  • Abstract:The monitoring of heavy metal ions in ocean is crucial for environment protection and assessment of seawater quality. However, the detection of heavy metal ions in seawater with electrochemical sensors, especially for longterm monitoring, always faces challenges due to marine biofouling caused by the nonspecific adsorption of microbial and biomolecules. Herein, an electrochemical aptasensor, integrating both antifouling and antibacterial properties, was developed for the detection of Hg 2 in the ocean. In this electrochemical aptasensor, ecofriendly peptides with superior hydrophilicity served as anti-biofouling materials, preventing nonspecific adsorption on the sensing interface, while silver nanoparticles were employed to eliminate bacteria. Subsequently, a ferrocene-modified aptamer was employed for the specific recognition of Hg 2 , leveraging the aptamer's ability to fold into a thymine-Hg 2 -thymine (T-Hg 2 -T) structure upon interaction, and bringing ferrocene nearer to the sensor surface, significantly amplifying the electrochemical response. The prepared electrochemical aptasensor significantly reduced the nonspecific adsorption in seawater while maintaining sensitive electrochemical response. Furthermore, the biosensor exhibited a linear response range of 0.01-100 nM with a detection limit of 2.30 pM, and realized the accurate monitoring of mercury ions in real marine environment. The research results offer new insights into the preparation of marine antifouling sensing devices, and it is expected that sensors with antifouling and antimicrobial capabilities will find broad applications in the monitoring of marine pollutants.
