Journal of Electrochemistry

Due to the independent form of the light source and detection system, photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor has the advantages of low background, high sensitivity and simple operation. So far, PEC systems have been widely used in the fields including the actual detection of metal ions, biological antibodies or antigens in environmental pollutants. When the photosensitive material is irradiated by a light source with an energy being equal to or greater than its band gap, electrons (e-) transition occurs from the valence band to the conduction band, leaving a hole (h+), at the same time, the generated electron-hole pair (e-/h+) separate, and …
