My research focuses on developing nanozyme-based biosensors using photocatalytic nanomaterials to enhance the performance of optical sensing systems. Building on my expertise in SERS (Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy) and its application in biosensing, I aim to integrate the unique properties of photocatalytic nanomaterials to improve the sensitivity and stability of nanozymes. This approach seeks to develop highly efficient, cost-effective, and stable biosensors capable of detecting diverse analytes, including environmental pollutants and disease biomarkers. By incorporating photocatalytic materials, I enhance the catalytic activity of nanozymes and enable photo-triggered responses, opening up new possibilities for real-time monitoring and detection in complex biological and environmental samples. This innovative strategy has the potential to transform biosensing technologies, offering high-performance systems that maintain robust functionality under a range of diverse conditions.
