Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of photoelectrochemical biosensors, and in particular to a PSA detection method based on a black phosphorus / bismuth vanadate composite material. Background Technology
[0002] Prostate cancer is a highly prevalent malignant tumor among men worldwide, with over 1.4 million new cases globally in 2023. Early diagnosis is crucial for improving cure rates. PSA (prostate-specific antigen) serves as a core clinical screening biomarker, with a normal range of <4 ng / mL and a diagnostic "gray zone" of 4-10 ng / mL. However, current testing technologies suffer from high false-positive rates, insufficient sensitivity, and high costs, making it difficult to meet the needs of early and accurate screening.
[0003] Photoelectrochemical biosensors have become a research hotspot for tumor marker detection due to their advantages such as ease of operation, rapid response, and portability. Black phosphorus, as a two-dimensional semiconductor material, possesses a unique wrinkled structure and tunable band gap, but its performance is easily degraded by environmental oxidation, limiting its applications. Bismuth vanadate (BiVO4), as a typical n-type semiconductor material, has become a research hotspot for PEC sensors due to its wide visible light absorption range (band gap of approximately 2.4 eV), excellent photoelectric conversion efficiency, and good chemical stability. However, single BiVO4 materials still face challenges such as severe photocorrosion and high recombination rates of photogenerated electron-hole pairs, requiring further improvement in its photocatalytic performance. The formation of PM covalent bonds between bismuth vanadate and black phosphorus not only inhibits black phosphorus oxidation but also enhances the photoelectrocatalytic activity of bismuth vanadate. Black phosphorus nanomaterials possess high conductivity and a large specific surface area, which can improve the active area of the photoelectrode and electron transport efficiency.
[0004] Currently, black phosphorus-based composite materials are mostly used for small molecule detection, and a mature PSA detection solution has not yet been developed. Summary of the Invention

[0046] In step (1):
[0047] The bismuth salt is selected from common types in the art, such as one or more of bismuth chloride, bismuth nitrate, bismuth sulfate, and bismuth acetylacetonate;

[0065] The detection principle is as follows: mAb1 captures PSA in the sample, and T1-AuNPs-pAb2 binds to it to form a sandwich complex; oligonucleotide T1 initiates the RCA reaction, generating a large amount of long-chain DNA containing the complementary sequence of oligonucleotide T2; after specific hybridization of T2-ALP conjugate, it catalyzes the formation of AA from AAP; AA undergoes photoelectrocatalytic oxidation on the surface of black phosphorus / bismuth tungstate electrode, generating an oxidation current positively correlated with the PSA concentration, which is then quantitatively detected by a standard curve.
[0066] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0067] (1) This invention discloses a PSA detection method based on black phosphorus / bismuth vanadate composite material. It introduces a three-stage system of immune sandwich reaction, rolling cycle amplification and enzyme catalytic signal amplification for tumor marker detection. Combined with the high catalytic activity of the black phosphorus / bismuth vanadate composite material itself, it can effectively improve the sensitivity and specificity of PSA detection of biological macromolecules and reduce the detection limit.
[0068] (2) The biosensor used in the detection method disclosed in this invention uses a black phosphorus / bismuth vanadate composite material as an electrode modification material. The bismuth vanadate and black phosphorus form a PM covalent bond, which can inhibit the oxidative degradation of black phosphorus. At the same time, black phosphorus and bismuth vanadate form a heterojunction, which synergistically enhances the absorption of light by the photoelectric material and inhibits the recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs, thereby enhancing the photoelectrocatalytic activity. Compared with the existing single-material modified electrodes, which have problems such as poor stability, poor conductivity and insufficient photoelectrocatalytic activity, this biosensor has better detection stability and electrocatalytic sensitivity, and has good reproducibility and long-term stability, making it suitable for large-scale production and actual clinical testing scenarios.

[0080] The present invention will be further illustrated below with reference to specific embodiments. Those skilled in the art will understand that the embodiments described below are only some, not all, embodiments of the present invention, and are used merely to illustrate the invention, and should not be considered as limiting the scope of the invention.
[0081] Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this invention. Any processes in the embodiments not specifically described in detail are those that can be implemented or understood by those skilled in the art by referring to existing technology. Reagents or instruments used without specifying the manufacturer are considered to be conventional products that can be purchased commercially.
[0082] Example 1
[0083] (1) Preparation of black phosphorus nanomaterials: Black phosphorus crystals were ground and pulverized in a mortar. The resulting black phosphorus powder was transferred to N-methylpyrrolidone solvent and ultrasonically pulverized with a probe ultrasonic pulverizer at an ultrasonic power of 500W for more than 10 hours. The resulting suspension was centrifuged at 1000rpm to remove the precipitate. The resulting supernatant was then centrifuged at 12000rpm. The precipitate was washed with anhydrous ethanol and vacuum dried to obtain black phosphorus nanomaterials.
[0084] (2) Preparation of bismuth vanadate-modified black phosphorus nanomaterials: Weigh 0.0026 g (0.0066 mmol) of anhydrous bismuth nitrate, 0.0023 g (0.0066 mmol) of vanadium acetylacetonate and 4.0 mg (0.013 mmol) of black phosphorus nanomaterials, disperse them in 20 mL of DMF, and sonicate for 1 hour to dissolve the metal salts; transfer to a reaction vessel, and hydrothermally react at 160 °C for 3 hours; centrifuge at 8000 rpm for 5 minutes, wash 3 times with anhydrous ethanol, and freeze-dry to obtain bismuth vanadate-modified black phosphorus nanomaterials, denoted as BiVO4@BPNSs.
[0085] Figure 1 The SEM image of the BiVO4@BPNSs prepared in this embodiment shows that the BiVO4@BPNSs nanocomposite material has a two-dimensional sheet structure with lateral dimensions ranging from hundreds of nanometers to several micrometers and a thickness of several nanometers. The material surface is relatively rough and has obvious particle loading. Figure 2 The elemental distribution (a~e) and energy spectrum (f) of the BiVO4@BPNSs prepared in this embodiment show that Bi, V and P elements are uniformly distributed, and the black phosphorus content in the material is 82.7 wt%.
[0086] Figure 3 The XRD pattern of the BiVO4@BPNSs prepared in this embodiment shows that the diffraction peaks of the synthesized BiVO4@BPNSs nanocomposite material are attributed to black phosphorus crystals and bismuth vanadate crystals, respectively. The intensity of the diffraction peaks of the black phosphorus nanosheets is significantly reduced, indicating that the black phosphorus nanosheets are covered by bismuth vanadate particles.
[0087] (3) Preparation of black phosphorus / bismuth vanadate composite modification solution: 5.0 mg of black phosphorus nanomaterial modified with bismuth vanadate was dispersed in 0.97 mL of pure water and sonicated for 30 minutes; 30 μL of 1 wt% Nafion solution was added and sonicated for another 30 minutes to obtain the composite modification solution, which was denoted as BiVO4@BPNSs composite modification solution.
[0088] (4) The ITO electrode was washed with 75% ethanol, dried at room temperature, and then 20 μL of BiVO4@BPNSs composite modification solution was dropped onto it. After natural drying, it was stored for later use and designated as BiVO4@BPNSs / ITO-1. The modification amount obtained at this drop volume was calculated to be 0.22 mg / cm³. 2 .
[0089] (5) Using BiVO4@BPNsS / ITO-1 prepared in step (4) as the working electrode, a platinum wire electrode as the counter electrode, an Ag / AgCl electrode as the reference electrode, and a PBS buffer electrolyte containing 0.1M KCl pH=7.4, a three-electrode system was obtained after assembly.
[0090] Photoelectrochemical tests were conducted under simulated sunlight (300W). The cyclic voltammetry test potential range was -0.5V to 1.2V, and the chronoamperometry test potential was 0.3V. Figure 4 The figure shows the photoelectrocatalytic cyclic voltammetry curves of the working electrode prepared in Example 1. The figure also includes the photoelectrocatalytic cyclic voltammetry curves of the working electrodes prepared in Comparative Examples 1 and 2, and the bare ITO electrode, for comparison. It was observed that the bismuth vanadate-modified black phosphorus nanomaterials begin to oxidize AA at 0 V, with an oxidation peak appearing at 0.55 V. Within the range of 0 V to 1.2 V, the oxidation peak current is significantly higher than the photocurrent signals of pure bismuth vanadate and black phosphorus nanomaterials, indicating that the bismuth vanadate-modified black phosphorus nanomaterials have better photoelectrocatalytic response performance to AA. Considering that excessively high voltage may promote the oxidation of other molecules in the electrolytic cell and cause interference, 0.3 V was used as the potential for detection and analysis.
[0091] Figure 5 To repeat steps (1) to (5) five times, a total of six working electrodes were obtained. The photoelectrocatalytic oxidation response current under simulated sunlight (300W) irradiation and a voltage of 0.3V was measured after adding 1.0 mM AA. Observations showed that the working electrode modified with the BiVO4@BPNsS nanocomposite material disclosed in this invention exhibited good reproducibility and stability. The response current of the six independent BiVO4@BPNSs to 1.0 mM AA was 136.38 ± 4.98 μA.
[0092] Figure 6 The photoelectrocatalytic performance of the working electrode modified with the BiVO4@BPNSs nanocomposite material prepared in Example 1 for different concentrations of AA is shown in Table 1 below.
[0093] Table 1
[0094]
[0095] observe Figure 6 It can be seen that the detection linear range of the working electrode modified with BiVO4@BPNSs nanocomposite material disclosed in this invention is 0.002 mM to 0.5 mM, the linear equation is y=67.881x+0.2645 (R²=0.997), the detection sensitivity is 67.881 μA / mM, and the detection limit is 1.15 μM. The above characterization shows that the BiVO4@BPNSs nanocomposite material modified electrode lays the foundation for high sensitivity in subsequent PSA detection.

[0154] Figure 11 The photoelectrocatalytic current response of the working electrodes prepared in Examples 1, 10-13 after the addition of 1.0 mM AA was investigated. The effect of the modification amount of BiVO4@BPNSs nanocomposite on the performance of the working electrodes was studied.
