Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of electrochemical sensors, specifically to an electrochemical sensor based on the synergistic signal amplification effect of MOF-on-MOF and MWCNTs-COOH, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Rapid industrialization and population explosion have led to a continuous increase in urban and industrial wastewater discharge. This wastewater contaminates water sources originally used for irrigation, drinking, and livestock farming, resulting in the accumulation of heavy metal ions (HMIs) in the human body. Lead ions (Pb) are a typical HMI. 2+ ) and mercury ions (Hg) 2+ Copper (Cu) poses a serious threat to various human organs due to its high toxicity, bioaccumulation, and non-biodegradability. Furthermore, excessive intake of copper (Cu) can lead to adverse effects. 2+ HMIs (Hydrogen-Degenerative Mixtures) may lead to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. HMIs have been reported to enter the human body through multiple routes, including the skin, respiratory tract, and digestive tract. Even at trace levels, HMIs can pose significant health risks. To mitigate these health hazards, the World Health Organization has established maximum permissible concentrations of HMIs in drinking water, specifically for Pb. 2+ Cu 2+ and Hg 2+ Limits of 10 µg / L, 2000 µg / L, and 6 µg / L were set. Therefore, systematic monitoring of the environmental concentration of HMIs is of great significance.
[0003] Electrochemical techniques with miniaturized sensing platforms offer advantages such as low cost, rapid response, high sensitivity, and low detection limits. In particular, differential pulsed anodic stripping voltammetry (DPASV) is an effective electrochemical sensing strategy, which can be divided into two main steps: pretreatment and DPV detection. Due to its ability to simultaneously detect multiple analytes, rapid reaction time, and applicability to on-site monitoring, DPASV is an ideal technique for monitoring various HMIs. Furthermore, electrode modification materials are crucial to the DPASV sensing signal, as they can significantly improve pre-enrichment efficiency and promote the electrocatalytic oxidation process of HMIs. To improve electrode stability, sensing materials with high conductivity, large surface area, and abundant active sites need to be rationally designed. Summary of the Invention

[0017] 2. The sensing process fully utilizes the specific coordination ability of the -NH2 functional group for heavy metal ions, the efficient electron transfer characteristics of MWCNTs-COOH, and the electrostatic attraction between MWCNTs-COOH and positively charged metal ions. These three mechanisms work synergistically at the sensing interface, significantly improving the enrichment efficiency of the target analyte and the interfacial reaction kinetics, thereby enhancing the detection sensitivity and response speed.

This interface not only possesses a good electronic conduction network but also prevents material aggregation through the interaction between components, ensuring the reproducibility and long-term stability of the sensor in continuous detection, exhibiting excellent selectivity and reliability. The sensor uses differential pulsed anodic stripping voltammetry (DPASV) for detection, using the redox peaks of heavy metal ions (HMIs) as indicator signals, eliminating the need for additional signal tags. The linear range of this sensor is 0.10 ~ 25 μmol / L, with detection limits as low as 5.55 nmol / L, 4.16 nmol / L, and 6.38 nmol / L, respectively. The sensor prepared in this invention exhibits excellent selectivity, reproducibility, and stability for HMIs in river water and tap water.

[0074] Figure 2 The morphology of the different modified materials prepared in Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1 to 4 is characterized, where (A) is a SEM image of UiO-66-NH2; (B) is a TEM image of UiO-66-NH2; (C) is a SEM image of MIL-88B-NH2; (D) is a SEM image of MIL-88B-NH2@UiO-66-NH2; (E) is a TEM image of MIL-88B-NH2@UiO-66-NH2; and (F) is an EDS mapping image of MIL-88B-NH2@UiO-66-NH2. The SEM and TEM images of UiO-66-NH2 show a smooth surface and a regular octahedral structure with an average particle size of 40 nm. MIL-88B-NH2 exhibits a rod-like morphology with a length of approximately 400 nm and a width of approximately 30 nm. SEM and TEM images of MIL-88B-NH2@UiO-66-NH2 show a flower-like morphology composed of octahedral MIL-88B-NH2 and rod-shaped UiO-66-NH2 particles, with a total particle size of approximately 500 nm. C, N, and O elements are distributed throughout the particles, while Fe and Zr are distributed in the rod-shaped and octahedral portions, respectively. These results indicate that MIL-88B-NH2 epitaxially grown on each facet of UiO-66-NH2 forms a flower-like MOF on the MOF hybrid.
[0075] Figure 3 To contain 25 µmol / L Pb 2+ Cu 2+ and Hg 2+DPASV signal diagrams of different modified electrodes in 0.1 mol / L ABS. The current response of SPCE to blank ABS is negligible. However, in 0.1 M ABS containing HMIs, SPCE has a significant effect on Pb. 2+ Cu 2+ and Hg 2+ The MIL-88B-NH2@UiO-66-NH2 / SPCE exhibited a weak oxidation peak current. Three distinct exfoliation peaks were observed at -0.78, -0.28, and 0.04 V, attributed to its excellent electrocatalytic activity and abundant binding sites. Due to the effective surface area and abundant electron transport channels of MWCNTs-COOH, MWCNTs-COOH / SPCE showed a significant oxidation peak current for HMIs. MIL-88B-NH2@UiO-66-NH2 / MWCNTs-COOH / SPCE exhibited the strongest current response to HMIs, confirming its superior electrochemical activity.
