Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of electrochemical sensing technology, and more specifically to a method for preparing a methylthio-modified Ce-MOF electrode material and its application in electrochemical sensing detection of heavy metal ions. Background Art

[0002] Methods for detecting heavy metal ions include energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, and flame atomic absorption spectrometry. However, these techniques are not only expensive in terms of testing equipment, but also complex and time-consuming to operate. Therefore, there is an urgent need for efficient sample preparation and analytical methods to detect heavy metal ions. Various nanomaterial-based sensors have been developed for the detection of metal ions, including fluorescent sensors based on gold nanoparticles, colorimetric sensors based on silver nanoclusters, and electrochemical sensors based on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). It is worth noting that electrochemical sensors are widely used to detect metal ions due to their sensitivity, efficiency, and ease of preparation. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing a methylthio-modified Ce-MOF electrode material with low electrochemical heavy metal detection limit, wide linear range and good selectivity.

[0004] The present invention employs a method for preparing a methylthio-modified Ce-MOF electrode material, comprising the following steps: weighing ceric ammonium nitrate and methylthioterephthalic acid, dissolving acetic acid in 15 mL of DMF, stirring for 15 minutes, transferring the mixture to a round-bottom flask, and reacting in a 35°C oil bath for 24 hours to form a yellow solution. The product is collected by centrifugation, washed with ethanol and acetone, and finally dried under vacuum to obtain the methylthio-modified Ce-MOF electrode material.

[0005] Furthermore, in the above preparation method, the molar ratio of cerium ammonium nitrate and methylthio terephthalic acid is 1:1.

[0006] Furthermore, the above-mentioned preparation method comprises the following steps: dissolving 2,5-dimercaptoterephthalic acid in acetone, adding K2CO3, adding iodomethane dropwise with stirring, stirring the mixture at room temperature for 1 hour, and then removing excess solvent in vacuo. The resulting residue is dissolved in deionized water and cooled to 0°C. The pH of the solution is then adjusted to 1.5 with 2M hydrochloric acid, and the precipitate is filtered to obtain a yellow solid powder. The precipitate is washed with cold water and air-dried for 24 hours to obtain methylthioterephthalic acid.

[0007] Furthermore, in the above preparation method, the solvent DMF is first dried and dehydrated.

[0008] Furthermore, in the above preparation method, the mixed solution is uniformly dispersed and then reacted in an oil bath at 35° C. for 24 hours.

[0009] Furthermore, in the above preparation method, the mixed solution is heated at 180° C. in a forced air drying oven for 5 days.

[0010] The present invention provides an application of a methylthio-modified Ce-MOF electrode material as an electrochemical electrode sensing material in electrochemical detection of heavy metal ions.

[0011] Furthermore, the method is as follows: 2.0 mg of methylthio-modified Ce-MOF electrode material is dispersed in 1.0 ml of water and sonicated for 30 minutes to form a uniform suspension. Subsequently, 8.0 μL of the suspension is deposited onto the exposed GCE surface and air-dried at room temperature to obtain the sensing working electrode. A platinum wire electrode serves as the counter electrode, and a silver / silver chloride electrode serves as the reference electrode.

[0012] Furthermore, the electrochemical properties of the GCE sensing material were characterized by differential pulse stripping voltammetry (DPSV) in 1 M acetate buffer solution (pH = 5-8) at room temperature. The DPSV measurement was performed under a deposition time of 5s-50s, a pulse width of 0.1s-1s, a potential range of -1.0V-1.4V, an amplitude of 5mV-50mV, and a potential increment of 1mV-5mV.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: a methylsulfide-modified Ce-MOF electrode material prepared by the present invention is used to construct a cost-effective, simple and sensitive analytical method for the separate and simultaneous detection of heavy metal ions. When methylsulfide ions form complexes with metal ions, their charge state or electrochemical properties may change. By measuring the change in current or potential, the presence and concentration of metal ions can be determined. In addition, methylsulfide ions can form complexes with some metal ions and easily interact electrostatically with positively charged heavy metal ions. This characteristic makes the electrochemical sensor prepared using this electrode material have the advantages of low detection limit, wide linear range and good selectivity, and can be used for the detection of Cd in real samples. 2 + , Pb 2+ 、Cu 2+ and Hg 2+ For the simultaneous detection of Cd 2+ , Pb 2+ 、Cu 2+ and Hg 2+ Provides a new approach.
