Abstract

Antimonene (AMNFs) is a new kind of sp2-bonded honeycomb lattice two-dimensional material with strong rod-rail coupling, stability and hydrophilicity. Compared with graphene, antimonene has better sensitivity in DNA molecular sensing. We developed a suitable biosensor-Cd2+-aptamer@AMNFs@ZIF-67 nanocomposite for HER2 biomarker detection. Two-dimensional antimonene can be grown on the surface of ZIF-67 to enhance stability and biocompatibility. The aptamer chain can also be adsorbed on the surface of antimonene, and the complexes of the aptamer and the marker can be detached analytically after targeting the biomarker. The detection limit (LOD) was 4.853 fg/mL within 60 min, the detection range was 0-1000 pg/mL, and the LOD was lower than the existing HER2 aptamer biosensors. The results show that the biosensor has certain applicability and potential, and is expected to be a powerful tool for breast cancer diagnosis in the future.
