Cascade electronic band structured zinc oxide/ bismuth vanadate/ three-dimensional ordered macroporous titanium dioxide ternary nanocomposites for enhanced visible light photocatalysis
摘要: Ternary zinc oxide/ bismuth vanadate/ three-dimensional ordered macroporous titanium dioxide (ZnO/BiVO4/3DOM TiO2) heterojuncted nanocomposites with cascade electronic band structures were successfully designed and synthesized for visible light photodegradation of two different molecules: Rhodamine B (RhB) and Tartrazine. The photocatalytic active species have been investigated by using electron scavenger (AgNO3) and hole scavenger (Triethanolamine: TEOA). The band edge positions of each component in tenary nanocomposites have been measured by using photoelectrochemical Mott-Schottky method and valence band XPS (VB-XPS) spectroscopy. Within the heterojunction, charges are favorably and spatially separated through the gradient potential at the interfaces. This largely suppresses the recombination of photogenerated electrons and holes. Furthermore, 3DOM inverse opal structure is beneficial for high diffusion efficiency and highly accessible surface area of reactants and light and multiple scattering for light harvesting. Consequently, these heterojuncted nanocomposites exhibit highly enhanced photocatalytic performance compared with pure BiVO4 nanostructure, and binary BiVO4/3DOM TiO2, ZnO/BiVO4 nanocomposites. A detailed mechanism of charge transfer is proposed for these ternary ZnO/BiVO4/3DOM TiO2 nanocomposites on the basis of a large series of spectroscopic and photocatalytic results. Our work demonstrates clearly that coupling multicomponent semiconductors with different energy levels of conduction and valence bands can significantly increase the photogenerated charge carriers through the efficient charge separation across their multiple interfaces. This work gives some new ideas on developing new visible light responsive nanocomposites for highly efficient solar energy utilization.

A TiO2/g-C3N4/CdS Nanocomposite-Based Photoelectrochemical Biosensor for Ultrasensitive Evaluation of T4 Polynucleotide Kinase Activity
摘要: Herein, an efficient photoelectrochemical (PEC) platform was constructed by a co-sensitization strategy with a cascade energy level arrangement for the ultrasensitive evaluation of T4 polynucleotide kinase (T4 PNK). Based on CdSe quantum dots (QDs) with an extremely narrow bandgap, this co-sensitization strategy offered a highly efficient sensitizer with a matching band-edge level of a ternary TiO2/g-C3N4/CdS nanocomposite. In this protocol, the ternary nanocomposite was first prepared to serve as the matrix to construct the PEC sensing platform. On the other hand, a well-designed hairpin DNA1 probe with 5’-hydroxyl termini was specifically phosphorylated by T4 PNK which would be selectively cleaved with lambda exonuclease (λ-Exo) outputting 3’-thiol end ssDNA2. After tagged with CdSe QDs, ssDNA2 was captured by the complementary capture DNA3 on the electrode surface. As a result, CdSe QDs were in close contact with the ternary nanocomposite matrix, leading to an enhanced photocurrent response. Therefore, this proposed PEC platform displayed an analytical performance with a wide linear range from 0.0001 to 0.02 U mL-1 and a low detection limit down to 6.9 × 10-5 U mL-1. Moreover, this ternary nanocomposite-based platform exhibited excellent selectivity, good reproducibility, and remarkable storage stability, which shows the great potential for the T4 PNK detection and inhibitor screening.
