Photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensing, as a new sensing technology that combines PEC process and target recognition reactions, has been rapidly developed in the field of analysis. Based on its characteristics of photoexcitation-electrical detection, PEC sensing has attracted great attention due to its advantages such as low background signal, high sensitivity and so on. At present, common PEC sensing detection modes are mainly divided into signal-off and signal-on modes, but both modes depend on the change of a single output signal. The presence of possible redox-active interferents in the actual detection will increase or decrease photocurrents, which will inevitably lead to false positive or false negative results. By contrast, PEC sensing strategy based on photocurrent polarity switching can output the photocurrent signals with different polarity after identifying the target, instead of only increasing or decreasing the photocurrent signals. Therefore, it can effectively improve the anti-interference ability and accuracy. In this paper, common PEC sensing strategies were reviewed, with emphasis on the photocurrent polarity switching PEC sensing strategy. In the end, further development prospects of PEC sensing were proposed.
