Abstract

Metallic nanostructures are considered attractive candidates for designing novel biosensors due to their enormously significant surface area, accelerated kinetics, and improved affinity. Controllable morphological tuning of metallic nanostructures on sensing interfaces is crucial for attaining clinically relevant sensitivity and exquisite selectivity in a complex biological environment. Therefore, a facile, convenient, and robust one-step electroreduction method was employed to develop different morphological variants of palladium (Pd) nanostructures supported onto oxidized carbon nanotubes to facilitate label-free electrochemical immunosensing of HER2. The morphological and structural attributes of the synthesized Pd nanostructures were thoroughly investigated using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and atomic force microscopy techniques. In-depth electrochemical investigations revealed an intimate correlation between the nanostructured sensor and electrochemical response, suggesting the suitability of hierarchical palladium nanostructures supported onto carbon nanotubes Pd(-0.1 V)/CNT for sensitive detection of HER2. The high surface area of hierarchical Pd nanostructures enabled an ultrasensitive electrochemical response toward HER2 (detection limit: 1 ng/mL) with a wide detection range of 10 to 100 ng/mL. The ease of surface modification, sensitivity, and reliable electrochemical response in human plasma samples suggested the enormous potential of Pd nanostructuring for chip-level point-of-care screening of HER2-positive breast cancer patients.
