Abstract
Ultrasensitive and accurate physiological monitoring is of great significance for disease diagnosis and treatment. In this project, an efficient photoelectrochemical (PEC) split-type sensor on the basis of controlled release strategy was established with great success. Heterojunction formation between g-C3N4 and Zn-doped CdS improved the visible light absorption efficiency, reduced carrier complexation, improved the PEC signal, and increased the stability of the PEC platform. Compared to the traditional model of immunosensors, the process of antigen-antibody specific binding was done in a 96 microplate, and the sensor separated the immune reaction from the photoelectrochemical conversion process, eliminating mutual interference. Cu2O nanocubes were used to label the second antibody (Ab2), and acid etching using HNO3 released a large amount of divalent copper ions, which exchanged cations with Cd2+ in the substrate material, causing a sharp drop in photocurrent and improving the sensitivity of the sensor. Under the optimized experimental conditions, the PEC sensor based on the controlled release strategy for CYFRA21-1 target detection had a wide concentration linear range of 5 × 10−5 to 100 ng/mL with a low detection limit of 0.0167 pg/mL (S/N = 3). This intelligent response variation pattern could also offer the possibility of additional clinical applications for other target detection.
