Abstract
A ternary ECL system was constructed with Ce2Sn2O7@MSN composite as luminophore, potassium persulfate as co-reactant and Au@NiO-CeO2 as co-reaction accelerator to realize ultra-sensitive biosensing detection of prostate specific antigen (PSA). The abundant oxygen vacancies in Ce2Sn2O7 endow it with powerful electrochemical redox ability, accelerate energy transfer, and ensure Ce2Sn2O7 excellent electrochemical luminescence performance as a luminophore. Furthermore, to optimize the luminescence energy, enhance stability, and reduce the background signal to improve its signal-to-noise ratio, a highly selective Ce2Sn2O7@MSN biological probe was obtained by coating cerium stannate (Ce2Sn2O7) with mesoporous silica nanospheres (MSN). Au@NiO-CeO2 with a large specific surface area and high oxygen vacancy activity was synthesized as the co-reaction accelerator, which promoted the generation of SO4•− through the rapid reversible oxidation and reduction of Ce4+/Ce3+, thereby the ECL signal amplified effectively. Under optimal conditions, the linear detection range of PSA spans from 100fg mL−1 to 100 ng mL−1, with a remarkable lowest detection limit of 0.037pg mL−1, showcasing significant application potential. This study provides a valuable reference for pyrochlore to be used as luminophore in the detection of various biomarkers by ECL biosensing.
