An enhanced charge transfer between BiVO4 and Au nanoparticles was utilized to develop a turn-on photoelectrochemical biosensor for sensitive detection of target DNA. The biosensor showed a linear range from 1 aM to 10 pM with a detection limit of 0.2 aM, making it a promising platform for ultrasensitive DNA detection.
An enhanced charge transfer between BiVO4 and Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) was utilized to design a turn-on photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensor for sensitive detection of target DNA. The calcination of BiVO4 on indium tin oxide (ITO) substrate was integrated with Au nanoparticles (NPs) labelled probe DNA (pDNA-AuNPs) as photoelectrode (ITO/BiVO4/pDNA-AuNPs). The cathodic photocurrent increased due to the coupling BiVO4 with AuNPs, which acted as the blank signal of this PEC platform. The probe specifically recognized and captured the target DNA (tDNA) to form double strain DNA (dsDNA) after hybridization. The photocurrent intensity of the ITO/BiVO4/dsDNA-AuNPs photoelectrode further increased due to the enhancement of the charge transfer be-tween BiVO4 and AuNPs through dsDNA chain. This photocurrent enhancement was linear proportional to the logarithm of tDNA concentration. Based on this strategy, the PEC assay displayed a linear range from 1 aM to 10 pM and the detection limit was as low as 0.2 aM (S/N = 3). It provides a promising platform for ultrasensitive target DNA detection, and thus shows a great potential in genetic disease or cancer diagnostics and infectious pathogen detection.
