This work describes the facile preparation of a disposable electrochemical biosensor for the detection of Hg(II) in water by modifying the surface of a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE). The surface modification consists of the immobilization of a composite layer of silver nanowires, hydroxymethyl propyl cellulose, chitosan, and urease (AgNWs/HPMC/CS/Urease). The presence of the composite was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and its excellent conductivity, due chiefly to the electrical properties of silver nanowires, enhanced the sensitivity of the biosensor. Under optimum conditions, the modified SPCE biosensor showed excellent performance for the detection of Hg(II) ions, with an incubation time of 10 min and a linear sensitivity range of 5-25 µM. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantitation (LOQ) were observed to be 3.94 µM and 6.50 µM, respectively. In addition, the disposable and portable biosensor exhibited excellent recoveries for the detection of Hg(II) ions in commercial drinking water samples (101.62-105.26%). The results are correlated with those obtained from inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES), indicating that our developed sensor is a reliable method for detection of Hg(II) in real water samples. The developed sensor device is a simple, effective, portable, low cost, and user-friendly platform for real-time detection of heavy metal ions in field measurements with potential for other biomedical applications in the future.
