Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of uranyl ion detection, and particularly relates to a SERS detection method for uranyl ions based on the self-assembly of streptavidin-assisted silver nanoparticles. Background Art
[0002] Uranium is a natural radioactive element present in the environment and has important applications in the nuclear industry and weapons. The widespread use of uranium has generated a large amount of nuclear waste, and humans are more likely to come into contact with this harmful metal. Uranium mainly exists in the form of hexavalent uranyl ions (UO2 2+ ) in water, is easily migratory in the earth's crust, and can cause great harm to the environment and human body.
[0003] Detecting uranyl ions in water bodies is a prerequisite for their treatment and purification. Therefore, developing a sensitive and rapid method for detecting uranyl ions is of great significance for preventing uranium pollution, protecting the environment and human health. Traditional instrument-based methods for detecting uranyl ions mainly include X-ray fluorescence spectrometry, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, laser fluorescence method, etc. Although these traditional methods have their own advantages, they also have defects such as expensive instruments, complex pretreatment, time-consuming operation, and being easily interfered by other ions.
[0004] Compared with the above detection methods, Surface-enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) has the characteristics of high sensitivity, short time consumption, small sample demand, little influence by photobleaching and water, and no need for pretreatment of samples. Moreover, the symmetric stretching vibration of the O=U=O structure in uranyl ions has a strong Raman peak at ~870 cm -1 . Therefore, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy is an ideal detection means for the rapid and sensitive detection of uranyl ions in aqueous solutions.
[0005] The SERS detection methods for uranyl ions are mainly realized by preparing different types of SERS substrates, such as silver-doped sol-gel films, nano silver arrays prepared by vapor deposition technology, gold nanostars deposited on amino-oximated polyacrylonitrile pads, Al2O3-coated silver nanorods, nano silver-coupled reduced graphene oxide nanosheets, etc. Such nanostructured substrates (dry substrates) prepared by self-assembly or vapor deposition methods usually require dropping samples onto the substrate surface. However, due to the coffee ring effect and the non-uniformity of the substrate itself, it is difficult to achieve quantitative detection of uranyl ions. In addition, the preparation processes of these dry substrates are all very complex and expensive, increasing the cost of use.
[0006] In previous work, the applicant has reported a wet-state SERS method for directly detecting uranyl ions using citrate-stabilized silver nanosol. Citrate can stabilize silver nanoparticles while acting as a chelating agent to capture uranyl ions, and it can also be used as an internal reference to normalize the Raman signal of uranyl ions, thereby eliminating the adverse effects of the substrate and other external factors. This direct detection method is simple to operate, inexpensive, and user-friendly. The detection limit of this method was calculated to be 60 nM based on three times the standard deviation of the blank. However, due to the interference of background signals and the limitation of enhancement performance, it was difficult to detect the SERS signal of 60 nM uranyl ions in the experiment, and only the SERS signal of 200 nM uranyl ions could be measured. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The object of the present invention is to provide a SERS detection method for uranyl ions based on the self-assembly of streptavidin-assisted silver nanoparticles.

[0008] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:
[0009] The present invention provides a self-assembled aggregate based on silver nanoparticles, which includes a plurality of citrate-modified silver nanoparticles and a plurality of streptavidin molecules attached to the surface of each citrate-modified silver nanoparticle through electrostatic interaction; the plurality of citrate-modified silver nanoparticles and the plurality of streptavidin molecules self-assemble to form the self-assembled aggregate based on silver nanoparticles.

[0019] The present invention provides a method for detecting surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy of a uranyl ion solution, comprising the following steps:
[0020] Mix a wet substrate and a uranyl ion solution to obtain a test solution; the wet substrate is the self-assembled aggregate based on silver nanoparticles as described in the above technical solution or the self-assembled aggregate based on silver nanoparticles prepared by the preparation method as described in the above technical solution;
[0021] Measure the Raman spectrum of the test solution to obtain the Raman absorption peak intensity of the uranyl ion and the Raman absorption peak intensity of citrate respectively, and obtain the ratio of the Raman absorption peak intensity of the uranyl ion to the Raman absorption peak intensity of citrate, which is denoted as the relative Raman absorption peak intensity of the uranyl ion;
[0022] Substitute the relative Raman absorption peak intensity of the uranyl ion into the uranyl ion concentration-relative Raman absorption peak intensity standard curve or standard equation to obtain the concentration of the uranyl ion solution.
[0023] Preferably, in the Raman spectrum, the Raman absorption peak position of the uranyl ion is 750 cm -1 , and the Raman absorption peak position of citrate is 930 cm -1 .
[0024] Preferably, the linear range of the uranyl ion concentration-relative Raman absorption peak intensity standard curve or standard equation is 1×10 -9 ~1×10 -6 mol / L.
[0025] The present invention provides a self-assembled aggregate based on silver nanoparticles, which includes a plurality of citrate-modified silver nanoparticles and a plurality of streptavidin molecules attached to the surface of each citrate-modified silver nanoparticle through electrostatic interaction; the plurality of citrate-modified silver nanoparticles and the plurality of streptavidin molecules self-assemble to form the self-assembled aggregate based on silver nanoparticles. In the present invention, the streptavidin (SA) is a protein isolated from Streptomyces avidinii bacteria, which has a low isoelectric point (pI≈6) and a positive charge on its surface, and can produce electrostatic interaction with citrate-modified silver nanoparticles, thus undergoing self-assembly to assemble the citrate-modified silver nanoparticles into aggregates, forming a self-assembled aggregate based on silver nanoparticles; using the self-assembled aggregate based on silver nanoparticles provided by the present invention as a wet substrate, the size of the streptavidin molecules in the self-assembled aggregate is 3-6 nm and has a certain rigidity, so that there are gaps between adjacent citrate-modified silver nanoparticles (such as Figure 1 shown), and the existence of the gaps can produce a very strong electromagnetic coupling effect under the action of Raman incident laser, resulting in the enhancement of the local electric field and thus producing a strong SERS enhancement effect, so that the SERS detection of low-concentration uranyl ions can be realized. On the other hand, the existence of the gaps can also effectively prevent the excessive aggregation of citrate-modified silver nanoparticles, providing more space for the citrate on the surface of citrate-modified silver nanoparticles to adsorb uranyl ions, so that more uranyl ions can be adsorbed on the surface of citrate-modified silver nanoparticles, which is beneficial to improving the detection sensitivity of uranyl ions; finally, due to the low isoelectric point of streptavidin and the small amount of positive charge on its surface, it can also avoid causing excessive aggregation of citrate-modified silver nanoparticles, ensuring the stability and uniformity of the entire aggregate sol. As a wet substrate, it is beneficial to improve the stability of the SERS detection of uranyl ions.
[0026] In the present invention, further, in the aggregate, the gap between adjacent citrate-modified silver nanoparticles is 1-10 nm. In the present invention, when the gap is 1-10 nm, the region formed by the gap (referred to as "hot spot") can produce a very strong electromagnetic coupling effect under the action of Raman incident laser, resulting in the enhancement of the local electric field and thus producing a strong SERS enhancement effect, so that the SERS detection of low-concentration uranyl ions can be realized.

[0084] The present invention proposes a method for SERS detection by first using positively charged streptavidin to assemble silver nanoparticles to form a stable substrate and then using citrate ions to adsorb uranyl ions, which can greatly improve the detection sensitivity of uranyl ions. Streptavidin (SA) is a protein isolated from Streptomyces avidinii bacteria. It has a low isoelectric point (pI≈6) and a positive charge on its surface, and can produce electrostatic interaction with citrate - modified silver nanoparticles to assemble and aggregate the silver nanoparticles into a substrate. As Figure 1As shown, a nano-gap structure region with a size of 1 - 10 nm is formed between the nanoparticles and their aggregates. Under the action of incident laser, a very strong electromagnetic coupling effect can occur, which will lead to the enhancement of the local electric field and produce a strong SERS enhancement effect. These regions are also vividly called "hot spots". According to the results of crystal diffraction and atomic force microscope imaging, the size of a single streptavidin is 3 - 6 nm, which is just within the structural gap size of the "hot spot" effect. This size is much larger than the linker such as inorganic salts, inorganic acids and organic amines. And because the isoelectric point of streptavidin is low and the surface has few positive charges, it can avoid causing excessive aggregation of the metal sol, ensuring the stability and uniformity of the whole solution. In addition, streptavidin has a certain rigidity. The scale of 3 - 6 nm not only forms a large number of "hot spots" between the aggregated particles, but also provides space for the adsorption of uranyl ions by citrate on the particle surface, which is beneficial to improving the detection sensitivity and stability of uranyl ions.

At a concentration of 5×10 -9 ~1×10 -6 M, obvious signal peaks can still be observed. 2 + 2+ -9 M concentration, obvious signal peaks can still be observed.
[0100] Respectively obtain the Raman absorption peak intensities of uranyl ions at 750 cm -1 and citrate at 930 cm -1 in a series of standard reaction solutions; divide the Raman absorption peak intensity of uranyl ions at 750 cm -1 by the Raman absorption peak intensity of citrate at 930 cm -1 to obtain the ratio of the Raman absorption peak intensity of uranyl ions to the Raman absorption peak intensity of citrate in a series of standard solutions, which is recorded as the standard relative Raman absorption peak intensity of a series of uranyl ions; use the standard relative Raman absorption peak intensity of the series of uranyl ions as the dependent variable and the concentration of uranyl ions in a series of known concentration uranyl ion solutions as the independent variable to plot the uranyl ion concentration - relative Raman absorption peak intensity standard curve, as Figure 5 shown, there is a good linear relationship between the relative Raman intensity and the uranyl ion concentration in the range of 1×10 - 9 M~1×10 -6 M.
