RESUMO
Timely and rapid detection of antibiotic residues in the environment is conducive to safeguarding human health and promoting an ecological virtuous cycle. A foldable paper-based photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor was successfully developed for the detection of ampicillin (AMP) based on glutathione/zirconium dioxide hollow nanorods/aptamer (GSH@ZrO2 HS@apt) modified cellulose paper as a reactive zone with laser direct-writing lead sulfide/cadmium sulfide/graphene (PbS/CdS/LIG) as photoelectrode and cobalt hydroxide (CoOOH) as a photoresist material. Initially, AMP was introduced into the paper-based reaction zone as a biogate aptamer, which specifically recognized the target and then left the ZrO2 HS surface, releasing glutathione (GSH) encapsulated inside. Subsequently, the introduction of GSH into the reaction region and etching of CoOOH nanosheets to expose the PbS/CdS/LIG photosensitive material increased photocurrent. Under optimal conditions, the paper-based PEC biosensor showed a linear response to AMP in the range of 5.0 - 2 × 104 pM with a detection limit of 1.36 pM (S/N = 3). In addition, the constructed PEC sensing platform has excellent selectivity, high stability and favorable reproducibility, and can be used to assess AMP residue levels in various real water samples (milk, tap water, river water), indicating its promising application in environmental antibiotic detection.

A photocurrent-polarity-switching photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensor was developed for the ultrasensitive detection of tobramycin (TOB) through bipedal DNA walker amplification with hemin-induced photocurrent-polarity-switching using a laser-induced zinc oxide/graphene (ZnO/LIG) photoelectrode. Specifically, the ZnO/LIG photoelectrode was synthesized in situ by a laser direct writing (LDW) technique. In the presence of TOB, it reacted with HP1 and HP2 and the DNA walker response was activated to form a stable hemin/G-quadruplex. Furthermore, hemin induced a polarity shift in the photocurrent signal. The developed analytical platform exhibited excellent photoelectron transport performance of ZnO/LIG, the signal amplification effect of the DNA walker strategy, and the photocurrent-polarity-switching ability of hemin. Therefore, it demonstrated satisfying photocurrent responses to the target TOB within the working range of 20 nM-1.0 µM at a low detection limit of 5.43 nM. The PEC platform exhibited good stability, reproducibility, sufficient sensitivity and high selectivity for complex experimental samples. Moreover, the photocurrent-polarity-switching PEC biosensor improved the anti-interference ability and avoided false positives or negatives.
