Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a biosensor for detecting hydrogen peroxide and / or bacteria based on silver selenide thermoelectric material and its preparation, belonging to the field of biosensing technology. Background Technology

[0002] Thermoelectric materials can convert heat energy into electrical energy through the Seebeck effect, achieving green energy conversion. This is highly advantageous for next-generation self-powered microelectronic devices, such as wireless sensors, wearable electronics, and flexible electronic devices. When a temperature gradient exists across a thermoelectric material, it leads to an asymmetric distribution of the electron transport gradient, thereby generating a thermoelectric voltage. Since the discovery of the Seebeck effect in the 19th century, thermoelectric materials have been used for temperature detection. In recent years, the emergence of numerous high-performance thermoelectric materials has opened up the potential for high-precision, sensitive sensors based on thermoelectric materials. The advent of high-performance room-temperature thermoelectric materials has further broadened their application in biosensing.

[0003] In recent years, numerous studies have demonstrated the potential of thermoelectric materials in the sensor field. For example, high-resolution temperature sensors, electronic skin arrays, high-performance dual-parameter sensors based on bismuth telluride thin films, and photothermal-thermoelectric biosensors have been developed. However, current research primarily focuses on the application of thermoelectric materials in electronic skin or temperature sensors, neglecting their potential applications in biosensors for detecting biomarkers or microorganisms, which limits the development of thermoelectric materials.

[0004] Accurate detection and measurement of reactive oxygen species, such as hydrogen peroxide, are crucial for clinical diagnosis and targeted therapy. Hydrogen peroxide is produced during cellular metabolism, and excess levels are associated with a variety of diseases. Monitoring hydrogen peroxide concentration is essential for understanding its role in health and disease. Emerging detection technologies have improved measurement sensitivity and specificity, but still face challenges such as high cost and time consumption. Thermoelectric materials, which convert the heat energy generated by chemical reactions into electrical signals, hold promise as ideal materials for rapid and sensitive measurement of hydrogen peroxide in biological samples, providing a foundation for the development of innovative, efficient, and accurate H2O2 biosensors.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0023] Example 1: Synthesis and Identification of the Silver Selenide Thin Film Sensor of the Present Invention

[0024] 1. Principles and Applications of Silver Selenide Biosensors

[0025] Figure 1 The principles, architecture, and applications of silver selenide-based biosensors were demonstrated. Figure 1 The mechanism of the biosensor is explained in section a. In the presence of horseradish peroxidase (HRP), hydrogen peroxide can oxidize ABTS to generate ABTS radicals (ABTS·+). When excited by infrared light, ABTS·+ releases heat, creating a temperature gradient on the biosensor, which in turn generates a voltage signal via the Seebeck effect. The voltage output of the silver selenide-based biosensor is controlled by the generated temperature gradient, which is directly affected by the amount of ABTS·+ produced. Therefore, the voltage signal emitted by the silver selenide biosensor serves as a reliable indicator for quantifying the hydrogen peroxide concentration in a sample.

[0026] then, Figure 1 bd details the fabrication and working mechanism of a silver selenide-based biosensor based on a silver selenide thermoelectric thin film. A standard solution containing horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and ABTS (see [link to documentation]). Figure 1 f) After being mixed with a hydrogen peroxide solution of a certain concentration, the mixture is added to one side of the biosensor chamber. Then, a laser beam is perpendicularly irradiated onto the solution. The photothermal conversion of ABTS·+ causes the temperature inside the solution to rise, thereby creating a temperature difference on opposite sides of the biosensor. The induced thermal gradient on the silver selenide biosensor generates a voltage output through the Seebeck effect within the silver selenide sensing layer. This voltage output is proportional to the concentration of the hydrogen peroxide being measured.

[0027] Based on the above working principle Figure 1 eg demonstrates three specific applications of the x-silver selenide biosensor principle in the detection of hydrogen peroxide, including assessing the concentration of hydrogen peroxide in food samples and quantifying the bacterial concentrations of Streptococcus spp. and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

[0028] 2. Characterization and results of silver selenide thin films

[0029] To confirm the phase structure of the Ag₂Se film obtained on the PE substrate, we performed typical X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis on the prepared silver selenide. The XRD patterns confirmed that the diffraction patterns of all films could be well indexed to β-Ag₂Se, referring to the Ag₂Se standard PDF card (PDF number 24-1041), and no diffraction peaks for silver were detected. This confirms that the obtained silver selenide film is pure and possesses polycrystalline properties. Figure 2 a). To further characterize the chemical properties of the obtained silver selenide film, we used X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to measure the overall XPS spectrum and the corresponding high-resolution XPS spectrum of the silver selenide sample, showing Ag 3d 3 / 2 Ag 3d 5 / 2 、Se 3d 3 / 2 and Se 3d 5 / 2 The peak value confirmed that the obtained membrane was pure silver selenide. Figure 2 b, c).

[0030] To demonstrate the morphology of the synthesized silver selenide film, we used scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Top and side SEM images of the silver selenide / resin film show that a homogeneous silver selenide film was obtained. Figure 2 d, e)

[0031] To further investigate the structural features of the silver selenide film and the underlying resin substrate, we used transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to observe cross-sections of a typical silver selenide film. Figure 2 f,) results show that it has a polycrystalline morphology.

[0032] High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) observations showed that silver selenide and the resin substrate could form a robust interface. Figure 2 h). The elemental mapping results further confirmed the uniform distribution of silver and selenium, and no impurities were observed. Figure 2 h,i).

[0033] We measured several key thermoelectric parameters of a 200 nm thick silver selenide film at different temperatures, including the Seebeck coefficient S and conductivity σ, and calculated PF = S. 2 σ obtained the power factor (PF) values ​​of silver selenide thin films of different thicknesses (e.g. Figure 2 (As shown in j). The response voltage curves of films of different thicknesses to objects at the same temperature are shown in... Figure 2 As shown in k, the results indicate that the 200 nm film has a shorter response time.

[0034] Example 2: Performance Testing of the Silver Selenide Thin Film Sensor of the Present Invention

[0035] 1. Synthesis and Assembly of Silver Selenide Sensors

[0036] 1.1 Synthesis of Silver Selenide Thin Films

[0037] A 15mm thick resin block, printed and cured by a 3D printer, was sputtered using an ion sputtering apparatus. The silver target in the ion sputtering apparatus was 50mm in diameter and 99.99% pure. During sputtering, the operating current of the ion sputtering apparatus was 20mA, the operating pressure was 4Pa, and the operating time was 1000 seconds. The shape of the silver selenide film was controlled by a 3D-printed mask, resulting in three elongated films, each 2mm x 15mm. After synthesizing the silver nanofilm, it was reacted with a pre-prepared sodium sulfide-selenium solution for 30 seconds. The solution was prepared by dissolving 0.6g of sodium sulfide nonahydrate in 20ml of double-distilled water. After complete dissolution, 0.2g of selenium powder was added, and the solution was stirred until it changed from colorless to deep red. After 30 seconds, the silver nanofilm changed from white to a grayish-blue silver selenide nanofilm. It was then rinsed with double-distilled water, cleaned, and dried at room temperature. The silver selenide film was then obtained. 1.2 Fabrication of Silver Selenide Biosensor

[0038] A silver selenide biosensor is constructed by connecting a silver selenide film end-to-end using conductive silver paste, then connecting it to wires to form a circuit. A polyethylene film is then placed over the film for protection. Finally, a 3D-printed resin block with circular holes is placed over the film; the area containing the holes serves as the sensing region. In this design, the silver selenide layer acts as the sensing layer, converting temperature differences into readable signals. The polyethylene film covering the silver selenide film provides protection and isolation, effectively preventing interference from external factors such as humidity, gases, and mechanical forces.

[0039] A schematic diagram of the synthesis of silver selenide thin films and the construction process of silver selenide biosensors is shown below. Figure 2 As shown in a.

[0040] 2. Sensor performance testing

[0041] The visible-ultraviolet absorption spectra of ABTS / HRP after incubation with different concentrations of hydrogen peroxide are as follows: Figure 3 As shown in bc. To confirm the specificity of this detection strategy, we compared the sensor's response to H2O2 and other common substances (including alcohol, glycine, glycerol, sodium chloride, and uric acid). Figure 3 d). The results show that the sensor exhibits a specific response only to H2O2. Therefore, this sensor has high sensitivity and specificity to H2O2. Figure 3As shown in Figure e, the sensor exhibits different voltage response curves for different hydrogen peroxide concentrations, indicating that higher concentrations elicit a stronger voltage response. Further analysis of the voltage difference ΔV at 60 seconds revealed a direct correlation between the voltage difference and the hydrogen peroxide concentration within a specific range, with an accuracy as high as 77.6 μV / μM. Furthermore, based on the formula 3σ / S (where σ represents the standard deviation of the blank sample and S represents the slope of the calibration curve), the detection limit was calculated to be 260 nM.

[0042] Example 3: Detection function of the silver selenide biosensor of the present invention for Streptococcus sanguinis.

[0043] Figure 4 A demonstrates the operational steps and basic principles for measuring the concentration of Streptococcus sanguinis using a thermoelectric effect-based sensor. First, hydrogen peroxide secreted by Streptococcus sanguinis reacts with a standard solution to generate ABTS·+. Subsequently, under 808nm laser excitation, ABTS·+ releases heat, causing a temperature difference in the sensor and generating a voltage signal, thereby enabling the detection of the Streptococcus sanguinis concentration.

[0044] Figure 4 Images b and 4c, imaged using microscopy and scanning electron microscopy respectively, confirmed the classic morphology of Streptococcus sanguinis and its uncontaminated state. The scanning electron microscopy images revealed the typical chain-like arrangement of Streptococcus sanguinis.

[0045] Figure 4 d shows different concentrations of Streptococcus sanguinis (ranging from 2 to 10 × 10⁻⁶). 5 The colony growth was observed after two days of incubation on BHI agar at a concentration of CFU / ml. The results showed that the number of colonies increased with increasing concentrations of Streptococcus sanguinis, indicating a direct correlation between colony count and bacterial concentration.

[0046] To investigate the relationship between the generated hydrogen peroxide and the concentration of Streptococcus sanguinis and Streptococcus sanguinis. Figure 5 e shows the results of staining with a ROS kit after incubation of bacteria at different concentrations in an anaerobic environment. Figure 4 The heatmap shows that the higher the bacterial concentration, the stronger the total fluorescence intensity. Figure 5 g further shows that the average fluorescence intensity per unit area increases linearly with increasing bacterial concentration.

[0047] Figure 4 h illustrates the use of the biosensor of the present invention to test the hydrogen peroxide concentration in the supernatant after centrifugation, and the results show that the hydrogen peroxide concentration is linearly related to the concentration of Streptococcus sanguinis. Figure 4The consistency of the above results was verified using a hydrogen peroxide reagent kit, further confirming the reliability of the sensor. Based on these results, the detection limit of this sensor for Streptococcus sanguinis was determined to be 3 × 10⁻⁶. 4 CFU / ml.

[0048] In summary, the thermoelectric effect-based sensor provided by this invention has the advantages of high sensitivity, strong specificity, and simple operation. It can accurately detect the hydrogen peroxide level and the concentration of Streptococcus sanguinis in beverages, which is of great significance for the prevention and treatment of oral diseases and heart infections.

[0049] Example 3: Detection function of the silver selenide biosensor of the present invention against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).

[0050] Figure 5 This study demonstrates the catalytic enzyme activity of MRSA in the presence of hydrogen peroxide and its impact on the thermoelectric sensor signal. MRSA can secrete catalase to resist damage from hydrogen peroxide. When MRSA was exposed to different concentrations of hydrogen peroxide and incubated, the supernatant obtained by centrifugation reacted with a standard solution. The presence of bacteria reduced the generation of ABTS·+, thereby weakening the electrical signal generated by the sensor and decreasing the temperature gradient. By comparing the weakened electrical signal with the original hydrogen peroxide signal, the concentration of MRSA can be determined.

[0051] Figure 5 Figure b shows the growth of different concentrations of MRSA on LB agar medium. After one day of incubation, the number of colonies on the agar was positively correlated with the MRSA concentration.

[0052] Figure 5 c shows the microstructure of MRSA at different concentrations after incubation with the same concentration (10 μM) of hydrogen peroxide. The results show that the damage caused by hydrogen peroxide to the bacteria decreases with increasing bacterial concentration, indicating that the catalase secreted by MRSA has a protective effect.

[0053] Figure 5 Figure d shows the ROS staining results of MRSA samples, with the lowest concentration of MRSA exhibiting the highest ROS intensity. Figure 5 The three-dimensional fluorescence intensity plot of e more intuitively shows the trend of ROS intensity decreasing with increasing MRSA concentration. Figure 5 Quantitative analysis of f further confirmed this pattern, indicating that the higher the bacterial concentration, the greater the consumption of hydrogen peroxide.

[0054] Figure 5g shows the results of detecting MRSA centrifuged supernatant after incubation with hydrogen peroxide using a biosensor. The voltage signal decreases with increasing bacterial concentration, indicating that MRSA decomposes the hydrogen peroxide. The linear relationship between the voltage signal and bacterial concentration demonstrates the potential of the sensor in MRSA detection. Figure 5 h shows the results of testing the same supernatant using a commercial hydrogen peroxide detection kit, with a consistent trend, further enhancing the reliability of the sensor.

[0055] In summary, the thermoelectric effect-based biosensor provided by this invention can detect MRSA concentration with high sensitivity, and the detection threshold is as low as 6 × 10⁻⁶. 4 The CFU / ml concentration exceeds the microbial concentration required for clinical infection diagnosis. This sensor has significant application value in MRSA detection and the diagnosis of drug-resistant infections.
