Constructing Photoactive Au NP/MXene-BiOCl Moiré Superlattice Nanosheets for Photoelectrochemical Detection of Protein Kinase Activity.

A novel photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensor was proposed by preparing Au NP/MXene-BiOCl Moiré superlattice nanosheets as the probes. Upon irradiation with visible light, the probe exhibited excellent electrical conductivity as well as high photoelectric conversion efficiency. Benefitting from the excellent PEC property of the hybrid probe, sensitive and accurate detection of protein kinase activity was demonstrated with a limit of detection of 0.0029 U mL-1. This study verifies the great PEC potential of MXene hybrid nanomaterials.
