A label-free photoelectrochemical immunosensor for detection of the milk allergen β-lactoglobulin based on Ag2S -sensitized spindle-shaped BiVO4/BiOBr heterojunction by an in situ growth method

Detection of Allergenic Proteins in Foodstuffs: Advantages of the Innovative Multiplex Allergen Microarray-Based Immunoassay Compared to Conventional Methods

“…When the biological receptor is a specific antibody and the analyte is an allergen recognized by that antibody, then the biosensor can be used to detect an allergen in a sample [ 58 ]. For instance, biosensors have been used to detect several individual allergens in food samples with high specificity and sensitivity, such as porcine albumin [ 59 ], peanut Ara h 1 [ 60 ] and Ara h 6 in commercially processed foods [ 61 ], Sin a 1 in mustard seeds [ 62 ], β-lactoglobulin in dairy products [ 63 ] and hazelnut Cor a 14 [ 64 ]. Biosensors are sensitive, specific, easy to use, fast and can be used multiple times.…”

The enhanced photocatalytic properties of Bi/BiOCl composites for H2O2 production

“…Recently, Bi-based photocatalysts, such as BiOCl, 16–18 BiVO 4 , 19–21 (BiO) 2 CO 3 , 22 Bi 2 O 3 , 23–25 Bi 2 WO 6 , 26–28 and Bi 2 MoO 6 , 29–31 have been widely studied as efficient photocatalysts. Among these photocatalysts, BiOCl has been paid much attention because of its unique layered structure, tunable band gap and stable photocatalytic performance.…”

“…[12][13][14] Therefore, the green and sustainable production of H 2 O 2 via the photocatalytic reaction of H 2 O and O 2 using sunlight as the energy input has attracted much recent interest. 15 Recently, Bi-based photocatalysts, such as BiOCl, [16][17][18] BiVO 4 , [19][20][21] (BiO) 2 CO 3 , 22 Bi 2 O 3 , [23][24][25] Bi 2 WO 6 , [26][27][28] and Bi 2 MoO 6 , [29][30][31] have been widely studied as efficient photocatalysts. Among these photocatalysts, BiOCl has been paid much attention because of its unique layered structure, tunable band gap and stable photocatalytic performance.…”

Zero-Biased Photoelectrochemical Detection of Cardiac Biomarker Myoglobin Based on CdSeS/ZnS Quantum Dots and Barium Titanate Perovskite

“…These characteristics attracted great attention in the biological area. Besides that, combining photoelectrochemical platforms with antigen-antibody interaction offers high sensitivity/selectivity of biological species [ 20 , 21 ]. The photoelectrochemical mechanism forms electron-hole pairs in the photoactive semiconductor materials after the incidence of electromagnetic radiation and, when captured by acceptors or electron donors, produces photocurrent [ 22 ].…”
