Abstract
Dopamine is an essential neurotransmitter involved in critical physiological processes, and its sensitive and selective detection is of great importance. In this work, we developed a novel photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor based on a triphasic Bi2WO6/WO3/g-C3N4 (BWWCN) composite. The synergistic interaction among the three components enhances light absorption, charge separation, and electron transfer. BWWCN was synthesized via a hydrothermal method and deposited onto a glassy carbon electrode (GCE). XRD, TEM, and UV–Vis characterizations confirmed the successful formation of the composite. Photoluminescence (PL) analysis revealed significantly reduced electron–hole recombination, following the order Bi2WO6>WO3>g-C3N4>BWWCN. The dopamine photoelectrochemical sensor showed a wide linear detection range (0.01–110 μM), a low detection limit (0.01 μM), and excellent stability and reproducibility. Its effectiveness was demonstrated in saliva samples, confirming its potential for real-world dopamine monitoring.
