Description

A photoelectrochemical (PEC) aptasensor is described for detecting tetracycline (TC). A gold nanoparticles/BiOBr (AuNPs/BiOBr) composite was prepared where the AuNPs play a key function in carrier transfer which is ascribed to the wavelength-dependent dual function as an electron sink and as a hot-electron donor. Due to this dual function, the composite exhibits a wide photo-response and high electron transfer efficiency. This results in enormously enhanced PEC response. The TC-aptamer was immobilized on an ITO modified with AuNPs/BiOBr via Au-S covalent bonding. The resulting PEC aptasensor possesses a wide linear range (1–104 ng L−1) and a low detection limit (0.35 ng L−1; at S/N = 3).
