▎ 摘  要

Catching cancer at an early stage is necessary to make it easier to treat and to save people's lives rather than just extending them. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have sparked a huge interest owing to their vital role in various biological processes, especially in tumorigenesis, thus leading to the potential of ROS as prognostic biomarkers for cancer. Herein, a non-enzymatic biosensor for the dynamic monitoring of intracellular hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), the most important ROS, via an effective electrode composed of poly (diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA)-capped reduced graphene oxide (RGO) nanosheets with high loading trimetallic AuPtAg nanoalloy, is proposed. The designed biosensor was able to measure H2O2 released from different cancerous cells promptly and precisely owing to the impressive conductivity of RGO and PDDA and the excellent synergistic effect of the ternary alloy in boosting the electrocatalytic activity. Built upon the peroxidase-like activity of the nanoalloy, the developed sensor exhibited distinguished electrochemical performance, resulting in a low detection limit of 1.2 nM and a wide linear range from 0.05 mu M to 5.5 mM. Our approach offers a significant contribution toward the further elucidation of the role of ROS in carcinogenesis and the effective screening of cancer at an early stage.
