Oxygen vacancy-regulated TiO2 nanotube photoelectrochemical sensor for highly sensitive and selective detection of tetracycline hydrochloride

Hong Cui et al.

Summary: Investigation into the mechanism of oxygen vacancy-regulated photoelectrochemical sensors for highly sensitive and selective detection of biomolecules with electron-donating groups is an innovative research field. This study synthesized oxygen vacancy-regulated TiO2 nanotube arrays with high photoelectrochemical activity and applied them to detect tetracycline hydrochloride. The synergistic effect of oxygen vacancies and Ti3+ in the nanotube arrays led to increased generation of photogenerated carriers, while the adsorption of tetracycline hydrochloride consumed the oxygen vacancies and decreased the photocurrent response of the sensor. The sensor showed excellent linearity in the range of 0.1-1000 nM and high selectivity for tetracycline hydrochloride determination.
