Summary: Zirconium dioxide-incorporated bismuth sulfide (Bi2S3/ZrO2) and bismuth tungstate (Bi2WO6/ZrO2) heteronanostructures were synthesized and used as photocatalysts for the visible light-driven degradation of chloramphenicol. Both heteronanostructures exhibited excellent catalytic activity, and the degradation rate was greatly enhanced when peroxymonosulfate was used as an activator. The generation and separation of photoinduced charge carriers played a crucial role in the improved catalytic activity. These inorganic heteronanostructures have great potential in the field of contaminated water remediation and provide a platform for the fabrication of photocatalyst materials.

Summary: A sensitive and selective label-free photoelectrochemical immunosensor was developed for the detection of cardiac troponin I. The immunosensor utilized a Bi2S3/BiVO4/FTO platform, which showed enhanced photocurrent compared to a platform without Bi2S3. The immobilization of cTnI antibodies on the platform inhibited the photocurrent in the presence of cTnI, and the resulting photocurrent showed a linear relationship with the logarithm of cTnI concentration.

Summary: In this study, we used first-principles calculations to theoretically investigate the electronic properties of monolayer GaSe1-xTex alloys. Substituting Se with Te resulted in changes in the geometric structure, charge distribution, and bandgap. These changes were attributed to complex orbital hybridizations. This study highlights the strong dependence of energy bands, spatial charge density, and projected density of states (PDOS) on the concentration of substituted Te.

Summary: A novel aptamer modified SnO2/Bi2S3-based photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor was developed for the determination of TOB in milk, showing a wide linear response range of 5-50 nmol/L with a detection limit of 4.28 nmol/L. The high sensitivity of the sensor is attributed to the favorable energy level matching of SnO2 and Bi2S3, and further enhanced by the use of oxalate. The stability of the PEC aptasensor is satisfactory due to calcination of SnO2/Bi2S3 at 450 degrees C.
