2 NTs composites prepared through a simple hydrothermal method exhibit good visible-light adsorption ability, high PEC response and perfect photo-excited stability. The synthesized composites were explored as the photoactive sensing materials for development of a PEC sensing platform for the first time. Here, Au nanoparticles (NPs) were first deposited the composites, and the anti-PCB72 aptamer molecules were immobilized on the Au NPs-deposited BiVO4 NPs-TiO2 NTs. The developed PEC aptasensor exhibits high sensitivity and specificity for PCB72 with a wide linear range from 1 ng/L to 500 ng/L and a low detection limit of 0.23 ng/L. The application of the aptasensor was evaluated by determining PCB 72 in the environment water samples. Thus, a simple and efficient PEC sensing platform was established for detecting the content of PCBs in the environment.

Abstract
An ultrasensitive photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensor was constructed based on gold nanoparticles (Au NPs)/tungsten sulfide nanorod array (WS2 NA) photoelectrode as the PEC matrix and silver nanoparticles/flake-like zinc metal-organic framework (Ag/ZnMOF) nanozyme with the peroxidase mimetic enzyme property for sensitive detection of bleomycin (BLM). In particular, Au/WS2 and Ag/ZnMOF were linked by thiolate DNA1 and DNA2 strand, respectively, and the Au/WS2-Ag/ZnMOF probe was prepared via hybridization reaction between the two DNAs. The introduction of Ag/ZnMOF in the probe offers two functions: i) the steric hindrance effect can effectively impede electron transport and reduce the photocurrent; ii) Ag/ZnMOF nanozyme can also be used as mimic peroxidase to effectively catalyze 3,3-diaminobenzidine (DAB) to produce the relevant precipitation, which will further reduce photocurrent and eliminate false positive signals. When BLM exists, BLM with Fe2+ as irreversible cofactor can specifically recognize and cleave of the 5'-GC-3' active site of DNA2, resulting in reduced precipitation deposited on the electrode and recovery of PEC signal. The highly sensitive PEC biosensor exhibits a the linear strategy from 0.5 nM to 500 nM with a detection limit down to 0.18 nM. Further, the unique strategy was conducted in biological samples for BLM detection with satisfactory consequence, offering available and efficient pathway for disease diagnosis.

Abstract
A photocathode is described for the determination of microRNA-21 by using CuInS2 as an active photocathode material. Exonuclease III assisted target recycling amplification was employed to enhance the detection sensitivity. The TATA-binding protein (TBP) was applied to enhance steric hindrance which decreases the photoelectrochemical intensity. This strategy is designed by combining the anti-interference photocathode material, enzyme assisted target recycling amplification and TBP induced signal off, showing remarkable amplification efficiency. Under the optimized conditions, the detection limit for microRNA-21 is as low as 0.47 fM, and a linear range was got from 1.0 × 10-15 M to 1.0 × 10-6 M. Graphical abstract Schematic representation of sensitive photoelectrochemical detection of microRNA-21.CuInS2 is used as an active photocathode material.

Abstract
The photoelectrochemical (PEC) signal can be enhanced by constructing sensitization structures containing photoactive materials and appropriate sensitizers. However, usually, the photoactive materials and sensitizers were separated in independent nanostructures, thereby producing long electron-transfer path and large energy loss, which could further result in limited photoelectric conversion efficiency and PEC signals. Herein, we designed a novel sensitization nanostructure simultaneously containing the photoactive material cerium dioxide (CeO2) and its sensitizer CdTe quantum dots (QDs) as the strong PEC signal indicator (CdTe QD-CeO2 complex), which prominently enhanced photoelectric conversion efficiency because of the shortened electron-transfer path and reduced energy loss. The proposed CdTe QD-CeO2 complex was used to construct a PEC biosensor for achieving ultrasensitive determination of microRNA-141 (miRNA-141) coupling with target converting amplification and DNA supersandwich structure amplification. The designed PEC biosensor demonstrated a wide linear range from 0.5 fM to 5 nM with a detection limit of 0.17 fM for miRNA-141. Impressively, this work provided a new and strong PEC signal indicator for the construction of PEC sensing platform and would extend the application of PEC sensors in bioanalysis and early disease diagnosis.

Abstract
Under near-infrared (NIR) light of 810 nm wavelength for irradiation, a very simple and highly sensitive photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensing platform has been established using the localized surface plasmon resonance effect of Au nanoparticles (NPs) as signal amplification for the nondestructive analysis of living cells. The water-dispersible Ag2S quantum dots (QDs) synthesized by a one pot method were employed as photoelectrochemically active species, and they exhibited excellent PEC properties irradiated with NIR light which was chosen due to the obvious absorption and fluorescent emission in the NIR light region. After the incorporation of Au NPs on the Ag2S QDs modified ITO electrode, the photoelectric conversion efficiency was greatly increased, at ∼2.5 times that of the pure Ag2S QDs modified electrode. Additionally, 4-mercaptophenylboronic acid (MPBA) molecules, as recognition elements, self-assembled on the electrode surface through Au-S bonds. On the basis of the chemical reaction between sialic acid on the cytomembranes and boric acid of MPBA, the very simple PEC biosensing platform was used for the quantitative determination of MCF-7 cells and dynamic evaluation of cell surface glycan expression under the external stimulus of sialidase. Under NIR light of 810 nm and a potential of 0.15 V, this proposed strategy exhibited a wide linear range from 1 × 102 to 1 × 107 cells/mL, with an experimental detection limit of 100 cells/mL. Importantly, this work provided a promising application for NIR Ag2S QDs coupled with Au NPs in the development of a novel PEC biosensing platform for the nondestructive analysis of biological samples.

Abstract
In this work, a label-free photoelectrochemical (PEC) aptasensor was developed for adenosine detection based on CdS/PPy/g-C3N4 nanocomposites. The CdS/g-C3N4 heterojunction effectively prevented the photogenerated charges recombination of g-C3N4 and self-photocorrosion processes of CdS, improving photo-to-current conversion efficiency. The introduced polypyrrole (PPy) nanoparticles could lead to a more effective separation of photogenerated charges, thus resulting in a further increasing of photocurrent. The CdS/PPy/g-C3N4 was firstly employed as the photoactive materials for fabrication of aptasensor, and SH-aptamer was then adsorbed on the CdS/PPy/g-C3N4 modified electrodes through S-Cd bond. With increasing of adenosine concentration, the photocurrent decreased as the formation of SH-aptamer-adenosine bioaffinity complexes. Under optimal conditions, the PEC aptasensor had a sensitive response to adenosine in a linear range of 0.3nmolL(-1) to 200nmolL(-1) with a detection limit of 0.1nmolL(-1). Besides, the as-proposed aptasensor has also been applied in human serum samples analysis. The aptasensor exhibits high sensitivity and good stability, thus opening up a new promising PEC platform for some other small molecules analysis.

Abstract
A novel visible-light photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensor based on localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) enhancement and dye sensitization was fabricated for highly sensitive analysis of protein kinase activity with ultralow background. In this strategy, DNA conjugated gold nanoparticles (DNA@AuNPs) were assembled on the phosphorylated kemptide modified TiO2/ITO electrode through the chelation between Zr(4+) ions and phosphate groups, then followed by the intercalation of [Ru(bpy)3](2+) into DNA grooves. The adsorbed [Ru(bpy)3](2+) can harvest visible light to produce excited electrons that inject into the TiO2 conduction band to form photocurrent under visible light irradiation. In addition, the photocurrent efficiency was further improved by the LSPR of AuNPs under the irradiation of visible light. Moreover, because of the excellent conductivity and large surface area of AuNPs that facilitate electron-transfer and accommodate large number of [Ru(bpy)3](2+), the photocurrent was significantly amplified, affording an extremely sensitive PEC analysis of kinase activity with ultralow background signals. The detection limit of as-proposed PEC biosensor was 0.005 U mL(-1) (S/N = 3). The biosensor also showed excellent performances for quantitative kinase inhibitor screening and PKA activities detection in MCF-7 cell lysates under forskolin and ellagic acid stimulation. The developed dye-sensitization and LSPR enhancement visible-light PEC biosensor shows great potential in protein kinases-related clinical diagnosis and drug discovery.
