Enhanced photoelectrochemical biosensing performance for Au nanoparticle–polyaniline–TiO2 heterojunction composites

A new photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensing platform comprising TiO2 nanotube arrays (TiONTAs), polyaniline (PANI), and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) was successfully fabricated. After loading the enzyme, this Au–PANI–TiONTA electrode showed excellent response to glucose at a linear range of 2–36 mM with a 0.02 mM detection limit. Good PEC performance was obtained due to the following advantages of the material: high visible-light harvesting ability for excellent light trapping capacity of PANI and AuNPs, good separation of the photo-induced charges related to the specific Au–PANI–TiONTA heterostructure, efficient electrode surface reaction kinetics derived from the large specific surface area of TiONTAs and improved electrode catalytic activity. This work proposed a new and general PEC enzymatic format and can be extended to prepare different PEC biosensors for biomolecules such as DNA, proteins and substrates of oxidases.
