传感器类型
光电化学生物传感器
检测对象
谷胱甘肽(glutathione, GSH);样品基质:人血液/红细胞裂解液
检测原理
UV照射多孔TiO2-Pt纳米须修饰电极时,TiO2吸收光能产生电子-空穴对;Pt纳米颗粒在TiO2表面形成肖特基势垒,捕获光生电子并抑制电子-空穴复合,使空穴在界面富集。空穴作为强氧化剂氧化GSH,乙酰化二茂铁(AF)作为电化学介质促进电子转移,降低氧化过电位并放大阳极电流。GSH浓度越高,界面氧化反应越强,产生的氧化电流/光电流越大。多孔结构提供高比表面积,增强反应位点与传质,从而实现光电催化信号放大。

英文摘要
The performance of TiO(2) nanoparticles is extremely attractive in various areas of chemical and biochemical engineering as they can effectively work by combining the photocatalytic property with various superior properties of the related nanostructure. The relevant photoelectrochemical detection has attracted considerable interest and shown potential applications in a wide range of areas. In this study, we have prepared new nanowhiskers of platinum-doped titanium dioxide (TiO(2)-Pt), which could be further used to fabricate a novel nanointerface for the sensitive detection of biomolecules including glutathione (GSH). Our observations demonstrate that the sensitive TiO(2)-Pt nanowhiskers biointerface could be readily fabricated by casting the TiO(2)-Pt nanowhiskers suspension on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE), which could readily combine the photocatalytic and eletrocatalytic properties of TiO(2) nanocomposites to introduce a novel photoelectrocatalytic biosensor for GSH detection in real samples. Compared to other analysis strategies, the TiO(2)-Pt nanowhiskers-modified GCE showed a considerably high sensitivity for the detection of GSH due to the excellent photoelectrocatalytic ability of the porous TiO(2)-Pt nanowhiskers. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman spectroscopy, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy have shown that Pt can readily blend with porous TiO(2) nanowhiskers and facilitate the relevant catalysis property of TiO(2), resulting in the enhanced photoelectrocatalytic effect. Thus, through the new strategy of the utilization of the excellent photoelectrocatalytic property of TiO(2)-Pt nanocomposites, it is possible to realize the rapid electrochemical detection of glutathione with high sensitivity, low cost, and good reproducibility.
