A novel dual-model photoelectrochemical/electrochemical sensor based on Z-scheme TiO2 disks/methylene blue for kanamycin detection

Abstract

Herein, a new dual-model photoelectrochemical (PEC)/electrochemical (EC) sensor based on Z-scheme titanium dioxide (TiO2) disk/methylene blue (MB) sensibilization for the detection of kanamycin (Kana) was developed. Metal–organic framework-derived porous TiO2 disks were synthesized and exhibited excellent anodic photocurrent under visible light excitation. Subsequently, amino-labeled double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) was introduced into the modified electrode. Photocurrent was enhanced with MB embedded in dsDNA to form Z-scheme TiO2/MB sensibilization. When the target, Kana, was present, it specifically bound to the aptamer in the dsDNA, leading to the disruption of the dsDNA structure and the release of MB. This release of MB and the increase in target spatial resistance resulted in a significant weakening of PEC signal and a decreased oxidation peak current of MB. The PEC sensor successfully detected Kana in the range of 2–1000 pM with an LOD of 0.17 pM. Meanwhile, the EC sensor for Kana detection showed a linear range of 5–500 pM with an LOD of 1.8 pM. Additionally, the sensor exhibited excellent selectivity, reproducibility, stability, and good recoveries when applied to milk and honey samples. As a result, this method has the potential for application in ensuring food safety through the rapid determination of antibiotics in food.
