This invention relates to an IL5 / Bi2MoO6 / MXene photoactive composite material, a low-background photoelectrochemical aptamer sensor, its preparation method, and its applications. The sensor is constructed by sequentially modifying chitosan, glutaraldehyde, complementary DNA strands, and a gold nanoparticle-labeled aptamer.
