A sandwich "signal-off" type photoelectrochemical (PEC) immunosensor was fabricated based on a composite heterojunction of tungsten oxide/titanium oxide microspheres (WO/TiO) acting as signal amplification platform and carbon microspheres loaded by gold nanoparticles (Cs@Au NPs) utilized as the label for detecting antibody. WO/TiO had excellent photoelectric performance, and the results of Mott-Schottky plots, open-circuit voltage, and electron spin resonance spectroscopy indicated that it belonged to the Z-scheme heterojunction transfer mechanism of photogenerated carriers. To achieve the sensitization of PEC immunosensor, Cs@Au NP-labeled immunocomplex can effectively reduce the photocurrent signal. The PEC immunosensors were fabricated under the optimal conditions of 1:1 WO/TiO (molar ratio), 2.0 mg mL WO/TiO, and 1.5 mg mL Cs@Au NPs. Through comparison of the detection results of label-free and sandwich-type PEC immunosensors for nucleocapsid (N) protein of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), we found that the sensitivity of the sandwich type was 2.53 times the label-free type, and the limit of detection was 0.006 ng mL, i.e., 3.17 times lower than the label-free type. This demonstrates that the developed sandwich-type PEC immunosensor will have a brighter application prospect.
基于氧化钨/氧化钛微球(WO/TiO)复合异质结作为信号放大平台和负载金纳米粒子的碳微球(Cs@Au NPs)作为检测抗体的标记物,构建了三明治“信号关闭”型光电化学(PEC)免疫传感器。WO/TiO 具有优异的光电性能,Mott-Schottky 图、开路电压和电子自旋共振谱的结果表明其属于光生载流子的 Z 型异质结转移机制。为了实现 PEC 免疫传感器的敏化,Cs@Au NP 标记的免疫复合物可以有效降低光电流信号。在 WO/TiO 的最佳条件下(摩尔比为 1:1)、2.0 mg mL WO/TiO 和 1.5 mg mL Cs@Au NPs 下制备了 PEC 免疫传感器。通过比较核衣壳(N)蛋白的无标记和三明治型 PEC 免疫传感器的检测结果,我们发现,夹心型的灵敏度是无标记型的 2.53 倍,检测限为 0.006 ng mL,即比无标记型低 3.17 倍。这表明开发的三明治型 PEC 免疫传感器将具有更广阔的应用前景。
