Article Description

Lead halide perovskites have garnered significant attention in the field of photoelectrochemistry due to their outstanding optical properties. Nevertheless, the pronounced susceptibility of perovskite to water poses a major limitation to its practical applications. A signal-on photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor was constructed in this work using water-resistant perovskite nanocrystals for the detection of hydrogen sulfide. Specially, the electrode surface was modified with composite nanomaterials (CsPbBr 3 @PEG-PCL). In the presence of H 2 S, efficient heterojunctions were formed through the in-situ generation of PbS on CsPbBr 3 @PEG-PCL, thereby enhancing the photocurrent signal. The potential mechanism behind this signal enhancement was extensively discussed. The designed sensor exhibited a linear relationship with the concentration of H 2 S ranging from 0.02 to 120 μM, with a detection limit of 6.67 nM. This work opens up new possibilities for utilizing halide perovskites in the field of sensing, with promising applications in areas such as food safety, environmental monitoring, and biomedical analysis.
