The Au@SiO2@Fe3O4/NG was synthesized by the electrostatic adsorption between AuNPs and SiO2-coated Fe304 NPs（SiO2@Fe304） and the amide bond between Au@SiO2@Fe3O4 and NG. L-Cysteine was successfully functionalized on the surface of Au@SiO2@Fe3O4/NG nanocomposites via the S--Au bond between L-cysteine and AuNPs. Owing to numerous active sites in L-cysteines and high conductivity of Au@SiO2@Fe3O4/NG composites, the pro- posed electrochemical sensor exhibited a well-distributed nanostructure and high responsivity toward Pb（II）. The sensor linearly responded to Pb2＋ concentration in the range of 5-80 μg/L with a detection limit of 0.6 μg/L, indicating that this L-cysteine functionalized Au@SiO2@Fe3O4/NG composite could be a promising candidate material for the detection of Pb2＋.展开更多
