Abstract
In this work, a new photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensing platform based on an ordered two-dimensional (2D) ultrathin covalent organic framework (COF) film and AgInS2 quantum dots (QDs) has been developed to enable dual-target detection of HIV and CEA. The porous COF film was firstly in situ generated on ITO, displaying super-stable and intense photocurrent with excellent repeatability. Moreover, an effective PEC quenching probe was specifically designed by loading large number of AgInS2 QDs on Au nanoparticles (NPs). After target HIV-induced cyclic amplification process to generate abundant DNA S0, the Au NPs-AgInS2 QDs probe was binded to the COF film through DNA hybridization, enabling PEC signal of the COF film to turn “off” for ultra-sensitive detection of HIV. Furthermore, when CEA as the second target specifically binded to its aptamer, the Au NPs-AgInS2 QDs quenching probe was released, achieving PEC signal “on” of the T-DA COF film for ultra-sensitive detection of CEA. This work opened a unique 2-D COF film-based PEC biosensing platform with excellent signal for rapid detection of dual targets, which can effectively avoid false positives and negatives and shows promising application for early prevention and detection of cancer diseases.
