Development of biosensing systems resembling optical 96-well plates using portable single-channel electrochemical analyzers is usually a great challenge. Herein, a light-addressable paper-based photoelectrochemical (PEC) analytical device suitable for on-site high-throughput biosensing is reported. This device consists of a solar cell-type single-channel PEC system with plenty of separated detection zones. Each zone contains a silver nanowires/fullerene-Congo red (AgNWs/C₆₀-CR) disc working electrode and a AgNWs ring reference/counter electrode, which can be massively produced by a simple filtration and laser cutting method. Taking advantage of the sensitive photocurrent response of thiocholine (TCl) on AgNWs/C₆₀-CR, an acetylcholinesterase (AChE)-based PEC biosensing system with tunable detection throughput for the on-site screening of ultratrace organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) was established.
