Abstract
Uric acid (UA) monitoring is the most effective method for diagnosis and treatment of gout, hyperuricemia, hypertension, and other diseases. However, challenges remain regarding detection efficiency and rapid on-site detection. Here, we first synthesized a CdS/Au/TiO2-NTAs Z-scheme heterojunction material using a titanium dioxide nanotube array (TiO2-NTAs) as the substrate and modified with gold nanoparticles (Au) and cadmium sulfide particles (CdS). This material achieves bandgap alignment to generate a large number of electron-hole pairs under illumination. Then, using CdS/Au/TiO2-NTAs as the working electrode and molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP) as the recognition unit, we constructed a portable photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor for non-invasive instant detection of UA concentration in human saliva, which has unique advantages in the field of high-sensitivity PEC instant detection. The portable MIP-PEC sensor achieves a linear range of 0.01-50 μM and a detection limit as low as 5.07 nM (S/N = 3). At the same time, the portable MIP-PEC sensor exhibits excellent sensitivity, specificity as well as stability, and shows no statistically significant difference compared to traditional high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) in practical sample detection. Compared to traditional PEC modes, this work demonstrates a novel and universal method for high-sensitivity instant detection in the field of PEC.
