光电化学传感器的构建及研究进展

光电化学传感器是以光为激发源,光电流或光电压为检测信号,通过电化学、生物识别等手段定量分析待测物与光电流或光电压之间关系的新型技术。其原理是当光照射到光电活性材料时,材料中的电子受到激发,其上面的识别探针捕获目标分析物,引起光电流或光电压变化。当目标物的浓度变化时,光电信号发生相应的变化,两者之间呈现出函数关系,因此,可以通过光电信号变化,来定量测定目标物。在光电化学传感器中,因其激发源(光)与检测信号(电流或电压)的完全分离极大地减少了背景信号的干扰;又因具有响应快速、灵敏度高、设备简单、价格低廉易于微型化等优点,使光电化学传感器在各大领域备受瞩目。本文介绍了光电化学传感器的基本原理、特点、分类及其应用,并对有代表性的研究和发展前景做了总结和评述。

Label-free homogeneous photoelectrochemical aptasensing of VEGF165 based on DNA-regulated peroxidase-mimetic activity of metal-organic-frameworks

The application of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) nanozymes in biosensing has been extensively investigated, however, till now there is still no report on photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensing based on enzyme memetic properties of MOFs. To further expand the utilization of MOFs nanozymes in biosensing, we developed a label-free homogenous PEC aptasensor for the detection of VEGF₁₆₅, an important cancer biomarker, based on the DNA-regulated peroxidase-mimetic activity of Fe-MIL-88, a type of MOFs. In this strategy, the peroxidase-mimetic property of MOFs is integrated with the label-free homogeneous PEC sensing approach, and highly sensitive detection of VEGF₁₆₅ is obtained with a detection limit down to 33 fg/mL, superior or comparable to the previously reported values. Moreover, this approach displays outstanding specificity, and has been successfully used to detect VEGF₁₆₅ added in diluted serum samples. As far as we know, it is the first example to employ the peroxidase-like activity of MOFs in PEC biosensing, which may find potential application in bioanalysis and early disease diagnosis.

A derivative photoelectrochemical sensing platform for 4-nitrophenolate contained organophosphates pesticide based on carboxylated perylene sensitized nano-TiO2

A novel visible light sensitized photoelectrochemical sensing platform was constructed based on the perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic acid/titanium dioxide (PTCA/TiO₂) heterojunction as the photoelectric beacon. PTCA was synthesized via facile steps of hydrolysis and neutralization reaction, and then the PTCA/TiO₂ heterojunction was easily prepared by coating PTCA on nano-TiO₂ surface. The resulting photoelectric beacon was characterized by transmission electron microscope, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometry, FTIR spectroscopy, and ultraviolet and visible spectrophotometer. Using parathion-methyl as a model, after a simple hydrolyzation process, p-nitrophenol as the hydrolysate of parathion-methyl could be obtained, the fabricated derivative photoelectrochemical sensor showed good performances with a rapid response, instrument simple and portable, low detection limit (0.08 nmol L⁻¹) at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3, and good selectivity against other pesticides and possible interferences. It had been successfully applied to the detection of parathion-methyl in green vegetables and the results agreed well with that by GC–MS. This strategy not only extends the application of PTCA, but also presents a simple, economic and novel methodology for photoelectrochemical sensing.     

Biological sensing using transmission surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy

Ultrathin gold island films evaporated on transparent substrates offer promising transducers for chemical and biological sensing in the transmission surface plasmon resonance (T-SPR) mode. In the present work, the applicability of T-SPR-based systems to biosensing is demonstrated, using a well-established biological model system. Au island films were evaporated on polystyrene slides and modified with a biotinylated monolayer via a multistep surface reaction, the latter assisted by the good adhesion of metal islands to polystyrene. The biotin-derivatized Au island film was then used as a biological recognition surface for selective sensing of avidin binding, distinguishing between specific and nonspecific binding to the substrate. Transduction of the binding event into an optical signal was achieved by T-SPR spectroscopy, using plasmon intensity measurements, rather than wavelength change, for maximal sensitivity and convenience. T-SPR spectroscopy of Au island films is shown to be an effective tool for monitoring the binding of biological molecules to receptor layers on the Au surface and a promising approach to label-free optical biosensing.     

基于Zr-MOFs光电化学传感用于同型半胱氨酸的检测

以4-羧基苯基卟啉（TCPP）作为配体,金属锆（Zr）作为配位金属,通过水热法合成Zr-MOFs。以Zr-MOFs材料作为光电活性材料构建了阴极光电化学传感器用于检测同型半胱氨酸（Hcy）。当λ > 420 nm的氙灯光源照射Zr-MOFs时,处于价带（VB）上的电子（e^-）跃迁至导带（CB）,并在价带上产生空穴（h⁺）,从而产生光电流。同型半胱氨酸的加入会阻碍电子的传递,从而造成阴极光电流降低。当目标物浓度为10 ~ 100 nmol·L^-1和100 ~ 1000 nmol·L^-1时,光电流信号变化值与目标物浓度呈线性关系,且检出限为2.17 nmol·L^-1,制备的传感器具有良好的稳定性和选择性。
