abstract: Abstract Photoelectrochemical (PEC) bioanalysis is a newly developed exquisite methodology for innovative biomolecular detection. Photocathodes made by p type semiconductors have different photoelectric properties from that of n type semiconductors based photoanodes. Due to their obvious advantages and potentials, the integration of PEC bioanalysis and photocathodes has opened almost unlimited possibilities for elegant cathodic PEC bioanalysis. Currently, the impetus for advanced cathodic PEC bioanalysis has grown tremendously as demonstrated by increased research papers. Using illustrative examples, this review discusses specifically on this topic, with the aim to cover the basic concept, major signaling strategies, the state of the art in this field, and the future prospects based on our own opinions.

abstract: Previously reported copper oxide based cathodic photoelectrochemical bioanalysis of cysteine had attributed the decrease of the photocurrents to the binding of cysteine onto the CuO surface. However, our latest investigation found that the previous explanation was not correct. This Letter presents the in depth study of such phenomena and a new insight into the underlying mechanism. Specifically, the unique redox reaction between the CuO photocathode and cysteine produced [Cys Cu(I) and cystine, and the insoluble complex blocked the partial contact between the photoelectrode and the dissolved O2 containing electrolyte and reduced the effective working area of the photocathode, leading to the decrease of photocurrent.

abstract: This work reports the liposome mediated in situ formation of the AgI/Ag/BiOI Z scheme heterojunction on foamed nickel electrode for signal on cathodic photoelectrochemical (PEC) bioanalysis. Specifically, in a proof of concept study, Ag nanoparticle encapsulated liposomes were initially confined via the sandwich immunobinding and then processed to release numerous Ag+ ions, which were then directed to react with the BiOI/Ni electrode, resulting in the in situ generation of a AgI/Ag/BiOI Z scheme heterojunction on the electrode. The enhanced cathodic signal could be correlated to the target concentration, which thus underlays a novel signal on cathodic liposomal PEC bioanalysis strategy. Different from previous anodic liposomal PEC bioanalysis, this work features the first cathodic liposomal PEC bioanalysis on the basis of the in situ formation of a Z scheme heterojunction. More generally, integrated with various biorecognition events, this protocol could serve as a common basis for addressing numerous targets of interest.

abstract: We report herein the energy transfer (ET) between semiconducting polymer dots (Pdots) and gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) in a photoelectrochemical (PEC) system and its feasibility for cathodic bioanalysis application. Specifically, COOH capped Pdots were first fabricated and then assembled onto the indium tin oxide (ITO) surface, followed by the modification of single strand (ss) DNA probe (pDNA) After the DNA hybridization with the Au NP tethered complementary ssDNA (Au NP tDNA) the Au NPs were brought into the close proximity of Pdots. Upon light stimulation, photoluminescence (PL) was annihilated, fluorescence was attenuated, and the photocurrent intensity was evidently decreased. This ET based PEC DNA sensor exhibited a linear range from 1 fM to 10 pM with a detection limit of 0.97 fM at a signal to noise ratio of 3. The present work first exploited the ET between Pdots and Au NPs, and we believe this phenomenon will spark new interest in the study of various Pdots based ET influenced PEC systems and thus catalyze increasing studies for specific bioanalytical purposes.

abstract: Abstract In this study, we report the development of indirect Z scheme heterojunction to construct a cathodic photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor for highly selective detection of endogenous H2S using AgCl Ag core shell nanostructures coupled with porous carbon nitride (PCN) as cathode materials. As an electron mediator, Ag on the Z scheme heterojunction transformed to Ag2S in the presence of H2S, resulting in the destruction of original charge carrier migration pathway. Meanwhile, photo induced charges on the then formed AgCl Ag2S/PCN cannot be as effectively separated as they are on AgCl Ag/PCN due to the straddling energy band alignments. A decrease in cathodic signal may be expected. Consequently, the H2S concentration could be quantitated by such corresponding decrease, which thus underlines a novel signal off cathodic PEC bioanalysis strategy. More importantly, the 'Z scheme' PEC sensor based on AgCl Ag/PCN exhibits analytical performance with high sensitivity, showing its potential to be applied to the areas of biomedical and health care etc.

abstract: Abstract Cathodic photoelectrochemical (PEC) bioanalysis has been drawing more attention in recent years due to the advantages of excellent anti interference capability. l cysteine (Cys) is an essential sulfur containing amino acid and has been intensively addressed as targets in previous anodic PEC bioanalysis. Herein a novel and simple cathodic PEC l cysteine (Cys) sensor is reported, on the basis of facile electrochemical fabrication of CuO/Cu2O heterojunction photocathode and the selective interaction between the copper and Cys via the formation of Cu S bond. The as prepared sensor exhibited excellent biosensing performance in terms of high sensitivity, selectivity and stability. In such a sensor, the binding induced decrease of cathodic photocurrent can be related to target concentration from 0 and 1.5 mM. This cathodic PEC Cys sensor exempted the use of expensive equipment and required no laborious sensor development procedures. We hope it can inspire more interest for further development of simple and practical PEC sensor toward important biomolecules.

abstract: In this study, a coumarin appended cyclometalated iridium (III) complex was prepared and demonstrated to be an efficient photoelectrochemical (PEC) active species with stable and reproducible cathodic photocurrent illuminated by visible light. A gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) based PEC probe was assembled using the as prepared iridium (III) complex as signal reporter. Integrating aptamer/protein proximity binding triggered strand displacement and catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) amplification strategy, an enzyme free and sensitive PEC assay was developed. Benefiting from superior photon to current conversion character of the iridium (III) complex and effective amplification strategy, the proposed assay exhibited enhanced sensitivity for thrombin detection with a detection limit of 23 fM. It also showed a high specificity in serum samples. This study further demonstrated that cyclometalated iridium (III) complexes could be adopted as favorable photoactive material for bioanalysis by improving their ability of absorbance in the visible region.

abstract: Most of the photoelectrochemical (PEC) bioassays need to immobilize biomolecules on electrodes, which lead to tedious modification processes, damaged biomolecules, as well as crippled sensitivity/accuracy and low throughput of the performances. To overcome these drawbacks, we now introduce an exquisitely split mode (which separates the bioreaction (performed in microplates) from the PEC detection (conducted in PEC cell) cathodic photoelectrochemistry for probing versatile biocatalytic events with high throughput. Specifically, the enzymatically in situ generated 1,2 bezoquinone was covalently attached onto the PbSe quantum dots (QDs) modified indium tin oxide (ITO) (ITO/PbSe) photocathode through the connector of chitosan (CS) And the attached 1,2 bezoquinone acted as an efficient electron acceptor to promote the cathodic photocurrent of the ITO/PbSe electrode, enabling us to probe quinones generating oxidoreductase (by taking horseradish peroxidase (HRP) as a model) coupled biocatalytic cascades including the alkaline phosphatase (ALP)/HRP and the glucose oxidase (GOx)/HRP cascades. Quantitative probing for ALP activity in a wide linear range of 5.0 x 10 3 to 10 U/L with the detection limit of 1.2 x 10 3 U/L was realized. While a wide linear range of 5.0 x 10 8 to 1.0 x 10 4 moL/L with a quite low detection limit of 1.0 x 10 8 moL/L was obtained for the glucose assay. In addition, this testing protocol was also extended to an immunoassay (taking carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) as an example) using HRP as a catalytic tracer. The developed bioassays show high sensitivity and good selectivity for CEA detection in the linear range from 0.1 pg/mL to 100 ng/mL with a detection limit of 0.02 pg/mL. Moreover, the proposed detection has distinctive merits because it not only avoids the adverse effects of the surface confined biomolecules for crippling the signal transduction, but also it has enhanced throughput.
