▎ 摘  要

Lead (II) is regarded as one of the most hazardous heavy metals, and lead contamination has a serious impact on food chains, human health, and the environment. Herein, a colorimetric aptasensor based on the graphene/Fe3O4-AuNPs composites with enhanced peroxidase-like activity has been developed to monitor lead ions (Pb2+). In short, graphene/Fe3O4-AuNPs were fabricated and acted as an enzyme mimetic, so the color change could be observed by chromogenic reaction. The aptamer of Pb(2+)was decorated on the surface of the amine magnetic beads by streptavidin-biotin interaction, and the complementary strands of the aptamer and target Pb(2+)competed for the binding Pb(2+)aptamer. In the presence of Pb2+, aptamers bonded the metal ions and were removed from the system by magnetic separation; the free cDNA was adsorbed onto the surface of the graphene/Fe3O4-AuNPs composites, thus inhibiting the catalytic activity and the color reaction. The absorbance of the reaction solution at 652 nm had a clear linear correlation with the Pb(2+)concentration in the range of 1-300 ng/mL, and the limit of detection was 0.63 ng/mL. This assay is simple and convenient in operation, has good selectivity, and has been used to test tap water samples, which proves that it is capable for the routine monitoring of Pb2+.
