RESUMEN
Breast cancer poses the significance of early diagnosis and treatment. Here, we developed an innovative photoelectrochemical (PEC) immunosensor characterized by high-level dual photocurrent signals and exceptional sensitivity. The PEC sensor, denoted as MIL&Ag2S, was constructed by incorporating Ag2S into a metal-organic framework of MIL-101(Cr). This composite not only enhanced electron-hole separation and conductivity but also yielded robust and stable dual photocurrent signals. Through the implementation of signal switching, we achieved the combined detection of cancer antigen 15-3 (CA15-3) and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) with outstanding stability, reproducibility, and specificity. The results revealed a linear range for CEA detection spanning 0.01-32 ng/mL, with a remarkably low detection limit of 0.0023 ng/mL. Similarly, for CA15-3 detection, the linear range extended from 0.1 to 320 U/mL, with a low detection limit of 0.014 U/mL. The proposed strategy introduces new avenues for the development of highly efficient, cost-effective, and user-friendly PEC sensors. Furthermore, it holds promising prospects for early clinical diagnosis, contributing to potential breakthroughs in medical detection and ultimately improving patient outcomes.

A photoelectrochemical molecular imprinting sensor based on Au/TiO2 nanocomposite was constructed for the detection of dibutyl phthalate. Firstly, TiO2 nanorods were grown on fluorine-doped tin oxide substrate by hydrothermal method. Then, gold nanoparticles were electrodeposited on TiO2 to fabricate Au/TiO2. Finally, molecular imprinted polymer was electropolymerized on the Au/TiO2 surface to construct MIP/Au/TiO2 PEC sensor for DBP. The conjugation effect of MIP accelerates the electron transfer between TiO2 and MIP, which can greatly improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency and sensitivity of the sensor. In addition, MIP can also provide sites for highly selective recognition of dibutyl phthalate molecules. Under optimal experimental conditions, the prepared photoelectrochemical sensor was used for the quantitative determination of DBP and the results showed a wide linear range (50 to 500 nM), a low limit of detection (0.698 nM), and good selectivity. The sensor was used in a study of real water samples to show that it has promising applications in environmental analysis.
RESUMEN
In this study, a nitrogen-boron codoped carbon layer, Na3V2(PO4)2F3 sample, obtained by using an ionic liquid-acrylic acid copolymer as the nitrogen-boron source was used as the cathode material for sodium-ion batteries. The optimized and modified nitrogen and boron codoped carbon layer, Na3V2(PO4)2F3 (denoted as NVPF-PCNB-20), illustrated better rate capability and cycling performance. The discharge capacities of NVPF-PCNB-20 at 0.5C and 10C were 109 and 90 mAh g-1, respectively, and the capacity retention rate was 93.2% after 100 cycles at 0.5C and 92.8% after 750 cycles at 10C. Through in situ X-ray diffraction analysis of NVPF-PCNB-20, the results show that the modified Na3V2(PO4)2F3 has excellent cycle reversibility. The scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy images reveal that NVPF-PCNB-20 particles were finer and covered by a uniform coating. The results show that the ionic liquid-acrylic acid copolymer not only make the material dispersion more uniform but also enhance the electronic conductivity and sodium storage performance of Na3V2(PO4)3F3 effectively. This study may provide an effective way to synthesize nitrogen and boron codoped carbon-coated Na3V2(PO4)2F3 with excellent electrochemical performance.
RESUMEN
A photoelectrochemical (PEC) aptasensor based on CdSe@SnS2 nanocomposite has been developed to detect sulfamethazine (SMZ). The introduction of CdSe into SnS2 displayed an amplified PEC signal, which was higher than that of pure CdSe and SnS2, attributable to its enhanced light harvesting capacity and promoted PEC energy conversion efficiency. Due to the formation of specific non-covalent bonds, the SMZ-binding aptamer (SBA) has significant specificity and sensitivity. When SMZ was incubated on a CdSe@SnS2 modified electrode fixed with aminated SBA, the formation of the SMZ/SBA complex increased the space resistance of electron transfer and hindered the electronic migration between the electrodes, resulting in a decrease in photocurrent. The greater the adsorbed amount on the SBA, the lower the photocurrent produced. Under optimized conditions the photocurrent response of MCH/SBA/CdSe@SnS2/FTO was inversely proportional to the SMZ concentration in the range 0.1 to 100 pM, with a detection limit (3 S/N) of 0.025 pM (at 0 V vs. Hg/HgCl). The recoveries ranged from 95.8 to 104% with relative standard deviations (RSDs) < 6.3% (n = 3) in actual water sample. This PEC aptasensor which shows considerable potential in SMZ detection applications has high selectivity, reproducibility, and good stability.

Na3V2(PO4)2F3 is a typical NASICON structure with a high voltage plateau and capacity. Nevertheless, its applications are limited due to its low conductivity and poor rate performance. In this study, nitrogen-boron co-doped carbon-coated Na3V2(PO4)2F3 (NVPF-CNB) was prepared by a simple sol-gel method using an ionic liquid (1-vinyl-3-methyl imidazole tetrafluoroborate) as a source of nitrogen and boron for the first time. The morphology and electrochemical properties of NVPF-CNB composites were investigated. The results show that a nitrogen-boron co-doped carbon layer could increase the electron and ion diffusion rate, reduce internal resistance, and help alleviate particle agglomeration. NVPF-CNB-30 exhibited better rate performance under 5C and 10C charge/discharge with initial reversible capacities of 99 and 90 mA h g-1, respectively. Furthermore, NVPF-CNB-30 illustrates excellent cyclic performance with the capacity retention rate reaching 91.9% after 500 cycles at 5C, as well as a capacity retention rate of about 95.5% after 730 cycles at 10C. The evolution of the material's structure during charge/discharge processes studied by in situ X-ray diffraction confirms the stable structure of nitrogen-boron co-doped carbon-coated Na3V2(PO4)2F3. Co-doping of nitrogen and boron also provides more active sites on the surface of Na3V2(PO4)2F3, revealing a new strategy for the modification of sodium-ion batteries.
