Description

Technical Field

[0002] The unique physical and chemical properties of noble metal nanoparticles lay the foundation for their use as materials for electrochemical sensors. However, the high surface energy makes noble metal nanoparticles prone to aggregation, thus hindering the exhibition of their excellent electrochemical properties. Composite of noble metal nanoparticles with carbon materials is an effective way to improve their dispersibility. Graphene has excellent charge mobility, a large specific surface area and good flexibility, and is an ideal substrate material for loading metal nanoparticles. The chemical reduction method is a commonly used graphene preparation method, but reducing agents such as hydrazine hydrate and sodium borohydride are harmful to humans and the environment, and the graphene sheets obtained using them are prone to stacking, resulting in a reduction in electrochemically active sites.

[0003] Bisphenol A can be used to prepare polymer materials such as polycarbonate and epoxy resin, and is thus widely used in the production of baby bottles, water cups, food packaging, etc. However, bisphenol A belongs to environmental estrogen compounds, which can cause disorders of the endocrine system and nervous system and reduce the body's immune function.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] (1) The present invention uses graphene oxide as the basic raw material and prepares alanine-functionalized graphene modified with gold-silver alloy nanoparticles ((Au-Ag)-Ala-Gr) by a simple continuous reduction method. First, graphene oxide is uniformly dispersed in water by ultrasonic treatment. The oxygen-containing groups of graphene oxide can serve as the nucleation centers of nano-gold, improving the dispersion and stability of nano-gold. After the formation of gold nanoparticles, silver nitrate is added to form Au-Ag alloy nanoparticles. In this process, alanine acts as a reducing agent for metal ions and graphene oxide, avoiding the use of harmful reducing agents, and alanine is cheap; the covalent bonding of alanine to the surface of graphene is conducive to the formation of a homogeneous and stable aqueous dispersion of the composite material, exposing more electrochemically active sites of graphene. The covalent modification of alanine on the surface of graphene effectively changes the surface state of graphene, thereby reducing the stacking of graphene. In addition, compared with single metal nanoparticles, the synergistic effect of the bimetal makes it more advantageous in terms of the enrichment ability and conductivity of target molecules when used as a modification material for electrochemical sensors.

[0021] (2) The (Au-Ag)-Ala-Gr / GCE electrochemical sensor prepared by modifying the surface of a glassy carbon electrode with the (Au-Ag)-Ala-Gr composite material has a linear range of response to bisphenol A of 3.0×10 -8 mol·L -1 ~4.0×10 -6 mol·L -1 , and the detection limit is 9.0×10 -9 mol L -1 (S / N = 3). The present invention constructs a new type of electrochemical sensor for detecting bisphenol A, and when using this sensor to establish a bisphenol A detection method, it shows the characteristics of simple operation, accuracy, and sensitivity.

[0064] Dilute different volumes of bisphenol A standard solutions to 10 mL with PBS buffer solution at pH = 3.0 to prepare bisphenol A test solutions with different concentrations. Select linear sweep voltammetry, and the specific parameters for detecting bisphenol A with the electrochemical sensor (Au-Ag)-Ala-Gr / GCE are as follows: Use the electrochemical sensor (Au-Ag)-Ala-Gr / GCE as the working electrode, and use a saturated calomel electrode and a platinum wire electrode as the reference electrode and the counter electrode respectively to form a three-electrode system. Set the potential range to 0.3 - 1.1 V, the scanning speed to 0.1 V·s -1 、The enrichment time is 210 s, and record the peak currents at different bisphenol A concentrations. After each measurement, immerse the three-electrode system in PBS with a concentration of 0.1 mol·L -1 、pH = 8.0, set the potential range to 0.3 - 1.1 V, and use cyclic voltammetry to scan for two cycles to update the surface of the electrochemical sensor (Au-Ag)-Ala-Gr / GCE. In the concentration range of 3.0×10 -8 mol·L -1 ~2×10 -6 mol·L -1 , the peak current value has a linear relationship with the concentration of bisphenol A, and the detection limit of this method is 9.0×10 -9 mol·L -1 .

The spiked recovery rate of the lake water sample was 99.2% - 103.2%, and the spiked recovery rate of bisphenol A in mineral water in plastic bottles was 98.9% - 102.7%.

[0066] Figure 1 This is a photo of the (Au-Ag)-Ala-Gr aqueous dispersion obtained in this example after standing naturally for 4 weeks. No precipitation occurred in the dispersion, and it still showed a uniform texture, indicating that the material can maintain good dispersion stability in water.

[0067] Figure 2This is the TEM image of the (Au-Ag)-Ala-Gr composite material obtained in this example. As Figure 2 shown, the graphene presents a single-layer structure, indicating that the functional modification of alanine effectively prevents the agglomeration and stacking of graphene. The Au-Ag alloy nanoparticles are distributed on the surface of the graphene sheets, and no metal nanoparticles appear in the space outside the graphene sheets, indicating that the Au-Ag alloy nanoparticles can be firmly loaded on the surface of graphene.

[0068] Figure 3 (a) This is the STEM-EDS analysis image of the (Au-Ag)-Ala-Gr composite material obtained in this example. The different contrasts of the nanoparticles indicate different metal elements. Figure 3 (b) This is the line scan elemental distribution image of the (Au-Ag)-Ala-Gr composite material obtained in this example, further indicating that the two metals are Au and Ag elements respectively, and it can be determined that the Au-Ag alloy nanoparticles are loaded on the surface of graphene.

[0069] Figure 4 These are the FT-IR spectra of graphene oxide (GO) and the (Au-Ag)-Ala-Gr composite material obtained in this example. Characteristic peaks of oxygen-containing groups appear in the curve of GO: C=O (1733 cm -1 ), C-O-H (1396 cm -1 ), C-O-C (1223 cm -1 ), C-O (1060 cm -1 ). In the curve of (Au-Ag)-Ala-Gr, some of the peaks at the corresponding positions disappear or weaken, indicating that GO is reduced. The absorption peak at 1470 cm -1 is caused by the bending vibration of N–H, and the absorption peak at 1407 cm -1 is attributed to the stretching vibration of C–N. The appearance of these peaks indicates that alanine is covalently bonded to graphene.

[0070] Figure 5 These are the cyclic voltammograms when detecting bisphenol A (1.0×10 -4 mol·L -1 ) using different electrochemical sensors. The electrodes corresponding to a→e are GCE (a), Ala-Gr / GCE (b), Ag-Ala-Gr / GCE (c), Au-Ala-Gr / GCE (d), (Au-Ag)-Ala-Gr / GCE (e) obtained in Example 3 in turn. From Figure 5It can be seen that when using GCE(a), the peak current of bisphenol A is 6.4 μA. When replaced with Ala-Gr / GCE(b), the peak current is 22.6 μA. The peak current of bisphenol A on Ala-Gr / GCE is greater than that on GCE, indicating that graphene has good electrical properties, and the modification of alanine can reduce the stacking degree of graphene, increase the specific surface area of the material, and thus enhance the enrichment ability for bisphenol A. Compared with Ala-Gr / GCE, when using Ag-Ala-Gr / GCE(c) and Au-Ala-Gr / GCE(d), the peak currents of bisphenol A both increase, with the values being 23.9 μA and 25.2 μA respectively. This shows that the introduction of Ag and Au nanoparticles increases the electroactive sites of the material. Compared with Ag-Ala-Gr / GCE and Au-Ala-Gr / GCE, the peak current of the curve corresponding to (Au-Ag)-Ala-Gr / GCE is larger, with a value of 29.9 μA, indicating that: compared with single-metal Ag and Au nanoparticles, the synergistic effect of the two metals further improves the electrochemical performance of the material.

[0071] Figure 6 Figure 4 shows the linear voltammetric scanning curves obtained when using the (Au-Ag)-Ala-Gr / GCE electrochemical sensor of this embodiment to measure bisphenol A at different concentrations. The concentrations corresponding to curves a→h are successively: 3.0×10 -8 、7.0×10 -8 、1.0×10 -7 、3.0×10 -7 、5.0×10 -7 、7.0×10 -7 、1.0×10 -6 、2.0×10 -6 . As the concentration increases, the oxidation peak current of bisphenol A increases.

[0072] Figure 7 Figure 5 shows the relationship between the peak current and the concentration when using the (Au-Ag)-Ala-Gr / GCE electrochemical sensor of this embodiment to measure bisphenol A at different concentrations. It can be seen from the figure that in the concentration range of 3.0×10 -8 ~2.0×10 -6 , the peak current shows a linear relationship with the concentration of bisphenol A.
