Abstract:
Photoelectrochemical (PEC) enzymatic biosensors integrate the excellent selectivity of enzymes and high sensitivity of PEC bioanalysis, but the drawbacks such as high cost, poor stability, and tedious immobilization of natural enzymes on photoelectrodes severely suppress their applications. AgCu@CuO aerogel-based photoelectrode materials with both remarkable enzyme-like activities and outstanding photoelectric properties were innovatively designed and synthesized to evaluate the activity of xanthine oxidase with a wide linear detection range and a low limit of detection.
