Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of electrochemical synthesis and analysis, and particularly relates to a nickel-based composite nanozyme and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Compared with small molecule detection methods such as colorimetry, surface-enhanced Raman scattering method, and fluorescence analysis method, the electrochemical detection method has the advantages of easy integration, fast detection speed, and low cost, which makes electrochemical detection more suitable for continuous monitoring. The detection performance of an electrochemical sensing device depends on the electron transfer performance and electrocatalytic performance of the sensitive element.

[0003] Currently, sensors with Ni 3 (HHTP) 2 -based composite nanozymes as sensitive elements are mainly prepared by chemically synthesizing nickel-based composite nanozymes and then drop-coating them on the working electrode, which has the disadvantages of high synthesis conditions, long time consumption, and uneven modification. Compared with the chemical synthesis method, the electrodeposition method can simply control the synthesis rate, the uniformity and sensing performance of nickel-based composite nanozymes by changing the composition and concentration of the electrolyte solution and the type and magnitude of the electrical signal. In addition, since the electrodeposition process does not require a high-temperature and high-pressure environment, its energy consumption is significantly reduced, and it is more green and safe. However, traditional electrochemical synthesis and detection methods still require a large amount of electrolyte solution, which will increase the cost and the difficulty of waste liquid treatment. Therefore, the in-situ synthesis of sensitive elements and the sensing of analytes using a microfluidic electrochemical system can improve the integration degree of the system and reduce the synthesis and detection costs.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a nickel-based composite nanozyme that has a large specific surface area, good electron transfer performance, and excellent electrocatalytic performance. Summary of the Invention

Assemble the reference electrode and the counter electrode, and then insert the inlet tube and the outlet tube to form a microfluidic electrochemical device;

[0009] Step S2, Electrochemical Deposition: Inject the electrolyte containing nickel-based nanomaterials and conductive polymers into the microfluidic electrochemical device. After the electrodeposition reaction, the nickel-based composite nanozyme is formed on the surface of the working electrode.

[0017] In addition, the present invention also provides an application of the above nickel-based composite nanozyme, and the nickel-based composite nanozyme is used for neurotransmitters, glucose, and ascorbic acid in an electrochemical sensor.

[0020] Step S2, Obtain the sensitivity and detection limit of the sensor according to the current response generated by the nickel-based composite nanozyme on the working electrode;

[0021] Among them, the buffer solution is selected from phosphate buffer solution.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0031] To make the technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the following will combine specific embodiments to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0032] According to the first aspect of the present application, the present application provides a method for preparing a nickel-based composite nanozyme, comprising the following steps:

[0033] Step S1, device assembly: lay the PDMS membrane with microchannels flat on the glass slide, place the working area of the working electrode downward in the microchannels of the PDMS membrane, buckle the PDMS gland on the PDMS microchannel membrane, and embed the working electrode in the gland.

[0034] Step S2, electrochemical deposition: inject the electrolyte containing nickel-based nanomaterials and conductive polymers into the microfluidic electrochemical device, and after the electrodeposition reaction, form the nickel-based composite nanozyme on the surface of the working electrode.

[0041] Among them, when the concentration of the nickel-based nanomaterial is less than this range, it will lead to insufficient conductivity of the solution and unable to perform electrodeposition. When the concentration of the nickel-based nanomaterial is greater than this range, it will lead to too intense deposition reaction and uneven deposition. When the concentration of the conductive polymer is less than this range, it will lead to difficulty in monomer polymerization and unable to form a film.

[0045] According to the third aspect of the present application, the present application provides an application of the above nickel-based composite nanozyme. The nickel-based composite nanozyme is used for neurotransmitters, glucose and ascorbic acid in an electrochemical sensor.

[0046] In some embodiments, an application in a nickel-based composite nanozyme electrochemical sensor includes the following steps:

[0047] Step S1: Introduce a buffer solution and a solution to be measured into the microfluidic electrochemical device;

[0048] Step S2: Obtain the sensitivity and detection limit of the sensor according to the current response generated by the nickel-based composite nanozyme on the working electrode;

[0049] Among them, the buffer solution is selected from phosphate buffer solution.

[0050] In some embodiments, the sensitivity and detection limit of the sensor are obtained according to the current response generated by solutions to be measured with different concentrations.
