Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to novel applications of Ni-Fc MOF nanomaterials, specifically to Ni-Fc MOF nanomaterials as Hg 2+ Application of detection probes. Background Technology

[0002] Hg 2+ Trace detection methods mainly focus on high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), and atomic absorption / emission spectroscopy (AAS / AES). While these methods offer high sensitivity and good selectivity, they often involve complex pretreatment processes, are time-consuming, require expensive instruments and specialized operators, making them unsuitable for environmental monitoring and food quality and safety evaluation. This limits their further application in routine analysis. Therefore, developing a suitable alternative for Hg detection that not only possesses comparable sensitivity and selectivity to the aforementioned methods but also avoids their drawbacks is crucial. 2+ Detection methods are essential. To achieve this goal, colorimetric analysis methods based on nanozymes have been developed. Nanozymes are a class of nanomaterials that can mimic natural enzymes and have been widely used in fields such as biosensing, tumor therapy, antibacterial agents, and environmental remediation.

[0003] Due to the outstanding advantages of nanozymes, such as simple preparation, high stability, and excellent catalytic performance, the colorimetric detection of Hg based on nanozymes has become a popular application. 2+ Pioneering research has been established. In previous studies, Hg 2+ The regulation of the catalytic activity of noble metal nanozymes (such as Au, Pt, Ag, etc.) enables the incorporation of these noble metal nanozymes into Hg. 2+ In colorimetric detection, its regulation mechanism is Hg. 2+ They adsorb onto the surface of noble metals and form corresponding alloys. However, the aggregation of noble metal nanoparticles and their high cost limit their application in Hg... 2+ Further applications in detection. To overcome these limitations, some non-noble metal nanozyme complexes, such as MPA-CeO2, ZnS@β-CD, NH2-MIL-101(Fe)@Cu / CeO2, and NSC / Co6Ni3S8, have also been used to prepare Hg. 2+ The colorimetric probes used for detection. However, in these non-noble metal nanozyme complexes, only one component on the hybrid is actually catalytically active. Undoubtedly, this strategy of binding nanozymes to other functional molecules may block the pathway of the target analyte to the active site, thus reducing the sensitivity of the nanozyme for target analyte detection. In addition, currently reported methods for detecting Hg... 2+The colorimetric sensing probe mainly utilizes the peroxidase activity of nanozymes (and inevitably adds hydrogen peroxide to the reaction system), which undoubtedly increases the possibility of functional molecules on the surface of nanozymes binding to interfering substances in complex sample matrices, making it difficult to guarantee its selectivity and anti-interference performance.

[0022] 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 embodiments described below are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them, and do not impose any limitations on the present invention. Any use of the technical solutions of this embodiment, including simple variations thereof, falls within the scope of protection of the present invention. The experimental reagents used in this invention are all commercially available and have not undergone further processing; the instruments and equipment are all commonly used. Unless otherwise specified, all reagent concentrations are molar concentrations.

[0023] Example 1: Method for preparing this Ni-Fc MOF nanomaterial

[0024] This embodiment provides a method for preparing Ni-Fc MOF, including the following steps:

[0025] First, dissolve 1 mmol of Fc(COOH)2 in 16 mL of DMF solution to obtain solution A; dissolve 1 mmol of NiCl2·6H2O in 8 mL of ultrapure water to obtain solution B; then, sonicate solutions A and B separately for 15 min, and after the two reagents are completely dissolved, mix them and purge with oxygen for 10 min.

[0026] Next, the mixture was transferred into a 50 mL Teflon-lined stainless steel autoclave and reacted at 125 °C for 12 h.

[0027] Then, after the reactants were allowed to cool naturally to room temperature, the resulting brown sample was taken out and washed three times with ethanol to remove excess impurities.

[0028] The material obtained in this embodiment was characterized as follows:

[0029] (1) Scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy: such as Figure 1 As shown in a, 1b, and 1c, the Ni-Fc MOF nanomaterials obtained in this embodiment exhibit a flower-like structure composed of superimposed two-dimensional scale-like sheets; elemental distribution diagram ( Figure 1 d) shows that C, O, Ni and Fe elements are uniformly distributed within the crystal structure, confirming the successful preparation of Ni-Fc MOF nanoflowers; quantitative data show that the C content in Ni-FcMOF nanoflowers is very high (47.74%, Wt%), indicating that this bimetallic Ni-Fc MOF material is mainly supported by a carbon framework.

[0030] (2) X-ray single-crystal diffraction pattern: such as Figure 1 As shown in Figure e, the typical diffraction peaks of Ni-Fc MOF nanoflowers are located at 6.21°, 11.57°, 12.48°, 14.70°, 16.29°, 17.62° and 18.78°, which are consistent with the (200), (003), (400), (001), (201), (401) and (600) crystal planes of the existing Zn-Fc MOF crystal structure, indicating that Ni-Fc MOF nanoflowers have high crystal purity.

[0031] (3) Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy: such as Figure 1 As shown in f, Ni-Fc MOF nanoflowers are at 3442 cm⁻¹ -1 The presence of a strong characteristic absorption band at this location is mainly attributed to the OH stretching vibration, indicating that Ni-Fc MOF nanoflowers possess a certain degree of hydrophilicity. This property is beneficial for their application in analytical sensing. Furthermore, the characteristic absorption band of Ni-Fc MOF nanoflowers was found to be mainly concentrated in the 1750-400 cm⁻¹ range. -1 Between, 1650cm -1 and 1190cm -1The two characteristic absorptions at 1575 cm⁻¹ are mainly attributed to the stretching vibrations of C=O and CO in the -COOH group, while the absorption at 1575 cm⁻¹ is... -1 The shoulder peak at 1489 cm⁻¹ is considered to be the stretching vibration of C=O in the COO- group, which is mainly related to the coordination number of the oxygen atom and nickel atom in the carboxylic acid group of the ferrocene unit. -1 1396cm -1 and 1035cm -1 The characteristic peaks are distributed on the C=C stretching vibration, CH bending vibration, and CC deformation vibration of the organic ligands, respectively. Notably, the 780 cm⁻¹ peak... -1 and 489cm -1 The peak values ​​belong to the stretching vibrations of the Cp-Fe bonds and the deformation vibrations of the Fe-O bonds, while 530 cm⁻¹... -1 The peak values ​​belong to the tensile vibrations of Ni-O, and these results provide strong evidence for the successful preparation of Ni-Fc MOF nanoflowers.

[0032] (4) XPS photoelectron spectroscopy: such as Figure 1 As shown in g, 1h, and 1i, the Ni-Fc MOF nanoflowers are composed of C (69.41%, at.%), O (20.29%, at.%), Ni (5.41%, at.%), and Fe (4.56%, at.%) elements. In the Ni 2p spectrum, the peaks at 855.7 eV, 856.9 eV, 873.1 eV, and 874.9 eV can be attributed to Ni. 2+ 2p3 / 2, Ni 3+ 2p3 / 2, Ni 2+ 2p1 / 2 and Ni 3+ 2p1 / 2 binding energy. In the Fe2p spectrum, the peaks at 711.1 eV, 714.2 eV, 723.9 eV, and 726.9 eV represent Fe2 binding energies. 2 + 2p3 / 2, Fe 3+ 2p3 / 2, Fe 2+ 2p1 / 2 and Fe 3+ 2p¹ / ² binding energy. The above XPS results indicate that the metal center of the Ni-Fc MOF nanoflower possesses a hybrid element valence state (Ni). 2+ / Ni 3+ and Fe 2+ / Fe 3+ This is beneficial for the separation of photons and the transfer of electrons.
