Abstract

In this section, the strategy for isothermal amplification of nucleic acids has been applied in photoelectrochemistry. Based on the signal format, the main established strategies for PEC sensor can be classified as steric hindrance, biocatalytic precipitation , in situ generation of electron donor/acceptor, quenching effect, DNA conformational change, introduction of photoelectric active materials, and so on. Herein, we provide a comprehensive overview of the application of DNA amplification in different photoelectrochemical modes. Using illustrative examples, this brief review highlights the current advances in this topic.
