Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of pesticide detection, in particular to a method for detecting pesticides based on iron porphyrin modified covalent organic framework nanoscale enzyme sensing array. BACKGROUND

[0002] Pesticides are widely used in modern agriculture to control pests and improve crop yields. However, excessive application and improper management of pesticides have led to their accumulation in agricultural products, soil and water bodies, posing a serious threat to human health and the ecological environment. In particular, organophosphorus pesticides can irreversibly inhibit acetylcholinesterase activity, causing dizziness, nausea and even organ damage. Currently, pesticide residue detection mainly relies on chromatography, electrochemical and immunoassay methods, but these methods generally have problems such as expensive instruments, complicated operation, limited sensitivity, and are difficult to meet the needs of rapid on-site detection of multiple pesticides.

[0003] In recent years, nanoscale enzymes have attracted attention in the field of pesticide detection due to their biomimetic catalytic activity, low cost and good stability. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are used to load active metals or enzyme mimics due to their highly ordered channels, rich functional groups and excellent chemical stability. However, the catalytic activity of COFs is limited and needs to be improved by metal center modification to enhance their enzyme-like activity. The present application is based on the peroxidase-like activity of COFs modified by iron porphyrin (Hemin), and designs a sensing array combined with machine learning algorithms to achieve high sensitivity and high throughput detection of multiple pesticides. SUMMARY

[0004] To solve the technical problems of poor sensitivity, insufficient selectivity and inability to simultaneously detect multiple pesticides in the prior art, the present application provides a method for detecting pesticides based on iron porphyrin modified covalent organic framework nanoscale enzyme sensing array. The present application utilizes the unique structure and catalytic properties of iron porphyrin modified covalent organic framework (COFs-Hemin) to prepare TAPB-DMTP-COFs with highly ordered channels and rich functional groups, and then in situ anchor iron porphyrin active sites, thereby significantly enhancing its peroxidase-like activity. This catalytic material can efficiently catalyze the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to generate hydroxyl radicals (·OH) and superoxide anion radicals (O2· - ), which in turn oxidize colorimetric substrates TMB, OPD and ABTS, producing obvious optical absorption signals. Different pesticide molecules interact with the catalytic active centers of COFs-Hemin, hindering the oxidation reaction of the substrate through hydrogen bonding, van der Waals forces or coordination, causing different degrees of attenuation of the colorimetric signal. This characteristic is used to construct a multi-channel colorimetric response array to achieve simultaneous and differentiated detection of multiple pesticides.

[0005] The first object of the present application is to provide an application of an iron porphyrin modified covalent organic framework nanoscale enzyme in multi-channel detection of pesticides, wherein the iron porphyrin modified covalent organic framework nanoscale enzyme is prepared by the following method: 1,3,5-tri(4-aminophenyl)benzene and 2,5-dimethoxy terephthaldehyde are dissolved in a mixed solvent, acid is added and stirring reaction is carried out to obtain TAPB-DMTP-COFs; TAPB-DMTP-COFs is ultrasonically dispersed in water, and a hemin chloride solution is added dropwise, and stirring reaction is carried out to obtain the iron porphyrin modified covalent organic framework nanoscale enzyme (COFs-hemin complex).

[0006] In some embodiments of the present application, the mass ratio of 1,3,5-tri(4-aminophenyl)benzene and 2,5-dimethoxy terephthaldehyde is (40-50):(35-40); the mixed solvent comprises 1,4-dioxane and m-trimethylbenzene; and the volume ratio of 1,4-dioxane and m-trimethylbenzene is (1:2)-(2:1).

[0008] In some embodiments of the present application, the concentration of the hemin chloride solution is 5-15 mM.

[0009] In some embodiments of the present application, the mass ratio of TAPB-DMTP-COFs to hemin is (8-12):1.

[0010] In some embodiments of the present application, the pesticide comprises one or more of malathion, profenofos, chlorpyrifos, dimethoate and acephate.

[0011] In some embodiments of the present application, the concentration of the solution containing the pesticide in the process of detecting the pesticide is 10-100 nM.

[0012] In some embodiments of the present application, the amount of the iron porphyrin modified covalent organic framework nanoscale enzyme is 0.5-2 mg·mL -1 .

[0013] The second object of the present application is to provide a method for detecting pesticides by using an iron porphyrin modified covalent organic framework nanoscale enzyme sensing array, comprising the following steps: providing a sensing element of an iron porphyrin modified covalent organic framework nanoscale enzyme; A multi-channel pesticide colorimetric detection system is constructed by using the sensing element, and the absorbance values of different pesticides are detected according to a plurality of pesticide standard solutions with different concentration gradients, H2O2 and a color developing agent. The obtained absorbance values are input into a multi-layer perceptron (MLP), a random forest (RFC), a support vector machine (SVM) and a K nearest neighbor (KNN) model for training and identification to obtain a training data matrix of different pesticides.

[0014] The above-mentioned model is used for intelligent identification and classification of pesticide colorimetric signals. Specifically, the multi-channel absorbance data of different pesticides under three color developing substrates (TMB, OPD and ABTS) are used as input features, and the types of pesticides are used as output labels. The model is trained and identified by using a multi-layer perceptron (MLP), a random forest (RFC), a support vector machine (SVM) and a K nearest neighbor (KNN). The MLP is used for nonlinear feature learning, the RFC enhances the stability of classification, the SVM realizes high-dimensional accurate classification, and the KNN judges the category based on similarity. The model outputs the identification results and classification probabilities of different pesticides, and realizes high-accuracy intelligent discrimination of single and mixed pesticides.

[0015] The above technical solutions of the present application have the following advantages compared with the prior art: The COFs-Hemin nanoscale enzyme provided by the present application can generate hydroxyl radicals (·OH) and superoxide anions (O2·⁻) under hydrogen peroxide conditions, and realizes efficient catalytic oxidation of color developing substrates (TMB, OPD and ABTS), and has excellent peroxidase-like activity. The present application utilizes the specific binding of pesticides to the active site of the nanoscale enzyme to inhibit the catalytic performance, and realizes high-sensitivity detection of a plurality of pesticides and their mixtures. Combined with machine learning algorithms, the detection accuracy and throughput are significantly improved, and the problems of long detection period, high cost and insufficient sensitivity of traditional detection methods are overcome, thereby providing an efficient and convenient new method for pesticide residue detection in environmental water and food safety.

A preparation method of iron porphyrin modified covalent organic framework (COFs-Hemin): 1. 44.8 mg of 1,3,5-tris(4-aminophenyl)benzene and 38.4 mg of 2,5-dimethoxytetraphenylbenzene were dissolved in a mixed solvent of 1.2 mL of 1,4-dioxane and 1.2 mL of mesitylene. 0.4 mL of 3 M acetic acid was added, and the mixture was stirred at 2000 rpm for 72 hours at room temperature. After the reaction was completed, a pale yellow precipitate was formed. The precipitate was filtered through a 0.45 μm microporous membrane, and impurities were removed by washing with methanol and deionized water alternately. The precipitate was then dried under vacuum at 80 °C for 12 hours to obtain TAPB-DMTP-COFs powder.
