Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of heavy metal ion detection in water environment, and in particular to a heavy metal ion detection method based on an aggregation-induced enhanced fluorescence sensor array. Background Art

[0002] Heavy metal ions generated in industrial activities are usually difficult to biodegrade, and then cause harm to human health through the food chain. Therefore, accurate quantification of multiple heavy metal ions in complex environments is crucial to environmental protection and human health. Several established instrumental methods, such as X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF), atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS), and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), can be used to detect heavy metal ions, but the operating procedures are cumbersome, rely on large instruments, and it is difficult to achieve simultaneous identification of multiple heavy metal ions. The same is true for traditional specific sensing methods. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new method that can simultaneously identify and accurately quantify multiple heavy metal ions.

[0003] Sensor arrays, also known as "chemical noses", are composed of multiple semi-selective sensing elements that can generate a unique "fingerprint" for each analyte. Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) are used to intelligently classify data to obtain "fingerprint" information to achieve the purpose of distinguishing multiple analytes. Among them, the recognition element is the cornerstone of the analytical performance of the sensor array and is crucial to the analytical performance of the sensor array. Among these sensing elements, gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) stand out due to their unique optical properties and programmability of surface ligands. However, since the luminescence efficiency of AuNCs is affected by the vibration and spin of the intramolecular ligands, the fluorescence quantum yield of the sensor array based on nanoclusters is low and the analytical performance is weak. At present, there are many attempts to improve the luminescence efficiency of AuNCs. For example, in-situ selective doping of silver atoms in AuNCs is performed to improve the luminescence efficiency by reducing non-radiative losses. However, noble metal doping increases the experimental cost and the luminescence efficiency is also limited. Summary of the invention
