Abstract
Conventional photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensors suffer from the difficulty of visualizing rapid detection and limited accuracy due to a single-signal output. Here, we develop a PEC, electrochromic (EC), and spectral (ST) triple-mode platform for the sensitive visualized detection of nonylphenol (NP). First, the reasonably stepped Fermi energy level arrangement between the defective TiO2 anode and MoO3 cathode enables a remarkable photocurrent response (Mode 1). Then, MoO3 itself is a widely used EC candidate, which can react with free Li-ions to form a LixMoO3 intermediate, and its color will change from white to blue accordingly (Mode 2). More importantly, MoO3 is also a Li-ion host and the potential of LixMoO3 depends on the inserted Li-ion quantity deduced by spectral analysis on residual Li-ions in the electrolyte (Mode 3). The EC signal endows fast visual detection, and triple-mode cross-validation improves reliability and accuracy. As a result, this PEC-EC-ST triple-mode molecularly imprinted sensor has a wide linear range (1-5000 μg L-1), a low detection limit (0.18 μg L-1), selectivity, stability, reproducibility, and actual sample detection capability. This innovative multimode platform not only improves detection reliability but also broadens applications of electrochromic/energy storage materials in biosensors.

Abstract
In this paper, WO3 nanowires were successfully synthesized via a one-step water bath method at an appropriate temperature. The XRD (Energy Dispersive Spectrometer), SEM (Scanning electron microscope), TEM (Transmission Electron Microscope) and other characterization methods proved that the synthesized product was WO3, and the product of water bath reaction for 9 h showed the nanowires’ structure. The nanowires were evenly distributed, and the length ranged from 2 μm to 4 μm. The results showed that the nanowires had excellent light transmittance (66%), a very short response time (1.2 s, 2 s) and excellent color rendering efficiency (115.2 cm2 C−1) at 650 nm. The electrochemical performance test showed that the specific capacity of the WO3 nanowires was up to 565 F/g at 1 A/g. Change the different current densities and cycle 100 times, then return to the initial current density, accounting for 99% of the initial specific capacity of 565 F/g. We used this method for the first time to prepare tungsten oxide nanowires and investigated the bifunctional properties of the material, namely the electrochromic and capacitive properties. All of these data indicate that WO3 nanorods have excellent electrochromic and electrochromic properties and have potential market prospects in the fields of electrochromic glass, variable glasses, advertising, and supercapacitors.
