Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of electrochemical technology, and in particular to a Ti3C2-based nanocomposite material, its preparation method, and its application in biosensors. Background Technology

[0002] Indoleacetic acid (IAA), an important plant hormone, influences cell division, elongation, and differentiation, as well as the growth, maturation, and senescence of vegetative and reproductive organs. Studies have found that IAA promotes plant and fruit growth and development, accumulating in rapidly dividing and growing parts of the plant, such as stem and leaf meristems, young leaf tissues, young fruits, and seeds. Therefore, due to its crucial role in plant growth regulation, IAA has been widely used in agricultural production. With technological advancements, electrochemical biosensors are gaining increasing attention in IAA detection methods due to their simplicity, speed, high sensitivity, and good selectivity.

[0003] Currently, it has been reported that low concentrations of IAA can be detected using AuNPs / HRP / IgG (gold nanoparticles / antibody / immunoglobulin G) functionalized gold nanoparticles as signal amplification probes and AuNPs / PG / GCE nanocomposite modified electrodes. However, due to the low content of IAA in plant tissues and its sensitivity to external conditions such as light, temperature, and oxidants, coupled with interference from complex metabolites in plant tissues, existing probes or modified electrodes cannot detect IAA with high sensitivity and selectivity.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a novel electrochemical sensing element to construct a highly sensitive and selective electrochemical biosensor for detecting IAA. Summary of the Invention

Ti3C2 has a unique two-dimensional layered structure, which makes it easy to be densely stacked on the electrode. In this invention, Ti3C2 is used as a template material to assemble Ti3C2-based nanocomposite materials, thereby achieving highly sensitive detection of IAA.

[0017] 2. Ti3C2 and reduced graphene oxide have similar layered structures and surface chemical properties, as well as strong interfacial interactions due to the Ti-OC covalent bonds between them.

[0103] Performance testing:

[0104] IAA assay

[0105] The modified electrode of Example 1 was used to determine plant auxin (IAA). Specifically, the modified electrode of Example 1 was used as the working electrode, the glassy carbon electrode as the reference electrode, and the platinum wire as the auxiliary electrode, with a 5 mM Fe(CN)6 electrode as the reference electrode. 3- / 4- A 10 mM PBS solution was used as the supporting electrolyte to prepare the biosensor. The differential pulse voltammetry was used for electrical measurement, and the differential pulse voltammetry curve of IAA in the range of -0.1 to 0.8 V was recorded. The standard curve method was used for quantitative analysis.

[0106] All electrochemical measurements were performed at 10 mM and 5 mM Fe(CN)6. 3− / 4- The experiment was conducted in PBS solution. Fe(CN)6 was utilized using DPV. 3− / 4-The peak current reduction was used to detect IAA. 10 μL of IAA in 10 mM PBS solution of different concentrations was dropped onto the electrode surface and incubated at 37°C for 1 h. The peak current (ΔI) of the electrochemical signal reduction was recorded to reflect the value of IAA, and a calibration curve was constructed.

[0107] Among them, the anti-IAA on the Ti3C2 modified electrode surface can specifically adsorb IAA in the test solution, forming an anti-IAA-IAA complex, which leads to a decrease in the electron transfer rate on the electrode surface, a decrease in the peak current on the sensor working electrode surface detected by the electrochemical workstation, and a linear relationship within a certain IAA concentration range.

[0108] Specifically, the aforementioned biosensor was used to detect different concentrations of IAA. The IAA concentrations included 0 pg / mL, 10 pg / mL, 50 pg / mL, 100 pg / mL, 200 pg / mL, 500 pg / mL, 1000 pg / mL, 5000 pg / mL, and 10000 pg / mL. The detection results are as follows: Figure 4 As shown. From Figure 4 As can be seen, the peak current of DPV is linearly related to the common logarithm of IAA concentration. Quantitative analysis of the sample was performed using a standard curve, the equation of which is y=3.1187x+1.6745, the correlation coefficient is 0.9953, and the detection limit is 2.88 pg / mL (S / N=3).

[0109] Feasibility study

[0110] To verify the feasibility of using the Ti3C2-based nanocomposite material designed in this invention to detect actual samples, as shown in Table 1, IAA was extracted from leaves of different plants and applied to detect IAA in extracts of Arabidopsis thaliana and rice leaves. The measured IAA values ​​were then compared with reference values ​​obtained by LC-MS / MS using the sensor designed in this paper.

[0111] The extraction of IAA from plant leaves includes the following steps:

[0112] Fresh plant leaves were selected and ground into powder using liquid nitrogen. 100 mg of the powder was accurately weighed and added to 1 mL of 80% methanol solution. The mixture was stirred and extracted at 4°C for 12 h. The mixture was then centrifuged at 12000 rpm for 10 min at 4°C. The supernatant was collected, and the extraction was repeated twice. The supernatants were mixed, and all supernatants were placed in the same tube. The tube opening was covered with a dialysis membrane, with a small hole left in the cap to facilitate water evaporation. The tube was then dried in a vacuum concentrator. The concentrated sample was reconstituted with 20% methanol for analysis.

[0114]

[0115] As shown in the table, the relative deviation between the measured values ​​of IAA in rice extract obtained by the biosensor based on Ti3C2 nanocomposite material of this invention and the reference values ​​obtained by LC-MS / MS method was 3.50%, and the relative deviation between the measured values ​​of IAA in Arabidopsis thaliana extract obtained by the biosensor based on Ti3C2 nanocomposite material of this invention and the reference values ​​obtained by LC-MS / MS method was 7.77%. This indicates that the method can be used to analyze IAA in actual plant samples.

[0116] Selective research

[0117] Good selectivity is an important performance characteristic of electrochemical biosensors for detecting IAA. Therefore, to evaluate the selectivity of the biosensor of the present invention, which is loaded with a Ti3C2-based nanocomposite material, gibberellin 200 ng mL was used to detect IAA. -1 The mixture was incubated with 200 ng / mL 1-Naphthylacetic acid, 200 ng / mL salicylic acid, 200 ng / mL jasmonic acid, 200 ng / mL indole-3-butyric acid, and 10 ng / mL indoleacetic acid (IAA). Figure 5 As shown, the ΔI values ​​for gibberellin, naphthaleneacetic acid, salicylic acid, jasmonic acid, indolebutyric acid, and IAA were 2, 2, 1, 2, 1.5, and 14, respectively. Clearly, IAA caused a significant change in the electrochemical signal, with a ΔI value reaching 14. This indicates the good selectivity of the biosensor prepared based on the IAA-specific antibody-antigen reaction.

[0118] In summary, this invention uses Ti3C2 as a template material and employs a self-assembly method to prepare a β-cyclodextrin-metal-organic framework / rGO / Ti3C2 composite nanomaterial modified electrode, with Fe(CN)6 as the template material. 3− / 4- As a probe, the IAA antibody specifically binds to IAA, reducing Fe(CN)6. 3− / 4- The DPV peak current was used to achieve highly sensitive detection of IAA. The constructed biosensor exhibits high selectivity and good stability, with a linear range of 0.01 ng / mL–10 ng / mL, a detection limit of 2.88 pg / mL (S / N=3), and a recovery rate of 88.52%–102.51%. It has been successfully applied in rice and Arabidopsis thaliana plant samples, providing strong methodological support for the electrochemical biosensor detection of auxin.
