Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of detection technology, and in particular to a fluorescent thin film, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Fish is an important source of protein, and due to its low price and high nutritional value, it occupies an important part of the diet. However, because fish tissue cells are more porous than those of livestock meat, bacteria can easily invade the muscle through the gaps in the tissue, thus accelerating spoilage. Besides the loss of nutritional value, spoiled fish can also harm human health. Therefore, assessing the freshness of fish to prevent spoilage during storage and transportation is crucial.

[0003] Currently, there are many methods for detecting fish freshness, including electrochemical, optical, and biosensing methods, which are gradually replacing physicochemical and microbiological analyses to achieve simple and rapid detection. Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy provides relatively intuitive observation results, but it is easily affected by natural light and is difficult to implement in portable applications. Electrochemical methods are widely used due to their low cost and high precision; however, their sensitivity is limited at low temperatures, making it difficult to detect ammonia at low temperatures. Fluorescence methods, due to their inherent excited-state response and high sensitivity to the environment, exhibit high detection sensitivity, making them an important tool in the sensor field.

[0004] Zhang et al. (DIO: 10.1016 / j.foodchem.2022.132521) developed an ammonia-sensitive fluorescent sensor based on an indium phosphide / zinc sulfide core-shell quantum dot and sodium roserate (InP / ZnS-SR) system to determine the freshness of fish meat by observing changes in fluorescence intensity and color. However, the InP / ZnS quantum dots in solution are prone to photobleaching when exposed to harsh excitation light sources, resulting in poor long-term stability. Khan et al. (DIO: 10.1016 / j.colsurfa.2023.131242) developed a pH-sensitive indicator using filter paper and green tea powder (GLP)-derived carbon dots (CDs) (CLP-CDs). They detected shrimp freshness and spoilage based on pH changes caused by total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) concentration. However, the compounds produced during food spoilage are diverse, including acidic volatile compounds in addition to amines, which interfere with the pH-sensitive fluorescent membrane. Although there are many inventions for non-destructive testing of freshness, few of these sensors are insensitive to pH. Currently, there are no reports on using a novel hybrid membrane to effectively reduce quantum dot aggregation, increase the fluorescence intensity of the hybrid membrane, and achieve dynamic quenching of ammonia gas through photoinduced electron transfer for the detection of fish freshness. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention provides a fluorescent thin film, its preparation method, and its application.

[0006] Specifically, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a fluorescent thin film comprising PVA, N-GQDs and MMT.

[0008] The fluorescent film provided by this invention involves polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots (N-GQDs), and montmorillonite (MMT). The layered structure of MMT provides loading sites for N-GQDs, enhancing their dispersibility. The N-GQDs interact and bind with MMT, improving the fluorescence intensity of the fluorescent film (PVA-N-GQDs / MMT hybrid film). In this fluorescent film, N-GQDs are intercalated into MMT, and N-GQDs / MMT are dispersed in PVA, exhibiting excellent fluorescence intensity and ammonia response. The fluorescence of the PVA-N-GQDs / MMT hybrid film of this invention can be quenched by ammonia via photoinduced electron transfer (PET). Due to the presence of electron acceptor groups (-COOH and -CONH2) on the surface of GQDs, the N-GQDs / MMT nanocomposite material becomes an electron acceptor. Ammonia molecules donate electrons through the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom, thus causing the N-GQDs / MMT nanocomposite to undergo quenching upon photoexcitation, such as... Figure 3 As shown in the diagram. Under this mechanism, the hybrid membrane can more accurately reflect the freshness of fish meat through the fitting relationship between fluorescence intensity and ammonia. It can quantitatively detect the ammonia content during changes in fish meat quality. This method has superior fluorescence performance and accuracy, providing a more effective technical means for monitoring and tracking fish meat quality.

Devices, instruments, reagents, etc., whose manufacturers are not specified are all conventional products that can be purchased through legitimate channels.

[0067] Example 1

[0068] This embodiment provides a PVA-N-GQDs / MMT hybrid film. The optimization of the synthesis conditions for the PVA-N-GQDs / MMT hybrid film includes:

[0069] 1. Prepare an aqueous solution of N-GQDs with a pH of 4 to 11. Add 50 μL of 1 mol / L ammonia solution to the solution. Under the condition of excitation wavelength of 365 nm, record the changes in the fluorescence emission spectrum of GQDs every 1 min, as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the fluorescence intensity is optimal at pH=7, so pH=7 was chosen as the experimental environment.

[0070] 2. Under pH=7 conditions, prepare N-GQDs solutions with a concentration of 1-20 mg / mL, and record the fluorescence emission spectrum of the solutions. The fluorescence intensity is maximum at 5 mg / mL, which is the optimal concentration of the N-GQDs solution.

[0071] 3. By recording the fluorescence emission spectra (λex = 365 nm) of three fluorescent films, namely PVA-N-GQDs / 6 mg MMT, PVA-N-GQDs / 8 mg MMT and PVA-N-GQDs / 12 mg MMT, the fluorescence intensity of PVA-N-GQDs / 8 mg MMT was the strongest, that is, the optimal MMT content in the PVA-N-GQDs / MMT hybrid film is 8 mg.

[0072] Example 2

[0073] This embodiment provides the synthesis steps of the PVA-N-GQDs / MMT hybrid film used:

[0074] 1) A mixed solution of salicylic acid (90 nM) and 2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid (8 nM) was irradiated with UV light at 55 °C for 2 hours at a molar ratio of 45:4, and then rapidly cooled to 5 °C to obtain a pale yellow nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dot (N-GQDs) solution (5 mg / mL, pH = 7). Figure 1 As shown in the left image, the N-GQDs are spherical and disperse well in aqueous solution. The particle size distribution of the N-GQDs ranges from 4.5 to 7.0 nm, with the largest proportion (over 90%) being quantum dots with a diameter of 6.0-6.5 nm, exhibiting a normal distribution. Figure 1 As shown in the right image, the N-GQDs have a distinct lattice with a lattice spacing of 0.28 nm.

[0075] 2) Add 10g of MMT to 1000mL of sulfuric acid (2.0M) and stir at 55°C for 48 hours. Subsequently, the etched MMT is washed with deionized water until the pH reaches neutral. Finally, the sample is dried at 35°C and powdered.

[0076] 3) Add 8 mg of etched MMT powder to 10 mL of N-GQDs solution (5 mg / mL, pH=7), and mix to obtain N-GQDs / MMT suspension.

[0077] 4) Add the above N-GQDs / MMT suspension to 10 mL of 6% PVA solution, and then shake well at 80 °C for 40 min. Subsequently, transfer the mixture to a petri dish and dry at 55 °C to obtain the PVA-N-GQDs / MMT hybrid membrane. Figure 2 As shown, a new absorption peak was observed at a wavelength of 314 nm. This phenomenon is thought to be caused by hydrogen bonding. This result further confirms the successful synthesis of N-GQDs / MMT.

[0078] Example 3

[0079] This embodiment provides a calibration method for the PVA-N-GQDs / MMT hybrid film, including the following steps:

[0080] 1. Take 1×2 prepared fluorescent films and place them in a petri dish. Introduce ammonia of different concentrations into the petri dish and detect the changes in fluorescence intensity of the fluorescent films. The concentrations of ammonia are 0, 20, 30, 40, 60, and 70 ppm.

[0081] 2. Measurement of fluorescence intensity: Using an Edinburgh FS5 fluorescence spectrophotometer with an excitation slit width of 3.0 nm and an emission slit width of 3.0 nm, the fluorescence emission spectra of the fluorescent film under different concentrations of ammonia were recorded. Figure 6 And the peak fluorescence emission intensity Imax at the optimal emission spectrum.

[0082] 3. Fit the peak fluorescence intensity of the fluorescent film to the ammonia concentration, such as... Figure 7 As shown in the figure, the fluorescent film of Example 2 exhibits a good linear response to ammonia.

[0083] Calibration curve: y = -14.32x + 1928.55;

[0084] Where y represents the fluorescence intensity after the addition of ammonia, and x represents the concentration of ammonia.

[0085] The fluorescent film was placed in a petri dish, and 10 ppm ammonia was introduced. After 3 min, the fluorescence intensity Ia was recorded as 1779 (au).

[0086] Substituting Ia into the calibration curve described in Example 3, the concentration of ammonia was calculated to be 10.44 ppm. The calculation showed that the error of the method proposed in this invention was within 5.0%. Figure 5 It can be seen that the PVA-N-GQDs / MMT hybrid film has good stability.

[0087] Example 4

[0088] This embodiment provides a method for detecting the freshness of fish meat, including the following steps:

[0089] 1) Fish samples were collected from fresh trout with proper quality assurance.

[0090] TVB-N testing of fish meat: The determination was carried out according to the semi-micro nitrogen determination method in the micro diffusion method of GB 5009.228-2016 "National Food Safety Standard - Determination of Volatile Basic Nitrogen in Food".

[0091] 2) Place the fish meat sample and the fluorescent film from Example 1 together in a sealed container and place them at different temperatures (20°C and -2°C).

[0092] 3) The fluorescence intensity (λex = 365 nm, λem = 440 nm) and total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) content were measured every 4 hours and 3 days, respectively.

[0093] The specific operation is as follows: Measurement of fluorescence emission spectrum intensity I: The fluorescence emission intensity I of the sample at the excitation wavelength of λex = 365 nm and the optimal emission spectrum λem = 440 nm was recorded using a fluorescence spectrophotometer (same as in Example 3).

[0094] 4) Plot the peak intensity Imax of the fluorescence emission spectrum of the fluorescent film against the correction curve of TVB-N content in trout.

[0095] 5) The fluorescence intensity of the hybrid membrane is linearly correlated with the TVB-N content accumulated in trout during storage at different temperatures (20℃ and -2℃). The freshness of fish can be detected by detecting fluorescence intensity instead of traditional physicochemical indicators.

[0096] Example 5

[0097] Fluorescent films (PVA-N-GQDs / MMT hybrid films) were prepared using the same method as in Example 2, except that step 3) was performed by increasing the MMT powder from 8 mg to 12 mg and adding different concentrations of ammonia (0-70 ppm) to the pre-cut PVA-N-GQDs / MMT films, and then measuring their fluorescence intensity.

[0098] The results show that, compared with Example 2, the accuracy of the MMT excess film is poor, such as... Figure 8 As shown.

[0099] Example 6

[0100] Fluorescent films (PVA-N-GQDs / MMT) were prepared using the same method as in Example 2. The fluorescence intensity of the films was measured continuously for 6 weeks, and the change rate was consistently within 10%, demonstrating that the fluorescent film exhibits good stability. Figure 5As shown. Due to the layered structure of MMT, it possesses high porosity and surface area, providing numerous binding sites for N-GQDs for adsorption and immobilization, effectively enhancing the stability of quantum dots.

[0101] Example 7

[0102] The fluorescent film (PVA-N-GQDs / MMT) was prepared using the same method as in Example 2, except that in step 3), 8 mg of etched MMT powder was added to 10 mL of N-GQDs solution (5 mg / mL, pH = 9), and after mixing, an N-GQDs / MMT suspension was obtained.

[0103] The results showed that, compared with Example 2, the fluorescence intensity of PVA-N-GQDs / MMT was poor at pH=9.

[0104] Comparative Example 1

[0105] This comparative example provides a method for detecting fish freshness based on indium phosphide / zinc sulfide core-shell quantum dots and sodium roserite (CN114397281A). The method for detecting fish freshness provided in invention CN114397281A uses an MPA-InP / ZnS QDs-SR aqueous solution to detect ammonia. However, liquid fluorescence sensors suffer from poor portability and face challenges in integration with electronic devices. The fluorescent thin-film sensor proposed in this invention overcomes the limitations of liquid fluorescence sensors.

[0106] Comparative Example 2

[0107] Fluorescent films (PVA-N-GQDs) were prepared using the same method as in Example 1, except that they contained only N-GQDs quantum dots. Ammonia water of different concentrations (0-70 ppm) was added to the pre-cut PVA-N-GQDs films, and their fluorescence intensity was measured.

[0108] The results showed that only graphene quantum dot fluorescent films exhibited poor fluorescence intensity and low precision, such as... Figure 9 As shown.

[0109] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
