Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of electrochemical sensor technology, specifically to a method for preparing and applying a sensor for nitrite detection. Background Technology

[0002] Nitrite, a highly toxic inorganic pollutant, is widely distributed in industry, agriculture, the environment, food, and even physiological systems. However, its excessive presence poses serious threats to public health and the ecological environment. Short-term inhalation of small amounts of nitrite may trigger acute poisoning, while long-term intake can lead to various diseases, including potential carcinogenic risks. High concentrations of nitrite not only harm aquatic organisms and cause economic losses in aquaculture but also pose a persistent chronic threat to human health. Therefore, developing an efficient, accurate, economical, and sensitive sensing technology suitable for nitrite detection in aquaculture is of significant practical importance for both human health and environmental monitoring.

[0003] To date, the main methods for detecting nitrite include ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, chemiluminescence spectroscopy, electrochemical spectroscopy, and chromatography. However, these processes often require expensive equipment, incur high costs, or involve cumbersome processing procedures, hindering their practical application. Electrochemical sensors, with their advantages of high sensitivity, low cost, fast response, portability, and feasibility of on-site analysis, have been widely used in environmental monitoring and other fields. This invention is based on a noble metal-modified metal oxide semiconductor-based electrochemical sensor, achieving highly sensitive detection of nitrite. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for preparing and applying a sensor for nitrite detection, so as to solve the problems mentioned above.

[0005] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A method for preparing a sensor for nitrite detection includes the following steps:

[0007] S1: Mix terephthalic acid and indium nitrate tetrahydrate with deionized water to obtain mixed solution A. Soak mixed solution A in a water bath and sonicate it. Then stir it with a magnetic stirrer for 30-60 minutes. Then transfer mixed solution A to a steel autoclave lined with polytetrafluoroethylene and place it in an oven to react for 4-6 hours.

[0008] S2: Remove the supernatant from the mixed solution A, wash with ethanol and sonicate, then centrifuge in a high-speed centrifuge, and dry the mixture after removing the supernatant in an oven for 6-12 hours to obtain the indium oxide particle precursor.

[0009] S3: High-temperature annealing treatment of indium oxide particle precursor to obtain indium oxide nanoparticles;

[0010] S4: The aqueous solution of HAuCl4, indium oxide nanoparticles and reducing agent (NH4)2CO3 solution were mixed and stirred for 2 hours. After centrifugation, the composite product was separated from the solution and washed with ultrapure water. Then, it was dried in an oven for 3-6 hours to obtain the gold-indium oxide nanocomposite.

[0011] S5: Take the glassy carbon electrode and polish it with alumina powder, then rinse it with deionized water;

[0012] The gold-indium oxide nanocomposite prepared in S4 was dispersed in ethanol solution, ultrapure water and Nafion solution to prepare an aqueous suspension of the gold-indium oxide nanocomposite;

[0013] 10 μL of gold-indium oxide nanocomposite suspension was dropped onto the surface of a glassy carbon electrode and dried to obtain a composite glassy carbon electrode.

[0014] S6: Using the composite glassy carbon electrode prepared in S5 as the working electrode, the platinum wire electrode as the counter electrode, and the silver / silver chloride electrode as the reference electrode, a sensor for nitrite detection is prepared.

[0015] As a further aspect of the present invention: in S2, the mass fraction of ethanol is 99.7%, and the drying temperature in the oven is 60°C.

[0017] As a further aspect of the present invention: in S5, the diameter of the alumina powder is 0.05 μm.

[0018] As a further aspect of the present invention: an application of a nitrite detection sensor, characterized in that the sensor is prepared using the preparation method described above;

[0019] Includes the following steps:

[0020] Q1: Determine the optimal pH value for sensor detection:

[0021] Phosphate buffer solutions with different pH values ​​but the same concentration were prepared, and a 0.5M nitrite solution was also prepared. The sensor prepared in S6 was used to test the response of nitrite concentration to current at different pH values. The corresponding nitrite current was measured in phosphate buffer solutions with different pH values ​​using cyclic voltammetry. By comparing the peak current values, the pH value corresponding to the maximum peak current value was found, and the optimal pH range of the buffer solution for sensor detection was determined to be 7.36-7.4.

[0022] Q2: Detection of nitrite concentration:

[0023] Based on the optimal pH range of 7.36-7.4 obtained in Q1, phosphate buffer solution was prepared as the electrolyte; nitrite solutions of different concentrations were prepared, ranging from 10 to 5000 μmol·L⁻¹. -1 The peak current values ​​corresponding to different concentrations of nitrite solutions were measured using the differential pulse voltammetry method with the sensor prepared in S6. The functional relationship between nitrite concentration and peak current was calculated, and a linear relationship graph between peak current and nitrite concentration was plotted. Nitrite in aquaculture was detected using an electrochemical sensor, and the peak current value was obtained. The concentration of nitrite in aquaculture was calculated using the obtained linear relationship graph.

[0024] As a further aspect of the present invention: the concentration of the phosphate buffer solution in Q1 is 0.1M.

[0025] As a further aspect of the present invention: the optimal pH value determined in Q1 is used to prepare a phosphate buffer solution for detecting nitrite solutions of different concentrations.

[0026] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

Furthermore, the prepared glassy carbon electrode has a gold-indium oxide nanocomposite surface, which... Figure 2 and Figure 3 It can be seen that the material of this sensor, due to the loading of gold nanoparticles, has unique conductivity and chemical stability, and the surface area is increased. During the detection process, the contact area between the detection material and the test solution is increased, which effectively enhances the enrichment of nitrite on the surface of the working electrode, giving it a positive effect on electrocatalytic performance and facilitating the monitoring of nitrite.

[0028] In the process of sensor fabrication, only ordinary instruments are needed, the process cost is low, and the fabrication method is simple and easy to operate;

[0029] (2) Correspond the obtained peak current values ​​to the nitrite ion concentrations one-to-one, calculate the functional relationship between nitrite concentration and peak current, and plot the linear relationship between peak current and nitrite ion concentration. The results are as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the linear detection range of this sensor for nitrite is 10-500 μmol·L⁻¹. -1 and 500-5000 μmol·L -1 The regression equations are I1(μA)=0.0097C1(μmol)+5.24(R) 2 =0.995) and I2(μA)=0.014C2(μmol)+2.23(R 2 =0.998). Then, an electrochemical sensor was used to detect nitrite in aquaculture, and the peak current value was obtained. Using the linear relationship between the peak current and the nitrite ion concentration, the concentration of nitrite in the sample can be calculated.

[0030] The linear regression equation of this sensor was calculated, proving its detection accuracy in nitrite detection in aquaculture. It has broad prospects and can effectively monitor the concentration of nitrite in aquaculture waters, providing important reference and guidance for the aquaculture industry.

[0037] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0038] Indium oxide (In₂O₃), as an important wide-bandgap N-type semiconductor material, has been extensively studied due to its superior optical and electrical properties and high stability. However, In₂O₃, with its relatively low specific surface area, does not exhibit sufficient conductivity and electrochemical sensing characteristics. Therefore, doping, pore formation, or surface modification of In₂O₃ are employed to improve its conductivity and electrochemical sensing properties. Studies have shown that gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), as a typical noble metal catalyst, possess good conductivity and exhibit strong catalytic activity for the oxidation of nitrite.

[0039] Based on the above description, the present invention aims to provide a method for preparing a sensor for the detection of nitrite in aquaculture.

[0072] A phosphate buffer solution with a pH of 5.60 and a concentration of 0.1 M was prepared, and a nitrite solution with a concentration of 0.5 M was also prepared. The three-electrode sensor system prepared in the above example was used to conduct experiments to detect the response of nitrite concentration to current at different pH values. In phosphate buffer solutions with different pH values, the corresponding nitrite current was measured by cyclic pulse voltammetry. By comparing the peak current magnitudes, the pH value corresponding to the maximum peak current value could be determined, thus establishing the optimal pH value of the buffer solution for sensor detection as 7.38.

[0073] Step W2: Detect the nitrite concentration;

[0074] Different concentrations of nitrite solutions were prepared, and a phosphate buffer solution with a pH of 7.38 was prepared as the supporting electrolyte. The three electrodes were then placed in these nitrite solutions. The current response caused by nitrite at different concentrations was measured using differential pulse voltammetry. Wastewater from aquaculture was collected, and the working electrodes were placed in each solution. Cyclic voltammetry was used to obtain the corresponding peak current values. The above steps were repeated three times, and the average value was taken.

[0075] The obtained peak current values ​​and nitrite ion concentrations were correlated one-to-one, and the functional relationship between nitrite concentration and peak current was calculated. A linear relationship graph between peak current and nitrite ion concentration was then plotted. The results are as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the linear detection range of this sensor for nitrite is 10-500 μmol·L⁻¹. -1 and 500-5000 μmol·L -1 The regression equations are I1(μA)=0.0097C1(μmol)+5.24(R) 2 =0.995) and I2(μA)=0.014C2(μmol)+2.23(R 2 =0.998). Then, an electrochemical sensor was used to detect nitrite in aquaculture, and the peak current value was obtained. Using the linear relationship between the peak current and the nitrite ion concentration, the concentration of nitrite in the sample can be calculated.

[0076] The linear regression equation of this sensor was calculated, proving the detection accuracy of the nitrite detection sensor used in aquaculture.

[0077] Example 4

In phosphate buffer solutions with different pH values, the corresponding nitrite current was measured by cyclic voltammetry. By comparing the peak current values, the pH value corresponding to the maximum peak current value could be determined, thus establishing the optimal pH value of the buffer solution for sensor detection as 7.38.

[0080] Step W2: Detect the nitrite concentration;

[0081] Nitrite solutions of different concentrations were prepared, and phosphate buffer solution under the same conditions was prepared as the supporting electrolyte. The three electrodes were then placed in these nitrite solutions. The current response caused by nitrite at different concentrations was measured using differential pulse voltammetry. Wastewater from aquaculture was collected, and the working electrodes were placed in each solution. The corresponding peak current values ​​were obtained using differential pulse voltammetry. This process was repeated three times, and the average value was taken.

[0082] The obtained peak current values ​​and nitrite ion concentrations were correlated one-to-one, and the functional relationship between nitrite concentration and peak current was calculated. A linear relationship graph between peak current and nitrite ion concentration was then plotted. The results are as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the linear detection range of this sensor for nitrite is 10-500 μmol·L⁻¹. -1 and 500-5000 μmol·L -1 The regression equations are I1(μA)=0.0097C1(μmol)+5.24(R) 2 =0.995) and I2(μA)=0.014C2(μmol)+2.23(R 2 =0.998). Then, an electrochemical sensor was used to detect nitrite in aquaculture, and the peak current value was obtained. Using the linear relationship between the peak current and the nitrite ion concentration, the concentration of nitrite in the sample can be calculated.

[0083] The linear regression equation of this sensor was calculated, proving the detection accuracy of the nitrite detection sensor used in aquaculture.

[0084] Experimental results show that the sensor has a significant catalytic effect on nitrite, with high sensitivity and fast response. It overcomes the shortcomings of traditional detection methods, such as high cost, long processing time, and complex operation. Therefore, it has certain guiding and reference value for the aquaculture industry, and its application in aquaculture has broad prospects. It can effectively monitor the concentration of nitrite in aquaculture waters, providing important reference and guidance for the aquaculture industry.
