Abstract

In this work, we design an immunosensor for zearalenone (ZEN) detection with PEI-rGO/Pt@Au NRs nanocomposite as the modification material. PEI-rGO/Pt@Au NRs nanocomposite have good stability, conductivity and a large specific surface area, so they are chosen as the substrate material for the modified electrode, which is beneficial in improving the detection performance of the sensor. When antibody binds to ZEN, the current signal decreases, and the response signal changes after ZEN incubation, recorded by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) methods. Under the optimised conditions, the electrochemical response of the constructed immunosensor shows a linear relation to a wide concentration range from 1 pg/mL to 1 × 106 pg/mL with a detection limit of 0.02 pg/mL. Additionally, the proposed electrochemical immunosensor has high selectivity, good stability and great potential for the trace detection of ZEN in real samples.
