[0002] Photoelectrochemical sensing, as an active branch of chemical sensing, uses light as the excitation source and photocurrent as the detection signal, and has been widely applied to the detection of various chemical / biomolecules, such as environmental pollutants, disease biomarkers, and pesticide residues. Compared with traditional analytical methods such as fluorescence analysis, electrochemical analysis, and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, PEC sensing, due to the fundamental difference between its energy input (light) and output (current) forms, not only inherits the advantages of low cost and simple operation of electrochemical analysis, but also has the characteristics of low background signal and outstanding sensitivity, thus becoming a current research hotspot.

[0003] Currently, rapid, economical, and easy-to-operate point-of-care (POC) detection technologies are attracting significant attention due to application needs in fields such as environmental monitoring, disease diagnosis, and food safety assessment. Therefore, developing portable PEC sensing systems suitable for on-site detection while maintaining excellent analytical performance is of great importance. However, traditional photoelectrochemical detection technologies heavily rely on bulky and expensive artificial physical light sources and electrochemical workstations (used to excite photoelectric materials and collect output signals, respectively). This equipment dependence poses a major challenge to the transformation of photoelectrochemical sensing technology from the laboratory to on-site detection scenarios. Summary of the Invention

By integrating a photoelectric correction functional area onto the photoelectrochemical sensing paper chip, the system is endowed with self-correction capabilities. This design effectively eliminates background signal interference caused by changes in natural light intensity over time, thereby ensuring the accuracy and stability of the detection results.

[0007] Technical Solution Two: A method for constructing a portable photoelectrochemical paper chip sensing system driven by natural light includes the following steps:

After rinsing three times with PBS buffer (1 M, pH = 7.4), 100 µL of 150-340 µM hydrogen peroxide solution was added dropwise to both the photoelectrode and the photocorrection area. Subsequently, the photoelectrochemical paper chip was placed under natural light, and a handheld multimeter was connected to both the photoelectrode and the photocorrection area to record their photocurrent signals. The photocurrent signal of the photoelectrode was divided by the photocurrent signal of the photocorrection area to eliminate signal fluctuations caused by changes in natural light intensity, thus obtaining a detection signal that is only related to the concentration of the target analyte.
