Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of heavy metal detection technology, and relates to a method for detecting cadmium ions and lead ions in water, specifically a method for detecting cadmium ions and lead ions in water using a screen-printed electrode electrochemical sensor. Background Technology
[0002] Due to the widespread use of metallic materials, lead and cadmium heavy metal pollutants frequently appear in aquatic environments, along with lead (II, Pb). 2+ Cadmium (II, Cd) can damage the brain, nervous system, and liver. 2+ Heavy metals like lead and cadmium, which can enter the aquatic environment, may cause kidney dysfunction and metabolic disorders, potentially threatening human health. Therefore, it is crucial to monitor cadmium ions (Cd) in water bodies. 2 + ) and lead ions (Pb 2+ Accurate detection of these substances is of great significance for reducing their danger to human health.
[0003] Currently, traditional methods for heavy metal detection include atomic fluorescence spectrometry, atomic absorption spectrophotometry, dithizone spectrophotometry, and oscillometric polarography. Although these methods are relatively mature, they still have some unavoidable drawbacks, such as the need for large equipment and specialized personnel, complex testing procedures, and inconvenience in portability. This limits their application in rapid, portable heavy metal detection. Anodic stripping voltammetry is one of the electrochemical detection methods, characterized by its simplicity and rapid detection, making it very suitable for on-site detection. However, existing electrochemical detection methods based on anodic stripping voltammetry typically use electrochemical sensors constructed with glassy carbon electrodes as the working electrode to detect heavy metals in water. Because these electrochemical sensors are difficult to miniaturize and simplify, the aforementioned detection methods are unable to achieve on-site detection of heavy metals in water. To overcome the aforementioned problems, some researchers have proposed using screen-printed electrodes as working electrodes to construct miniaturized and simplified electrochemical sensors, which would facilitate the on-site detection of heavy metals in water. However, existing electrochemical sensors based on screen-printed electrodes still suffer from drawbacks such as poor thermal stability, poor adsorption capacity, and poor conductivity. These drawbacks result in poor detection sensitivity and narrow detection range, making it difficult for detection methods based on screen-printed electrode electrochemical sensors to obtain accurate detection data and meet the detection limits required by national standards. In other words, it is impossible to determine whether the concentration of heavy metals in water meets the national standards, which greatly limits the widespread application of detection methods based on screen-printed electrode electrochemical sensors. For example, when using a screen-printed electrode modified with reduced graphene oxide (RGO) / molybdenum dioxide (MoS2) composite material and seeded with Hep G2 cells as the working electrode to construct a portable cell electrochemical sensor, its detection limit for cadmium ions is 5 μM, still exhibiting low detection sensitivity. Similarly, using a bismuth-containing screen-printed electrode as the working electrode, the detection limit for cadmium ions is 4.8 μg / L, again showing low sensitivity. Using a polyaniline-modified screen-printed electrode as the working electrode, the detection limit for cadmium ions is 5.41 μg / L, still exhibiting low sensitivity. Furthermore, using a UIO-66-modified screen-printed electrode as the working electrode, the sensor suffers from poor detection sensitivity and a narrow detection range due to the inherent limitations of screen-printed electrodes, such as poor thermal stability, poor adsorption capacity, and poor conductivity. Therefore, obtaining a screen-printed electrode electrochemical sensor with high detection sensitivity and wide detection range is of great significance for the simple and accurate detection of cadmium and lead ions in water.

[0047] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are as follows:
[0048] To address the shortcomings of existing detection methods based on screen-printed electrode electrochemical sensors, such as poor detection sensitivity and narrow detection range, which lead to difficulties in accurately detecting heavy metal concentrations in water and poor applicability, this invention provides a method for detecting cadmium and lead ions in water using a screen-printed electrode electrochemical sensor. First, a screen-printed electrode with a reaction end surface modified with ZIF-8 / MWCNT nanocomposite material is used as the working electrode to construct a screen-printed electrode electrochemical sensor. Then, the screen-printed electrode electrochemical sensor is used to electrochemically detect solutions containing cadmium and / or lead ions, obtaining the peak current changes of the solution containing cadmium and / or lead ions. Finally, based on the peak current changes of the solution containing cadmium and / or lead ions, the concentrations of cadmium and lead ions in the solution are calculated using a linear regression equation between cadmium and lead ions and the peak current changes.

On the one hand, the ZIF-8 used has excellent chemical and thermal stability and good adsorption capacity, thus facilitating the adsorption of cadmium and lead ions in water. On the other hand, the multi-walled carbon nanotubes used are porous nanomaterials with excellent physical and adsorption properties, thus also working in conjunction with ZIF-8 to enhance the composite material. The material can efficiently adsorb cadmium and lead ions in water. Furthermore, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) modify the surface of ZIF-8 and / or penetrate its interior, significantly enhancing the conductivity between ZIF-8 molecules. Therefore, modifying this ZIF-8 / MWCNT nanocomposite material onto the reaction end surface of the screen-printed electrode results in a faster current response and a larger current intensity. This gives the screen-printed electrode electrochemical sensor of this invention a wider detection range and higher detection sensitivity. Based on this, when used to detect solutions containing cadmium and / or lead ions, detection becomes more convenient, faster, simpler, more sensitive, and more accurate, and it can achieve rapid simultaneous detection of both lead and cadmium ions. This invention's method for detecting cadmium and lead ions in water using a screen-printed electrode electrochemical sensor has advantages such as simple operation, low cost, high detection efficiency, and high detection accuracy. It enables on-site detection of cadmium and lead ions in water, and is convenient and accurate. 2+ Al 2+ Fe 2+ Ca 2+ Co 2+It has strong anti-interference ability against interference factors, which is of great significance for achieving efficient detection of heavy metal cadmium and lead ions in the water environment.

[0059] Example 1
[0060] A method for detecting cadmium and lead ions in water using a screen-printed electrode electrochemical sensor, specifically employing a screen-printed electrode with a reaction end surface modified with ZIF-8 / MWCNT nanocomposite material as the working electrode to detect cadmium and lead ions in water, includes the following steps:
[0061] (1) Construction of screen-printed electrode electrochemical sensor:
[0062] A screen-printed electrode with a ZIF-8 / MWCNT nanocomposite material modified on its reaction end surface was used as the working electrode, a saturated calomel electrode as the reference electrode, and a platinum electrode as the counter electrode to establish a three-electrode system. This system was then connected to an electrochemical workstation to form a screen-printed electrode electrochemical sensor. In this step, the ZIF-8 / MWCNT nanocomposite material was obtained by combining multi-walled carbon nanotubes and ZIF-8 (the framework material), with the multi-walled carbon nanotubes modifying the surface of ZIF-8 and / or penetrating the interior of ZIF-8. In this embodiment, the mass ratio of multi-walled carbon nanotubes to ZIF-8 in the ZIF-8 / MWCNT nanocomposite material was 1:10.
[0063] (2) Differential pulse stripping voltammetry (DPV) was selected, and the screen-printed electrode electrochemical sensor constructed in step (1) was used to perform electrochemical detection on water samples containing cadmium ions and lead ions. During the electrochemical detection process, the electrodeposition potential was set to -0.2V and the electrodeposition time was set to 150s to obtain the anodic stripping peak currents of cadmium ions and lead ions in the water samples to be tested. The concentrations of cadmium ions and lead ions in the water samples to be tested in this step are shown in Table 1. Before performing electrochemical detection, the pH of the water samples was adjusted to 5.0 using an acetate-sodium acetate buffer solution (initial pH value of 2-3).
[0064] (3) Based on the anodic dissolution peak current of cadmium ions and lead ions in the water sample to be tested, the concentrations of cadmium ions and lead ions in the water sample to be tested were calculated using the linear regression equation of cadmium ions, lead ions and peak current changes, as shown in Table 1.

[0067] As shown in Table 1, compared with ICP-MS, the recovery rate of the method of the present invention is 98% to 117%, which indicates that the method of the present invention has good accuracy. Therefore, the detection method of the present invention based on screen-printed electrode electrochemical sensor can achieve accurate detection of cadmium ions and lead ions in water.
[0068] In this embodiment, the method for constructing the linear regression equation between cadmium ion concentration and peak current change in step (3) is as follows: using differential pulse stripping voltammetry, the screen-printed electrode electrochemical sensor constructed in step (1) is used to detect cadmium ion standard solutions of different concentrations (the gradients of these cadmium ion standard solutions are 0 μg / L, 0.5 μg / L, 1 μg / L, 2 μg / L, 3 μg / L, 4 μg / L, 5 μg / L, 6 μg / L, 7 μg / L, 8 μg / L, 9 μg / L, 10 μg / L, 15 μg / L, 20 μg / L, etc.). The concentrations of cadmium ions were set at 25 μg / L, 30 μg / L, 35 μg / L, 40 μg / L, 45 μg / L, 50 μg / L, 60 μg / L, 70 μg / L, 80 μg / L, 90 μg / L, 100 μg / L, 150 μg / L, 200 μg / L, 250 μg / L, 300 μg / L, 350 μg / L, and 400 μg / L (pH 5.0). During electrochemical detection, the electrodeposition potential was controlled at -0.2 V and the electrodeposition time at 150 s. The peak current changes of standard solutions with different concentrations of cadmium ions were obtained. Figure 1 As shown. Then, based on the relationship between cadmium ion standard solutions of different concentrations and peak current changes, a linear regression equation between cadmium ion concentration and peak current changes was constructed, as shown. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, specifically as shown in equation (1).
[0069] The linear regression equation constructed from the changes in cadmium ion concentration and peak current is as follows:
[0070] y Cd =0.095×x Cd +6.103 (1);
[0071] In equation (1), y Cd x represents the peak current value of cadmium ions. Cd For cadmium ion solubility, the correlation coefficient R 2 =0.995, detection range is 0.5μg / L~400μg / L, and detection limit is 0.5μg / L.
[0072] In this embodiment, the method for constructing the linear regression equation between lead ion concentration and peak current change in step (3) is as follows: Differential pulse stripping voltammetry is used, and the screen-printed electrode electrochemical sensor constructed in step (1) is used to detect lead ion standard solutions of different concentrations (the gradients of these lead ion standard solutions are 0 μg / L, 0.5 μg / L, 1 μg / L, 2 μg / L, 3 μg / L, 4 μg / L, 5 μg / L, 6 μg / L, 7 μg / L, 8 μg / L, 9 μg / L, 10 μg / L, 15 μg / L, 20 μg / L, etc.). L, 25 μg / L, 30 μg / L, 35 μg / L, 40 μg / L, 45 μg / L, 50 μg / L, 60 μg / L, 70 μg / L, 80 μg / L, 90 μg / L, 100 μg / L, 150 μg / L, 200 μg / L, 250 μg / L, 300 μg / L, 350 μg / L, and 400 μg / L (pH 5.0 all), during electrochemical detection, the electrodeposition potential was controlled at -0.2 V and the electrodeposition time at 150 s. The peak current changes of lead ion standard solutions of different concentrations were obtained, such as... Figure 3 As shown. Then, based on the relationship between lead ion standard solutions of different concentrations and peak current changes, a linear regression equation between lead ion concentration and peak current changes was constructed, as shown. Figure 4 As shown in the figure, specifically as shown in equation (2).
[0073] The linear regression equation constructed from the changes in lead ion concentration and peak current is as follows:
[0074] y Pb =0.026×x Pb +1.145 (2);
[0075] In equation (2), y Pb x represents the peak current value of lead ions. Pb For lead ion solubility, the correlation coefficient R 2 =0.994, detection range is 5μg / L~400μg / L, and detection limit is 5μg / L.
[0076] In this embodiment, the effect of different pH values on the detection results was also investigated. Specifically, cadmium-containing and lead-containing water samples with different pH values (pH values of 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, and 7.0, respectively) were tested according to the method in Example 1. The results showed that enhanced peak current was obtained at slightly acidic or lower pH values (pH=5), while reduced peak current was obtained under higher or very low pH conditions.
[0077] In this embodiment, the effect of different electrodeposition potentials on the detection effect was also investigated. Specifically, following the method in Example 1, cadmium-containing and lead-containing water samples with a pH of 5 were tested under different potential conditions (-0.5V, -0.4V, -0.3V, -0.2V, -0.1V, 0V, 0.1V). The results showed that in the DPV measurement, the oxidation current of all detected metal ions reached a plateau after -0.2V, and the subsequent peak values fluctuated around the peak value at -0.2V.
[0078] In this embodiment, the effect of different electrodeposition times on the detection effect was also investigated. Specifically, following the method in Example 1, cadmium-containing and lead-containing water samples with a pH of 5 were tested under different electrodeposition time conditions (50s-225s). The results showed that the oxidation current increased rapidly and continuously with the extension of the electrodeposition time. However, since excessively long electrodeposition times are not conducive to real-time POCT detection, 150 seconds was selected as the electrodeposition time.

[0088] In Example 1, the method for preparing the screen-printed electrode with the reaction end surface modified with ZIF-8 / MWCNT nanocomposite material includes the following steps:
[0089] (1) According to the mass ratio of carboxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes, zinc salt and 2-methylimidazole of 1:100:300, carboxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes, zinc salt (specifically zinc nitrate hexahydrate) and 2-methylimidazole were dissolved in methanol, stirred for 4 hours, sonicated for 30 minutes, centrifuged at 8000 r / min for 5 minutes, and after centrifugation, the mixture was washed with methanol 3 times and distilled water 3 times in sequence, and then placed in a vacuum drying oven for vacuum drying for 12 hours to obtain ZIF-8 / MWCNT nanocomposite material;
[0090] (2) The ZIF-8 / MWCNT nanocomposite material was dispersed in a mixture of ethanol and naphthol (the volume ratio of ethanol to naphthol in the mixture was 1:1) to prepare a ZIF-8 / MWCNT nanocomposite material dispersion with a concentration of 4 g / L.
[0091] (3) 10 μL of ZIF-8 / MWCNT nanocomposite dispersion was coated on the reaction end surface of a single screen-printed electrode and dried at room temperature to obtain a screen-printed electrode with the reaction end surface modified with ZIF-8 / MWCNT nanocomposite.
[0092] Figure 6 This is a SEM image of the ZIF-8 / MWCNT nanocomposite material modified on the surface of the screen-printed electrode reaction end in Example 1 of this invention. Figure 6 As can be seen, the ZIF-8 nanocrystals in the ZIF-8 / MWCNT nanocomposite material prepared in this invention exhibit a typical rhombic dodecahedral morphology with similar particle sizes, indicating that the composite material does not alter the material morphology and will not affect its properties. Furthermore, the ZIF-8 / MWCNT nanocomposite material contains MWCNTs, which are elongated strips in shape. Similarly, TEM images show that some multi-walled carbon nanotubes modify the ZIF-8 surface, while others penetrate the interior of the ZIF-8. Therefore, by combining ZIF-8 and MWCNTs, not only is electrical conductivity improved, but the structural characteristics and chemical properties of the metal-organic framework are also preserved.

The steps included: adding ten times the amount of Mn to cadmium ion solutions (100 μg / L) and lead ion solutions (100 μg / L) with a pH of 5. 2+ Al 2 + Fe 2+ Ca 2+ Co 2+ The concentrations of various heavy metal ions in the above samples (test solutions) were detected according to the method in Example 1. Figure 7 As shown.
[0095] The results showed that five interfering ions (Mn) 2+ Al 2+ Fe 2+ Ca 2+ Co 2+ The influence of the differential pulse stripping voltammetry stripping peak current variation on the cadmium and lead ions under test is within ±10%, which shows that the screen-printed electrode electrochemical sensor of the present invention has excellent anti-interference ability when detecting cadmium and lead ions.

It can achieve on-site detection of cadmium and lead ions in water, and is convenient and accurate. 2+ Al 2+ Fe 2+ Ca 2+ Co 2+ It has strong anti-interference ability against interference factors, which is of great significance for achieving efficient detection of heavy metal cadmium and lead ions in the water environment.
