The invention discloses an electrochemical sensor, a preparation method of the electrochemical sensor and application of the electrochemical sensor to detection of deoxynivalenol, and relates to the field of sensors and
food safety detection. The electrochemical sensor comprises an
electrode, and a modification layer and
a DNA layer which are arranged on the surface of the
electrode; the modification layer is Cu-Pt spherical nanoparticles, and the
DNA layer comprises a complementary chain and a
nucleic acid aptamer. According to the invention, Cu-Pt spherical nanoparticles are adopted as a
signal amplification element to be modified on the surface of an
electrode, double-folding-arm arched structure
DNA is constructed on the modified surface of the electrode through a
platinum-
sulfur bond, a target object cyclic amplification
signal is realized under the action of
exonuclease Exo I, and quantitative detection of the target object DON is realized. The Cu-Pt spherical nanoparticles can directly catalyze reduction of
hydrogen peroxide on the surface of the electrode to generate an
electric signal, the
physical barrier of the
DNA with the double-folding-arm arched structure affects the magnitude of the
electric signal, and the constructed sensor has the advantages of high sensitivity, simplicity in operation, good specificity and the like.
