Abstract:
The complex synthesis of photoelectric materials and the difficulty of fixing the identification elements on the photoelectrode are long-standing problems in the field of photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensing. In this work, a simple PEC aptasensor construction strategy based on a sulfur-doped g-C3N4 (SCN)/n-GaN heterostructure photoelectrode was proposed. The SCN/n-GaN heterostructure can be formed through self-assembly in solution since SCN can be uniformly dispersed in solution. In addition, as a dual-function mediate, an aptamer can be fixed on an SCN substrate automatically because of the good adsorption performance of SCN. Therefore, tedious steps of PEC electrode preparation and the fixing of recognition elements were both avoided. Compared with the traditional ones, the construction difficulty and time cost of the prepared PEC aptasensors are greatly reduced. The simplified experimental process improves the stability and reproducibility of the aptasensor. Finally, tetracycline (TET) was used as a model target to verify the sensing performance of the proposed PEC strategy. TET can consume the photogenerated holes of the SCN/n-GaN heterostructure, promote carrier migration, and result in the change in the photocurrent. The linear relationship between the change in the photocurrent intensity and the TET concentration can be used to detect TET. The aptasensor has a linear range of 0.10-10.0 nmol L-1 and the detection limit is 0.030 nmol L-1 (3S/N). The aptasensor was applied to the detection of TET in milk samples with satisfactory results. © 2022 American Chemical Society
