Cadmium, as a typical heavy metal, is not required by the human body, which can cause damage to the liver and kidneys when it enters the body. Therefore, the rapid detection of cadmium in the environment is crucial. In this study, a sensitive dual hairpin (HP) electrochemical aptasensor with AuPd/Fe-MOF as the signal labels and Au/Cu2O as the substrate material was constructed for the rapid detection of divalent cadmium ions (Cd2+) using catalytic hairpin self-assembly (CHA) as the recognition strategy. Au/Cu2O increased the speci c surface area of the electrode and provided a large number of attachment sites for capturing the probe complementary deoxyribonucleic acid (CDNA), while the electrochemical signal was ampli ed by the synergistic catalytic hydrogen peroxide with AuPd/Fe-MOF, which improved the aptasensor sensitivity. In addition, the dual HP design reduced the probability of non-speci c capture and decreased the generation of false positives. The study used scanning electron microscope (SEM) to observe the morphological characteristics of the material, energy eispersive spectrometer (EDS) and x-ray difraction (XRD) to analyze the elemental composition and distribution of the material, cyclic voltammetry (CV) to study the electrochemical behavior of the sensor, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) to study the assembly process of the aptasensor, and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) to study the performance of the aptasensor. Under the optimal experimental conditions, the constructed sensor was able to achieve effective detection of Cd2+ in the range of 10-4−10 μM with a detection limit as low as 2.27×10-5 μM, and demonstrated its feasibility in the detection of actual water samples.
