摘要： A ternary WO3/Au/CdS photocatalyst was prepared by reversible redox and ionic adsorption for the first time. The photocatalyst exhibited high photocatalytic activity and good photoelectrochemical (PEC) property in comparison with WO3, CdS, WO3/Au and WO3/CdS, because the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect of Au nanoparticles (Au NPs) and the sensitization of CdS benefited the spatial separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs and the absorption of visible light. Thus, its photocurrent response intensity was quite high, up to about 218-fold of WO3 and 87-fold of CdS under 430 nm LED light irradiation. Based on the large anodic photocurrent and the specific recognition between carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and anti-CEA, a novel PEC immunosensor was constructed for the sensitive and selective detection of CEA. Under the selected conditions, the change of photocurrent intensity was linear to the logarithm of CEA concentration over the range from 0.01 to 10 ng/mL, and the detection limit was down to 1 pg/mL. The immunosensor also showed good stability, reproducibility and repeatability. It was successfully applied to the detection of CEA in serum samples.
