Abstract

Human immune deficiency virus (HIV) continues to cause havoc around the globe and has a significant impact on public safety. Therefore, a convenient method for the rapid detection of HIV-DNA is the key to the treatment and prevention of this kind of disease. In this work, we constructed an ultrasensitive electrochemical biosensor for the rapid detection of HIV-DNA based on Nd–Sb-co-doped SnO2@Pt electrode material. The doping of Sb and Nd increased oxygen vacancies of the SnO2 crystal lattice, which greatly improved the conductivity of the material. Meanwhile, the spherical nanoflower structure of Nd–Sb-co-doped SnO2 not only provided abundant attachment sites for Pt nanoparticles (Pt NPs) but also avoided the aggregation of DNA strands. Hence, the biosensor exhibited high sensitivity, good stability, outstanding selectivity, wide detection ranges (from 1.0 × 10−13 to 1.0 × 10−7 M), as well as a low limit of detection (0.099 pM) for HIV-DNA.
