A ultrasensitive split-type photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor was constructed for ampicillin (AMP) detection, utilizing a metal-organic framework (MOF)-confined InS/PCN-224 Z-scheme heterojunction as the photoactive material. The prepared InS/PCN-224 was demonstrated with high charge separation efficiency and a stable PEC signal response due to the unique electron flow direction of the Z-scheme configuration. To further enhance the detection sensitivity, target-mediated in-situ ion exchange via Cd ions was employed to modulate the photoactivity of InS/PCN-224. In the presence of AMP, the aptamers labeled with CdCO were released from the DNA double-strand and then dissociated into Cd ions after acid treatment. Ion exchange reactions will occur upon introducing the solution into the InS/PCN-224 surface. Another photoactive material may be produced on the electrode surface to amplify the original PEC signal. The resulting split-type PEC sensor exhibited an impressive linear range (0.5-200 ng mL) with a low limit of detection (LOD, 0.09 pg mL, S/N = 3). This work presents a promising strategy for the development of PEC biosensors, offering practical applications in the environmental analysis of antibiotics.

Highly efficient photoelectroactive materials with simple synthesis are essential for photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensing. This study reports a facile hydrothermal synthesis of ZnInS/TiO type II heterojunctions on FTO, creating a robust sensing platform. The favorable band energy alignment between ZnInS and TiO enhances charge transfer and charge carrier separation under illumination, resulting in a 24-fold photocurrent increase compared to TiO.

A photocurrent enhancing photoelectrochemical (PEC) immunosensor was developed for chloramphenicol (CAP) detection based on cation exchange reaction. The efficient split-type PEC immunosensor combined with controlled-release strategy was established using the ZnInS/TiO/TiC MXene (ZIS/T/M) composite as the photoactive material and CuO as the signal response probe. In the presence of target CAP, CuO-labeled CAP antibody (CuO-mAb) was introduced onto the microplate via a competitive-type immunoassay.
