Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of nanoplastics detection, and particularly to a method for highly sensitive detection of polystyrene plastics based on metal-semiconductor composite materials. Background Art
[0002] Nanoplastics are a new type of pollutant that has attracted wide attention at present and pose a threat to human health and the environment. Plastic materials are widely used in the packaging industry, especially in the cosmetics field, and plastic packaging may release nanoplastics into products. When people use cosmetics, even after repeated rinsing, the nanoplastics still adhere to cells, and these nanoplastics can cause ocular surface toxicity and ocular surface dysfunction. In addition, polystyrene plastic particles can enter the human bloodstream, thus affecting vascular health. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a rapid and sensitive method for detecting polystyrene nanoplastics in cosmetics.
[0003] Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy has advantages such as rich fingerprint spectra and excellent sensitivity. It realizes single-molecule sensitivity by coupling light into the collective oscillation of free electrons (i.e., surface plasmons) on the surface of nanostructured noble metals. Plasmon polaritons in metals and doped semiconductor materials show broad application prospects in Raman spectroscopy under enhanced field effects. As an alternative to plasmonic materials, topological insulators have attracted wide attention because they can not only support plasmon polaritons generated by mass carriers (such as electrons or holes), but also form corresponding plasmon polaritons by Dirac carriers.
[0004] Currently, the commonly used SERS substrates for detecting nanoplastics include noble metal nanoparticles (such as gold and silver nanoparticles), flexible substrates (such as SERS substrates modified with filter membranes and polymer films), etc. Although they have advantages such as simple preparation and large-area sampling, they have problems such as low sensitivity and large signal interference. Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a more sensitive method for detecting nanoplastics in cosmetics. Summary of the Invention

[0054] The following describes the present invention in detail in conjunction with the embodiments.
[0055] Currently, the detection of polystyrene nanoplastics by Raman spectroscopy combined with topological insulators has unsatisfactory detection sensitivity and a relatively high detection limit. To solve the above problems, the present invention provides a method for the enrichment and highly sensitive detection of nanoplastics based on surface-enhanced Raman scattering technology. By preparing bismuth selenide nanosheets and using this substance as a reducing agent, chloroauric acid is reduced to gold nanoparticles while a layer of gold nanoparticles is formed on the surface of bismuth selenide. Then, the solution containing nanoporous polystyrene is mixed with the above complex with gold nanoparticles on the surface and an aggregating agent, and after enrichment on the surface of the tin foil, a laser light source is used to irradiate the center of the water droplet of the polystyrene nanoparticles to be detected dropped on the aluminum foil. Finally, Raman spectroscopy detection is used to detect the enriched plastic, and the specific Raman peak signal of the polystyrene plastic is obtained.
[0056] The present invention uses Bi2Se3 as a topological insulator, and its internal insulation and surface conductivity characteristics are synergistic agents that can have a better synergistic effect with gold nanoparticles. When the Bi2Se3 nanosheets are combined with gold nanoparticles, the low redox potential enables the nanosheets to act as electron donors, and their topological insulation characteristics promote the efficient transfer of electrons between the nanosheets and the surface of gold nanoparticles. The composite material based on local surface plasmon resonance can detect nanoplastics in liquids, especially cosmetics, more sensitively, and can improve the sensitivity of Raman detection. In other words, by preparing Bi2Se3 nanosheets and in-situ growing gold nanoparticles on their surfaces, the present invention exhibits stronger Raman performance compared with individual gold nanoparticles. The reason is that Bi2Se3 as an electron donor enables electrons to transfer to the surface of Au NPs, providing better synergy with Au NPs. Bi2Se3 with a larger dielectric constant suppresses the attenuation of electromagnetic waves, further amplifying the SERS performance of the Au-Bi2Se3 nanostructure.
[0057] The detection method of the present invention is simple, and the detection sensitivity is improved by enrichment, and the detection limit is reduced.

[0077] In some embodiments, the concentration of chloroauric acid is 10 mmol / L.
[0078] In some embodiments, the volume ratio of the dispersion liquid to the chloroauric acid is 1 - 5 mL: 48.6 - 243 μL.
[0079] In some embodiments, the reaction time is 6 - 8 h.
[0080] In some embodiments, the aging time is 20 - 40 min.

[0089] It can be understood that the present invention uses polystyrene as a representative for testing. The characteristic peak of polystyrene is most significant at 1001 cm -1 Therefore, this peak value is used as the characteristic peak, and the content of polystyrene is determined by the strength of the corresponding Raman signal.
[0090] It can be understood that through the above method, the present invention can realize the detection of nanoplastics in cosmetics and avoid the harm of nanoplastics in cosmetics to consumers' skin.
[0091] In some embodiments, the present invention can also quantitatively detect the nanoplastics in a sample by first constructing a standard curve of the nanoplastics concentration and the Raman spectroscopy signal. Meanwhile, in cooperation with the prepared composite material, a detection method with high enrichment and sensitivity is provided. The specific method is to add step S3 before the above step S4, and correspond the measured signal with the standard curve to achieve the quantitative detection of the sample. The specific steps are as follows:
[0092] S1: Provide a test solution containing nanoplastics;

[0097] In some embodiments, in step S3, the standard solutions containing nanoplastics with different concentrations are several standard solutions containing nanoplastics with different concentrations taken in the range of 0.001 - 1 mg / mL as the standard solutions.
[0098] In some embodiments, the standard curve is y = 184.5 + 23752.4x, R 2 = 0.997; where x represents the concentration of the solution containing nanoplastics; y represents the spectral signal intensity.
[0099] In some embodiments, in step S5, the parameters of the Raman spectrometer are: the excitation power is 150 mW, the exposure time is 10 s; the optical resolution is 500 times (eyepiece 10x, objective 50x), the laser wavelength of the laser light source is 785 nm, and the Raman shift range is 600 - 2000 cm -1 .

[0102] The actual sample to be measured used in the present invention is commercially available essence water. The nanoplastics used to prepare the standard solution are polystyrene spheres with a particle size of 89.3 ± 6.1 nm. It can be understood that the present invention takes polystyrene spheres with a particle size of 89.3 ± 6.1 nm as an example for research, and the present invention is not limited to the above particle size, and the detection of polystyrene spheres with other particle sizes is also within the protection scope of the present invention. The raw materials used in the present invention are all commercially available products without special instructions. The polystyrene microspheres can be prepared by a conventional emulsion polymerization method. In some embodiments, the polystyrene microspheres used in the examples of the present invention can be prepared by the following method:
[0103] 0.05 g of SDS (sodium dodecyl sulfate), 44.3145 g of H2O and 0.02475 g of NaHCO3 were added to a flask and reacted at 85 °C. Then 5.63 g of styrene was added, and the mixture was stirred for 1 hour under a N2 atmosphere, and then 0.03275 g of K2S2O8 was introduced. After 12 hours, the product was centrifuged at 10000 rpm and washed three times with ethanol. The product was dried at 40 °C to obtain 89.3 ± 6.1 nm PS plastic for further use.
[0104] The following are specific examples.
[0105] Example 1
[0106] A method for enriching and highly sensitive detecting nanoplastics based on surface-enhanced Raman scattering technology, comprising the following steps:
[0107] S1: Bismuth selenide nanosheets were synthesized by a solvothermal synthesis method.
[0108] Dissolve 25 mg of Bi(NO3)3·5H2O and 13.5 mg of Na2SeO3 in 7.5 mL of ethylene glycol (EG). Then, under a nitrogen atmosphere at 180 °C, quickly inject this solution into a three-neck flask containing 50 mL of EG solution. Among them, the 50 mL EG mixed solution is obtained by taking 55 mg of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), 3.35 g of ascorbic acid (AA), and 150 μL of HCl (11.8 M), and then adding ethylene glycol to make up to 50 mL and mixing. After injection, react for 15 minutes. The obtained bismuth selenide nanosheet seeds are washed once with ethanol, and the bismuth selenide nanosheets are dispersed in 30 mL of water to obtain a Bi2Se3 nanosheet solution.
[0109] Figure 1 Figure a in [reference] shows the TEM image of the bismuth selenide nanosheets. It can be seen from the figure that spherical Bi2Se3 NSs with an average size of 780.5 ± 61.6 nm are successfully synthesized in this example. Figure 2 The UV-visible absorption spectrum of Bi2Se3 NSs is given. It can be seen from the figure that Bi2Se3 NSs show a broad absorption range from 400 nm to 750 nm.
[0110] S2: Use Bi2Se3 nanosheets to directly reduce chloroauric acid to obtain a composite material with gold nanoparticles on the surface, that is, Au-Bi2Se3 NSs.
[0111] Take 2 mL of the above Bi2Se3 nanosheet solution, centrifuge it once, and then disperse it in 5 mL of deionized water containing 50 mg·mL -1 of polyvinylpyrrolidone. Without incubation, directly add 243 μL (10 mM) of HAuCl4 to the solution. Without using an external reducing agent, using Bi2Se3 as the reducing agent, let it stand at room temperature for 7 hours to reduce HAuCl4 to obtain a mixture with gold nanoparticles on the surface. The obtained mixture is aged for 30 minutes, centrifuged at 3000 r / min for 5 minutes, washed 3 times with deionized water to obtain Au-Bi2Se3 NSs, and dispersed in 10 mL of water to obtain an Au-Bi2Se3 NSs dispersion.
[0112] Figure 1 Figure b in [reference] shows the TEM image of Au-Bi2Se3 NSs. It can be seen from the figure that small-sized Au NPs are formed on the large surface area of Bi2Se3 NSs, and the average diameter of Au NPs is about 13.1 ± 3.5 nm. Figure 2 The UV-visible absorption spectrum of Au-Bi2Se3 NSs is given. It can be seen from the figure that Au-Bi2Se3 NSs have an absorption around 597 nm due to the formation of Au NPs.
[0113] S3: Prepare a mixture by mixing an aqueous solution containing polystyrene nanoparticles, the Au-Bi2Se3 NSs dispersion prepared in step S2, and an aggregating agent. Drop the mixture onto an aluminum foil to form water droplets and wait for them to aggregate. The specific method is as follows:
[0114] S3-1: Take 89.3±6.1 nm PS NPs (PS plastic), add them to deionized water to obtain an aqueous solution containing polystyrene nanoparticles with a concentration of 1 mg / mL.
[0115] S3-2: Mix 160 μL of the above-mentioned aqueous solution containing polystyrene nanoparticles with a concentration of 1 mg / mL and 40 μL of the Au-Bi2Se3 NSs dispersion prepared in step S2 with 40 μL of 1 M NaI, 40 μL of 1 M NaCl, 40 μL of 1 M NaBr, and 40 μL of 1 M KI respectively to obtain mixed solutions containing different types of aggregating agents; among them, the aggregating agent solution is obtained by dissolving the aggregating agent in water.
[0116] S3-3: Take 50 μL from each of the above-mentioned mixed solutions and drop them onto an aluminum foil to form droplets, and wait for 120 min for the polystyrene nanoparticles to aggregate.
[0117] S4: Use a laser light source to irradiate light at the center of the water droplet of the polystyrene nanoparticles to be detected dropped on the aluminum foil.
[0118] S5: Use Raman spectroscopy to detect the enriched plastic to obtain the specific Raman peak signal of polystyrene plastic.
[0119] Specifically, use a Renishaw micro-Raman spectrometer and a 785 nm argon ion laser to measure the Raman spectrum of the aggregated polystyrene nanoparticles to obtain the Raman peak signal of polystyrene plastic. The excitation wavelength of the Raman spectrum is 785 Nm, the excitation power is 150 mW, 500 times (eyepiece 10x, objective 50x), the Raman shift range is 600 to 2000 cm -1 , the exposure time is 10 s, each acquisition is repeated more than 5 times, and its average value is recorded. The Raman signals obtained from the mixed solutions with different types of aggregating agents are as Figure 3 shown. It can be seen from the figure that the characteristic peak of polystyrene is the most significant at 1001 cm -1 . Therefore, this peak value is used as the characteristic peak, and the content of polystyrene is determined by the strength of the corresponding Raman signal. At the same time, by comparing the characteristic peaks of different aggregating agents at 1001 cm -1 , it can be seen that NaI makes Au-Bi2Se3 NSs exhibit the strongest SERS performance. This is because during the salt-induced aggregation process, Na + can neutralize the negative charge and destroy the double electric layer. Introducing I -The impurities on the surface of gold nanoparticles are significantly removed, improving the contact between the PS surface and gold nanoparticles for SERS detection. Therefore, NaI is used as the aggregating agent in the subsequent experiments of the present invention.
[0120] After determining the optimal aggregating agent in Example 1 above, the present invention also investigated different detection conditions.

[0124] 5 mg of Bi(NO3)3·5H2O and 2.7 mg of Na2SeO3 were dissolved in 1.5 mL of ethylene glycol (EG). Then, under a nitrogen atmosphere at 180 °C, the solution was rapidly injected into a three-necked flask containing 10 mL of EG solution. Among them, the 10 mL EG mixed solution was obtained by taking 11 mg of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), 0.67 g of ascorbic acid (AA), and 30 μL of HCl (11.8 M), and then adding ethylene glycol to a constant volume of 10 mL. After injection, the reaction was carried out for 15 minutes.

Then, under a nitrogen atmosphere at 180 °C, quickly inject this solution into a three-necked flask containing 30 mL of EG solution.

[0144] S5: Use Raman spectroscopy to detect the enriched plastic to obtain the specific Raman peak signal of polystyrene plastic. The specific conditions for Raman detection are the same as those in Example 1.
[0145] Example 4
[0146] After determining the optimal aggregating agent in the above Example 1, the present invention also investigated the influence of aqueous solutions containing polystyrene nanoparticles with different concentrations on the detection sensitivity, in order to obtain a better detection concentration range, and established a standard curve of the nanoplastics concentration and the Raman spectrum response in this concentration range.
[0147] A method for the enrichment and highly sensitive detection of nanoplastics based on surface-enhanced Raman scattering technology is basically the same as that of Example 1, except for step S3. In this example, the influence of aqueous solutions containing polystyrene nanoparticles with different concentrations on the detection sensitivity is mainly investigated. Therefore, in step S3, aqueous solutions containing polystyrene nanoparticles with different concentrations are used for experiments. The specific steps of step S3 are as follows:
[0148] S3: Mix an aqueous solution containing different concentrations of PS NPs, Au-Bi2Se3 NSs, and an aggregating agent to prepare a mixture. Drop the mixture onto the aluminum foil to form water droplets and wait for them to aggregate. The specific method is as follows:
[0149] S3-1: Weigh different masses of 89.3 ± 6.1 nm PS NPs and add them to deionized water to obtain aqueous solutions containing polystyrene nanoparticles with concentrations of 1 mg / mL, 0.75 mg / mL, 0.5 mg / mL, 0.25 mg / mL, 0.050 mg / mL, 0.025 mg / mL, 0.01 mg / mL, and 0.001 mg / mL respectively, as standard solutions.
[0150] S3-2: Take 160 μL of the above-mentioned aqueous solutions containing polystyrene nanoparticles with different concentrations, mix them with 40 μL of the Au-Bi2Se3 NSs dispersion prepared in step S2 and 40 μL of 1 M NaI respectively to obtain mixed solutions with different concentrations of polystyrene nanoparticles;
[0151] S3-3: Take 50 μL from each of the above-mentioned mixed solutions and drop it onto the aluminum foil to form droplets, and wait for 120 min for the polystyrene nanoparticles to aggregate.
[0152] S4: Use a laser light source to irradiate light at the center of the water droplet of the polystyrene nanoparticles to be detected dropped on the aluminum foil.
[0153] S5: Use Raman spectroscopy to detect the enriched plastics to obtain the specific Raman peak signals of polystyrene plastics, and different concentrations show different Raman signal intensities.
[0154] Specifically, a Renishaw micro-Raman spectrometer and a 785 nm argon ion laser are used to measure the Raman spectrum of the aggregated polystyrene nanoparticles to obtain the Raman peak signals of polystyrene plastics. The excitation wavelength of the Raman spectrum is 785 Nm, the excitation power is 150 mW, the Raman shift range is 600 to 2000 cm -1 , the exposure time is 10 s, and each acquisition is repeated more than 5 times, and its average value is recorded.
[0155] The obtained Raman signals are as Figure 4 shown, and are obtained from Figure 4As can be seen from Figure a, for PS NPs with a size of 89.3±6.1 nm, the peak intensity increases with the increase of concentration in the concentration range of 0.001 to 1 mg / mL. The detection limit of 89.3±6.1 nm PS NPs detected by the above method is 0.03 μg / mL.
[0156] Meanwhile, Figure 4 In Figure b, in the concentration range of 0.001 to 1 mg / mL, a good linear relationship (standard curve) was established between the intensity of the characteristic peak at 1001 cm -1 and the concentration of plasticizer. The linear relationship formula is: y = 184.5 + 23752.4x, where x is the PS concentration, unit: mg / mL; y is the spectral intensity, and the correlation coefficient R 2 = 0.997.
[0157] In the actual sample detection, the above standard curve can be used to obtain the corresponding concentration by detecting the intensity of the Raman spectrum corresponding to the actual sample.
[0158] To evaluate the reproducibility, five points were randomly selected from the aggregated matrix, and statistical analysis was performed on the peak intensity at 1001 cm -1 . The RSD of this method was 8.2%, as Figure 5 shown.
[0159] The present invention also compared the influence of different SERS substrates on the detection sensitivity, and compared the detection effects of Au-Bi2Se3 NSs prepared in Example 1 with individual Au NPs, Au NPs concentrated twice (Au NPs 2×), Bi2Se3 NSs, and the mixture of Au NPs and Bi2Se3 NSs, respectively. The aggregating agent used in all cases was NaI.
[0160] Comparative Example 1 (using Au NPs instead of Au-Bi2Se3 NSs in Example 1)
[0161] A method for enriching and highly sensitive detecting nanoplastics based on surface-enhanced Raman scattering technology is basically the same as that in Example 1, except that Au NPs are used instead of Au-Bi2Se3 NSs in Example 1, and only 40 μL of 1 M NaI is used as the aggregating agent. The detection method is as follows:
[0162] (1) Mix the aqueous solution, Au NPs and the aggregating agent to prepare a mixture. Drop the mixture on the aluminum foil to form a water droplet and wait for it to aggregate. The specific method is as follows:
[0163] (1-1) Take 89.3±6.1 nm PS NPs and add them to deionized water to obtain an aqueous solution containing polystyrene nanoparticles with a concentration of 1 mg / mL.
[0164] (1 - 2) Mix 160 μL of the aqueous solution containing polystyrene nanoparticles with a concentration of 1 mg / mL, 40 μL of the Au NPs dispersion, and 40 μL of 1 M NaI to obtain a mixed solution. Among them, the Au NPs dispersion is obtained by dispersing the Au NPs reduced from 250 μL of 24.28 mM HAuCl4 in 25 mL of water. The particle size of the Au NPs is 13.1 ± 3.5 nm.
[0165] (1 - 3) Take 50 μL from the above - mentioned mixed solution and drop it on the aluminum foil to form a droplet, and wait for 120 min for the polystyrene nanoparticles to aggregate.

Centrifuge the bismuth selenide nanosheets at 3000 r / min for 5 minutes, wash them 3 times with deionized water to obtain Au - Bi2Se3 NSs, and disperse them in 10 mL of water to obtain a Bi2Se3 NSs dispersion.
[0173] S2: Mix an aqueous solution containing polystyrene nanoparticles, a dispersion of Bi2Se3 NSs, and an aggregating agent to prepare a mixture. Drop the mixture onto aluminum foil to form water droplets and wait for them to aggregate.

[0176] S2-3: Take 50 μL from the above mixed solution and drop it onto aluminum foil to form a droplet, and wait for 120 min for the polystyrene nanoparticles to aggregate.
[0177] S3: Use a laser light source to irradiate light at the center of the water droplet of polystyrene nanoparticles to be detected dropped on aluminum foil.
[0178] S4: Use Raman spectroscopy to detect the enriched plastic to obtain the specific Raman peak signal of polystyrene plastic. The parameters and conditions of Raman detection are the same as those in Example 1.
[0179] Comparative Example 4 (using a mixture of bismuth selenide + Au NPs)
[0180] A method for enriching and highly sensitive detecting of nanoplastics based on surface-enhanced Raman scattering technology is basically the same as that in Example 1, except that it does not include step S2, and the composite material is a mixture of bismuth selenide nanosheets prepared in step S1 and Au NPs; at the same time, only 40 μL of 1 M NaI is used as the aggregating agent. The detection method is as follows:
[0181] S1: Synthesize bismuth selenide nanosheets by a solvothermal synthesis method. The specific method is the same as that in Example 1. Centrifuge the bismuth selenide nanosheets at 3000 r / min for 5 minutes, wash them 3 times with deionized water to obtain Au-Bi2Se3 NSs, disperse them in 10 mL of water to obtain a Bi2Se3 NSs dispersion. Obtain an Au NPs dispersion according to the method described in Comparative Example 1; take 1 mL of the Au NPs dispersion and mix it evenly with 1 mL of the bismuth selenide nanosheet dispersion to obtain a mixed material solution for standby.
[0182] S2: Mix an aqueous solution containing polystyrene nanoparticles, the mixed material solution, and an aggregating agent to prepare a mixture. Drop the mixture onto aluminum foil to form water droplets and wait for them to aggregate.
[0183] S2-1 Take 89.3 ± 6.1 nm PS NPs and add them to deionized water to obtain an aqueous solution containing polystyrene nanoparticles with a concentration of 1 mg / mL.
[0184] S2-2 Mix 160 μL of the above aqueous solution containing polystyrene nanoparticles with a concentration of 1 mg / mL, 40 μL of the mixed material solution, and 40 μL of 1 M NaI to obtain a mixed solution.
[0185] S2-3 Take 50 μL from the above mixed solution and drop it on the aluminum foil to form a droplet, and wait for 120 min for the polystyrene nanoparticles to aggregate.
[0186] S3 Use a laser light source to irradiate light at the center of the water droplet of polystyrene nanoparticles to be detected dropped on the aluminum foil.
[0187] S4 Use Raman spectroscopy to detect the enriched plastic to obtain the specific Raman peak signal of polystyrene plastic. The parameters and conditions of Raman detection are the same as those in Example 1.
[0188] Figure 6 The detection results corresponding to different materials in Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-4 are given. It can be seen from the figure that compared with single AuNPs and Au NPs concentrated twice (Au NPs 2×) or Bi2Se3 NSs, Au-Bi2Se3 NSs show the highest SERS enhancement, where 1001 cm -1The SERS intensities at [specific location] are 5.1 times and 10.2 times those of Au NPs and Bi2Se3 NSs, respectively. The physical mixture of Au NPs and Bi2Se3 NSs (Au NPs + Bi2Se3 NSs) also has lower SERS performance than Au-Bi2Se3 NSs. The heterostructure of Au NPs and Bi2Se3 NSs endows Au-Bi2Se3 NSs with enhanced SERS activity. This is due to the strong electromagnetic field and effective electron transfer mechanism. Compared with pure Au NPs, the high dielectric constant of Bi2Se3 NSs significantly enhances the magnetic field of Au NPs. This enhanced electromagnetic field endows the Au-Bi2Se3 composite with strong SERS performance. In addition, the enhancement of SERS activity is closely related to the electron transfer mechanism. The bandgap of Bi2Se3 is 1.2 eV. Under 785 nm (1.6 eV) laser irradiation, electrons are easily excited from the valence band to the conduction band, generating excited electrons. Electrons are more likely to transfer from a material with a lower work function to a material with a higher work function. The work functions of Bi2Se3 NSs and Au NPs are 4.4 eV and 4.9 eV, respectively, indicating that the electrons excited in the valence band (VB) of Bi2Se3 NSs can easily migrate to Au NPs through their strong interfacial connection, which also amplifies the electromagnetic field. This enhanced electromagnetic field endows the Au-Bi2Se3 composite with powerful SERS performance.

[0191] S1: Bismuth selenide nanosheets were synthesized by a solvothermal synthesis method. The specific method is the same as that in Example 1.
[0192] S2: The 2 mL of the above Bi2Se3 nanosheet solution was centrifuged once and then redispersed in 5 mL of deionized water containing 50 mg·mL -1 polyvinylpyrrolidone. Without incubation, 243 μL (10 mM) of silver nitrate was directly added to the solution. It was left standing at room temperature for 7 hours, then aged for 30 minutes, centrifuged at 3000 r / min for 5 minutes, and washed 3 times with deionized water to obtain Ag-Bi2Se3 NSs, which were dispersed in 10 mL of water to obtain an Ag-Bi2Se3 NSs dispersion.
[0193] S3: An aqueous solution containing polystyrene nanoparticles, the Ag-Bi2Se3 NSs dispersion, and the aggregating agent were mixed to prepare a mixture. The mixture was dropped on the aluminum foil to form water droplets and waited for them to aggregate.
[0194] In S3-1, 89.3 ± 6.1 nm PS NPs were taken and added to deionized water to obtain an aqueous solution containing polystyrene nanoparticles with a concentration of 1 mg / mL.
[0195] In S3-2, 160 μL of the above aqueous solution containing polystyrene nanoparticles with a concentration of 1 mg / mL, 40 μL of Ag-Bi2Se3 NSs dispersion, and 40 μL of 1 M NaI were mixed to obtain a mixed solution.
[0196] In S3-3, 50 μL was taken from the above mixed solution and dropped on an aluminum foil to form a droplet, and waited for 120 min to allow the polystyrene nanoparticles to aggregate.
[0197] In S4, a laser light source was used to irradiate light at the center of the water droplet of polystyrene nanoparticles to be detected dropped on the aluminum foil.
[0198] In S5, Raman spectroscopy was used to detect the enriched plastic to obtain the specific Raman peak signal of polystyrene plastic. The parameters and conditions of Raman detection were the same as those in Example 1.
[0199] Figure 7 Compared with Comparative Example 1 of single Ag NPs, in this example, Ag-Bi2Se3 NSs were used, showing stronger SERS enhancement. Among them, the SERS intensity at 1001 cm -1 was 4.73 times that of Ag NPs. However, the SERS intensity was reduced compared with that of Au-Bi2Se3, which was caused by the different sizes and loadings of Ag NPs loaded on Bi2Se3.
[0200] The present invention further investigated the use of actual samples and spiked actual samples for detection to investigate the spike recovery rate of essence water containing PS and the standard deviation in the detection of actual samples.
[0201] Example 6
[0202] Different amounts of 89.3 ± 6.1 nm PS spheres were added to essence water to obtain essence water with different spiked PS sphere concentrations (the spiked concentrations were 0.375 mg / mL and 0.125 mg / mL respectively). 160 μL of essence water containing different spiked PS concentrations and essence water without additional PS spheres added (as a blank) were taken respectively, and directly added to 40 μL of Au-Bi2Se3 material dispersion prepared in Example 1 and 40 μL of aggregating agent (NaI) of 1 mol / L without dilution to prepare a mixture.
[0203] 50 μL of the mixture was dropped on tin foil to form a water droplet. After waiting for it to aggregate, then the laser was focused on the top of the water droplet for SERS detection, and the detection conditions were the same as those in Example 1.
[0204] The test diagram and results are shown in Figure 8 The results show that Figure 8 In Figure a, the blank SERS of the essence water is at 1001 cm -1 There is no characteristic peak at 1001cm -1 A characteristic peak appeared at 100 nm, confirming the successful detection of polystyrene plastic. As the concentration increases, the Raman intensity also increases. When the spike concentration is 0.125 mg / mL, the detection concentration is calculated to be 0.118 ± 0.004 mg / mL based on the standard curve of 89.3 ± 6.1 nm PS NPs, with an RSD of only 5.5% ( Figure 8 When the spike concentration was 0.375 mg / mL, the detected concentration was 0.356±0.009 mg / mL, and the RSD was only 4.0% ( Figure 8 These results indicate that Au-Bi2Se3 nanosheets have high sensitivity and accuracy in detecting PS nanoplastics in cosmetics, showing great potential in detecting nanoplastics in cosmetics.
[0205] For samples with low polystyrene content, when direct detection is difficult to measure, the method of the present invention can be combined to establish a standard curve to obtain the spectral signal intensity at a specific standard concentration, and then add the standard concentration solution to the sample to be tested, test the spectral intensity of the sample to be tested at this time, and compare it with the spectral intensity of the standard solution alone, so as to obtain the concentration of the sample that is difficult to measure. At this time, the lower limit of the polystyrene plastic concentration in the sample that can be measured is 3×10 -4 mg / mL.
