Abstract
Defect-engineered cerium oxide (CeO2) nanosheets
were
developed as a label-free photoluminescence (PL) platform for ultrasensitive
DNA detection. The CeO2 nanosheets exhibited defect-mediated
emission associated with oxygen vacancies. Probe DNA (ssDNA) immobilization
enhanced PL intensity due to surface passivation, whereas hybridization
with complementary target DNA (tDNA) induced significant PL quenching
via guanine-mediated photoinduced electron transfer (PET). The biosensor
showed a linear detection range of 0.35 to 42 pM with a low detection
limit of 0.179 pM. Excellent selectivity and successful detection
in clinical DNA samples demonstrate the potential of CeO2 nanosheets for sensitive optical DNA biosensing.
