Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of functional materials and electrochemical sensing technology, specifically relating to a Ce / Zr bimetallic doped UiO-67 material, method, and application for nitric oxide detection. Background Technology
[0002] Nitric oxide (NO), a crucial gaseous signaling molecule in living organisms, is widely involved in and regulates various core physiological and pathological processes, including cardiovascular function, neurotransmission, immune responses, and apoptosis. Its concentration levels in biological systems (typically in the nanomolar to micromolar range) are closely related to the occurrence, development, and prognosis of many major diseases, such as inflammation, sepsis, cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative diseases, and cancer. Therefore, developing real-time, highly sensitive, highly selective, and highly stable detection technologies for NO in complex biological environments is of significant scientific value and urgently needed for a deeper understanding of disease mechanisms, the discovery of early diagnostic biomarkers, and the dynamic evaluation of treatment efficacy.
[0003] Currently, the detection of NO mainly relies on spectroscopic and electrochemical methods. Spectroscopic methods, such as chemiluminescence and fluorescent probe methods, typically have high sensitivity, but often require complex sample pretreatment, rely on large, precision instruments, or introduce exogenous labeled molecules, making it difficult to achieve truly real-time, in vivo, and non-intrusive detection, and they are also costly. In contrast, electrochemical methods are simple to operate, have a fast response, are easy to miniaturize and integrate, and are suitable for continuous monitoring, making them the most promising in vivo NO detection methods. The core of these methods lies in the electrocatalytic material modified on the surface of the working electrode, which directly determines the sensor's performance.
[0004] Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have shown great potential in the field of electrochemical sensing due to their ultra-high specific surface area, tunable pore structure, and abundant designable active sites. Among them, the UiO-67 series MOFs have attracted much attention due to their excellent structural stability in aqueous and electrochemical environments. Previous studies have attempted to introduce the redox-active element Ce into the MOF framework (such as Ce-UiO-67), utilizing Ce... 3+ / Ce 4+The catalytic activity of redox couples is used to detect H2O2 or gas molecules. In addition, research has explored the construction of bimetallic MOFs, aiming to enhance specific catalytic performance through synergistic effects between metals. Monometallic MOFs, represented by Ce-UiO-67, have single catalytic active sites, limited adsorption capacity for polar NO molecules, and generally poor conductivity, resulting in sensor sensitivity, response speed, and stability that fail to meet the requirements for detecting complex biological samples. Existing bimetallic MOF research has largely focused on combining metals with similar catalytic activities, or has failed to precisely design the functional division and synergistic mechanisms between metals. For the specific detection pathway of NO molecules—"adsorption followed by catalytic oxidation"—there is a lack of a directional material design strategy that can simultaneously enhance adsorption and accelerate electron transfer. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a Ce / Zr bimetallic doped UiO-67 material, method, and application for nitric oxide detection, in order to solve the technical problems of insufficient sensitivity, limited selectivity, and poor long-term stability in the electrochemical detection of the biolabeled molecule NO in the prior art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention employs the following technical solution: This invention discloses a method for preparing Ce / Zr bimetallic doped UiO-67 material for nitric oxide detection, comprising the following steps: 4,4'-biphenyl dicarboxylic acid was dissolved in a polar solvent, ultrasonically dispersed, and then a mixed solution of cerium salt and zirconium salt was added. After stirring, a precursor solution was obtained. A carboxylic acid modifier is added to the precursor solution, followed by a solvothermal reaction to obtain the reaction product; After post-processing the reaction products, Ce / Zr bimetallic doped UiO-67 material for nitric oxide detection was obtained.
[0007] Furthermore, the carboxylic acid modifier is glacial acetic acid; The polar solvent is N,N-dimethylformamide; the cerium salt is cerium ammonium nitrate; and the zirconium salt is zirconium oxynitrate.
[0008] Furthermore, the mixed solution of cerium salt and zirconium salt is obtained by mixing cerium salt and zirconium salt in deionized water; In the mixed solution of cerium salt and zirconium salt, the molar ratio of cerium to zirconium is 1:4 to 4:1; the concentration of the mixed solution of cerium salt and zirconium salt is 0.3 to 0.6 M.
[0009] Furthermore, the ratio of 4,4'-biphenyl dicarboxylic acid to polar solvent is 0.5~1g:20~30mL.
[0010] Furthermore, the ratio of the volume of the mixed solution of 4,4'-biphenyldicarboxylic acid and cerium salt to zirconium salt is 0.5~1g:10~20mL.
[0011] Furthermore, the ratio of the precursor solution to the carboxylic acid modifier is 20-30 mL: 1-2 mL.
[0012] Furthermore, the temperature of the solvothermal reaction is 80~120℃, the time is 15~30min, and the condition of the solvothermal reaction is an oil bath.
[0013] Furthermore, the post-processing includes sequential centrifugation, washing, and vacuum drying. The washing process involves sequentially washing with DMSO, DMF, and anhydrous ethanol. The vacuum drying temperature is 65~75℃.
[0014] The present invention also discloses a Ce / Zr bimetallic doped UiO-67 material for nitric oxide detection prepared by the above method, wherein the Ce / Zr bimetallic doped UiO-67 material has a porous crystal structure.
[0015] The present invention also discloses the application of the Ce / Zr bimetallic doped UiO-67 material nitric oxide electrochemical sensor for nitric oxide detection. The sensor has a detection limit of less than 50 nM for nitric oxide, a linear detection range of 280 nM to 127 μM, and a current response retention rate of more than 87% after four weeks of continuous operation.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: This invention discloses a method for preparing Ce / Zr bimetallic doped UiO-67 material for nitric oxide detection. This method combines the synergistic catalytic advantages of Ce / Zr bimetals, the structural stability of the UiO-67 framework, and the morphological controllability of glacial acetic acid modulation, forming a novel material preparation method for highly sensitive and selective electrochemical sensing of nitric oxide. The glacial acetic acid-assisted solvothermal synthesis is a mild yet efficient material preparation strategy, playing a crucial role in achieving uniform metal ion doping and precise control of the framework structure. It can construct bimetallic nodes with abundant active sites in situ, giving the material excellent intrinsic electrocatalytic activity. The synergistic effect of the Ce / Zr bimetallic nodes provides an efficient reaction interface for the adsorption and oxidation of NO. The strongly Lewis acidic Zr sites effectively enrich NO molecules, while the reversible Ce... 3+ / Ce 4 +Redox couples efficiently catalyze electron transfer processes, significantly enhancing sensing performance. The introduction of acetic acid modulator further optimizes crystal growth, increases the specific surface area of the material, and promotes the exposure of active sites, thereby solving the problems of insufficient activity and poor stability of traditional MOF materials in electrochemical sensing.
[0017] Furthermore, this method synthesizes the target material in one step, avoiding complex post-modification or composite steps, simplifying the process flow. The material properties can be precisely controlled by adjusting the metal ratio and the amount of acetic acid, exhibiting good reproducibility and suitability for large-scale preparation. In addition, the material prepared by this method possesses excellent chemical and mechanical stability, and can be directly used to construct durable electrochemical sensors, providing a reliable material basis for in vivo, real-time NO detection.
[0018] The present invention also discloses a Ce / Zr bimetallic doped UiO-67 material prepared by the above preparation method. This material has a highly ordered porous crystal structure and a uniform pore size distribution, providing an ideal channel for efficient mass transfer and adsorption of reactant molecules.

Figure 1 As shown.
[0027] This invention provides a method for preparing Ce / Zr bimetallic doped UiO-67 material for highly sensitive electrochemical sensing of nitric oxide, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Preparation of precursor solution: Dissolve the organic ligand 4,4'-biphenyl dicarboxylic acid in a polar solvent, disperse it by ultrasonication, and then add a mixed solution of cerium salt and zirconium salt, wherein the molar ratio of cerium to zirconium is 1:4 to 4:1.

[0034] Example 2 A method for preparing Ce / Zr bimetallic doped UiO-67 material for nitric oxide detection includes the following steps: 1 g of 4,4'-biphenyl dicarboxylic acid was ultrasonically dispersed in 20 mL of DMF for 30 min. Under continuous stirring, 10 mL of 0.533 M cerium ammonium nitrate and 10 mL of 0.533 M zirconium oxynitrate solution were added dropwise to the mixture. After stirring for 5 min, 2 mL of glacial acetic acid was added dropwise to the mixture. The reaction system was then heated in an oil bath at 80 ℃ for 30 min. The resulting yellow precipitate was collected and washed once with DMSO, once with DMF, and three times with ethanol. The final product was dried in an oven at 65 ℃ for 12 h to obtain Ce / Zr bimetallic doped UiO-67 material for nitric oxide detection.
[0035] Comparative Example 1 A method for preparing Ce / Zr bimetallic doped UiO-67 material for nitric oxide detection includes the following steps: 0.5 g of 4,4'-biphenyl dicarboxylic acid was ultrasonically dispersed in 30 mL of DMF for 30 min. Under continuous stirring, 10 mL of 0.533 M cerium ammonium nitrate solution was added dropwise to the mixture. The reaction system was then heated in an oil bath at 100 ℃ for 15 min. The resulting yellow precipitate was collected and washed once with DMSO, once with DMF, and three times with ethanol. The final product was dried in an oven at 70 ℃ for 12 h to obtain Ce / Zr bimetallic doped UiO-67 material (Ce-UiO-67) for nitric oxide detection.
[0036] The Ce-UiO-67 has a particle size of 667 nm. Ce-UiO-67 and carbon black were mixed in a 1:1 ratio to prepare a 5 mg / mL conductive slurry, which was ultrasonically dispersed for 30 min. 5 μL of the slurry was then uniformly coated onto the surface of a glassy carbon electrode, and its NO sensing characteristics were tested in a deoxygenated phosphate solution. Figure 6 As shown in Example 1, the oxidation current at 0.85 V is 13.1 μA and the impedance is 98.77 Ω.
[0037] Comparative Example 2 A method for preparing Ce / Zr bimetallic doped UiO-67 material for nitric oxide detection includes the following steps: 0.5 g of 4,4'-biphenyl dicarboxylic acid was ultrasonically dispersed in 30 mL of DMF for 30 min. Under continuous stirring, 6 mL of 0.533 M cerium ammonium nitrate and 4 mL of 0.533 M zirconium oxynitrate solution were added dropwise to the mixture. The reaction system was then heated in an oil bath at 100 ℃ for 15 min. The resulting yellow precipitate was collected and washed once with DMSO, once with DMF, and three times with ethanol. The final product was dried in an oven at 70 ℃ for 12 h to obtain Ce / Zr bimetallic doped UiO-67 material (Ce3Zr2-UiO-67) for nitric oxide detection.
[0038] The particle size of the Ce3Zr2-UiO-67 is Figure 3 The measured NO sensing wavelength was 449 nm. Ce3Zr2-UiO-67 and carbon black were mixed in a 1:1 ratio to prepare a 5 mg / mL conductive slurry. This slurry was ultrasonically dispersed for 30 min. 5 μL of the slurry was then uniformly coated onto the surface of a glassy carbon electrode, and its NO sensing characteristics were tested in a deoxygenated phosphate solution. (Example: ...) Figure 6 As shown in Example 2, the oxidation current at 0.85 V is 24.2 μA and the impedance is 87.18 Ω. Compared with Example 1, the introduction of Zr in Example 2 increases the oxidation current and reduces the impedance, resulting in better overall sensing characteristics for NO.
[0039] The particle size of H1-Ce3Zr2-UiO-67 is Figure 1 The measured 449 nm; H1-Ce3Zr2-UiO-67 and carbon black were mixed in a 1:1 ratio to prepare a 5 mg / mL conductive slurry, which was ultrasonically dispersed for 30 min. 5 μL of the slurry was then uniformly coated onto a glassy carbon electrode, and the NO sensing characteristics were tested in a deoxygenated phosphate solution. (Example: ...) Figure 6 As demonstrated, Example 1 showed an oxidation current of 35.1 μA and an impedance of 84.3 Ω at 0.85 V. Compared to Comparative Examples 1 and 2, the acetic acid-controlled sample in Example 1 showed a significant increase in oxidation current and a significant decrease in impedance. Figure 6 c and d show that the sample has a specific response only to NO, and the current response to other interfering substances is negligible. Figure 6 e indicates that there is a linear relationship between the detection current and concentration of NO in the sample. Figure 5 Example 1 shows a rapid response to NO within 1.4 s. Figure 7 b indicates that Example 1 retains 87% of its oxidation current after 28 days. Based on various characterizations, Example 1 demonstrates high sensitivity, high selectivity, low detection limit, and repeatability in NO sensing.
[0040] Figure 1This diagram illustrates the electrochemical sensing mechanism of the Ce / Zr bimetallic doped UiO-67 material prepared for nitric oxide detection according to the present invention. During oxidation, NO molecules diffuse from the solution to the surface of the Ce / Zr bimetallic doped UiO-67 material, where their lone pair electrons interact with the strongly Lewis acidic sites of Zr. 4+ The interaction between the materials enables efficient physical adsorption. The high specific surface area and uniformly distributed Zr sites ensure excellent NO capture efficiency. Meanwhile, Ce... 4+ As an electron acceptor, the oxidation of NO generates a detectable current-sensing signal through electron transfer. Zr 4+ The induced stronger adsorption can significantly increase the local NO concentration around the active Ce sites, thereby greatly accelerating electron transfer kinetics and overall reaction efficiency, ultimately achieving high sensitivity and rapid response. The generated NO... + It hydrolyzes with water molecules to form nitrous acid (HNO2), which then further dissociates. Simultaneously, Ce is generated... 3+ Electrochemical oxidation to Ce at the electrode interface 4+ This completes the sensing cycle, thereby maintaining Ce. 3+ / Ce 4+ Dynamic equilibrium of redox couples.
[0041] Figure 2 This diagram shows the synthesis process and structural design of the Ce / Zr bimetallic doped UiO-67 material for nitric oxide detection prepared in this invention.
[0042] Figure 3 SEM images and particle size distribution diagrams of Comparative Example 1, Comparative Example 2, and Example 1 are shown. Figure 3 As shown in Figure a, Comparative Example 1 exhibits an irregular blocky morphology with an average particle size of approximately 660 nm. In contrast, after introducing Zr into the framework, the particle size of Comparative Example 2 was significantly reduced ( Figure 3 (b) This is attributed to the introduction of dissimilar Zr nodes, which accelerates nucleation and inhibits grain growth. Furthermore, the addition of acetic acid as a modulator has a more significant impact on the grain size of the bimetallic MOF system. Figure 3 As shown in c, compared with the unmodulated Comparative Example 2, the average particle size of Comparative Example 1 is significantly reduced to about 41 nm.
[0043] Figure 4 The XRD patterns of Comparative Example 1, Comparative Example 2, and Example 1 are shown. All samples exhibit a sharp diffraction peak at 5.8°, which is consistent with the simulated spectrum of UiO-67. Figure 1 The successful construction of the target MOF framework was confirmed. Due to the reduced grain size (as confirmed by SEM images), the XRD diffraction peaks of Example 1 were significantly broadened.
[0044] Figure 5The N2 adsorption-desorption curves and pore size distributions of Comparative Example 1, Comparative Example 2, and Example 1 are shown. The BET specific surface area of Comparative Example 1 is 68.08 m² / g, while that of Comparative Example 2 is significantly increased to 312.52 m² / g. 2 / g, while the specific surface area of Example 1 was further increased to 522.11 m². 2 / g. This increase helps enhance NO adsorption capacity, thereby improving its NO sensing performance. All three materials exhibit a narrow pore size distribution centered at 1.1 nm. Clearly, the pore size of the synthesized sample is significantly larger than the NO molecule size (0.34 nm), but significantly smaller than the size of large protein molecules such as hemoglobin and immunoglobulins in the physiological environment (approximately 5 nm). This size difference facilitates the efficient diffusion of NO molecules within the MOF channels while simultaneously blocking the entry of large protein molecules.
[0045] like Figure 6 As shown in Figure a, after adding 100 μM NO, all three materials exhibited a significant oxidation peak around 0.85 V (relative to Ag / AgCl). Example 1 showed the highest peak current response (33.3 μA), approximately 1.38 times that of Comparative Example 2 (24.2 μA) and 2.54 times that of Comparative Example 1 (13.1 μA), indicating that it possessed the optimal electrocatalytic oxidation activity for NO. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) showed that Example 1 had the lowest interfacial charge transfer resistance (Rct = 74.98 Ω), lower than Comparative Example 2 (87.18 Ω) and Comparative Example 1 (98.77 Ω). Figure 6 b). The smallest Rct value indicates a significantly enhanced electron transfer kinetics and superior electrocatalytic activity. This application also evaluated the selectivity of Example 1 for NO in a complex system. Figure 6 As shown in cd, this material reacts with glucose (GLU) and nitrite (NO2). - ), nitrate (NO3) - The responses to physiologically relevant interfering substances such as uric acid (UA) and ascorbic acid (AA) were negligible. Their selectivity coefficients (interfering substance response / NO response) were only 1.51%, 1.99%, 0.24%, 6.48%, and 0.04%, respectively. Even after introducing the interfering substance and then adding NO again, Example 1 still maintained 97% of the current response, confirming its high specificity for NO recognition. The NO sensing performance of Example 1 was further evaluated in 0.1 M PBS using the chronoamperometry (It curve). Figure 6 e). The sensor exhibits a rapid current rise after each NO injection. For example... Figure 6As shown in the inset, its linear detection range is 280 nM to 127 μM, the regression equation is I(μA) = 0.1597C(μM) + 1.5397, and the normalized sensitivity is 2.26 μA·μM. -1 ·cm -2 According to the formula LOD = 3S / K (where S is the standard deviation of the blank signal and K is the slope of the calibration curve), the detection limit is calculated to be 32 nM.
[0046] Response dynamics test ( Figure 7 a) shows that Example 3 can reach 95% of the steady-state current within 1.4 seconds, meeting the key requirement for real-time detection of NO molecules with a half-life of only 3-6 seconds, and also providing the possibility for dynamic real-time monitoring of NO in biological systems. Furthermore, the sensor can still maintain 87% of its initial current response after four weeks of continuous operation. Figure 7 (b) demonstrates excellent long-term operational stability and practical application potential.
