摘要

A novel electrochemical biosensor for the detection of lead ions (Pb2+) with improved specificity and sensitivity was developed. The sensor design incorporated molecular imprinting technology, where chitosan was polymerized on the electrode surface to form a lead-specific cavity structure, thereby enhancing selectivity in complex sample matrices. Meanwhile, the tetrahedral DNA nanostructure was employed as the recognition probe to mitigate the entanglement issues commonly associated with single-stranded DNA, thus improving the sensitivity of the detection. The developed sensor exhibited a linear dynamic range from 0.050 to 2.000 μg/mL, with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.0034 μg/mL. The aptasensor’s efficacy was verified through the analysis of aquatic samples, demonstrating a high degree of reliability comparable to that of inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS).
