A Cu

In this work, on the basis of a Cu2+-doped two-dimensional material-based heterojunction photoelectrode, a novel anodic photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensing platform was constructed for highly sensitive detection of endogenous H2S. Briefly, with g-C3N4 and TiO2 as representative materials, the sensor was fabricated by modifying g-C3N4/TiO2 nanorod arrays (NAs) onto the surface of fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) and then doping Cu2+ as a Cu x S (x = 1, 2) precursor. After the binding of S2- with surface-attached Cu2+, the signal was quenched owing to the in situ generation of Cu x S which offers trapping sites to hinder generation of photocurrent signals. Since the photocurrent inhibition was intimately associated with the concentration of S2-, a highly sensitive PEC biosensor was fabricated for H2S detection. More importantly, the proposed sensing platform showed the enormous potential of g-C3N4/TiO2 NAs for further development of PEC bioanalysis, which may serve as a common basis for other semiconductor applications and stimulates the exploration of numerous high-performance nanocomposites.
