Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of colorimetric detection technology, specifically relating to a method for preparing high-entropy sulfide nanoenzyme materials and their application in colorimetric analysis for the detection of sulfadiazine. Background Technology

[0002] Sulfadiazine (SD) is a commonly used antibiotic in clinical practice. It is easily absorbed orally and has certain antibacterial activity against hemolytic streptococci, staphylococci, meningococci, and pneumococci. It can also be used to treat respiratory infections, skin and soft tissue infections, intestinal infections, typhoid fever, and plague caused by susceptible bacteria. Furthermore, it can be used in combination with pyrimethamine to treat toxoplasmosis. Therefore, establishing a highly sensitive method for detecting SD is crucial. Currently, methods for SD determination include fluorescence analysis, colorimetry, flow injection analysis, and electrochemiluminescence. Among these, colorimetry has broad application prospects due to its simple operation, fast response, and high reliability. The widespread adoption of nanozymes is largely attributed to their unique characteristics, including high stability, ease of storage, cost-effectiveness, and excellent catalytic performance. Nanozyme-based colorimetric analysis has shown good application potential in various fields, from environmental pollutant and food monitoring to disease diagnosis. Tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) is one of the most classic and common oxidase substrates. The synergistic effect of the multi-metal structure of the F3CZ-48 nanozyme significantly enhances its peroxidase activity and accelerates the oxidation of TMB by H2O2.

[0031] Example 1: Preparation of high-entropy sulfide F3CZ-48 nanoenzyme material

[0032] (a) The preparation method is as follows:

[0033] 1) Preparation of high-entropy sulfide F3CZ-48 nanozyme material: The metal nitrates of Fe, Co, Cu, Cr, and Zr, Fe(NO3)3·9H2O, Co(NO3)2·6H2O, Cu(NO3)2·3H2O, Cr(NO3)3·9H2O, and Zr(NO3)4·5H2O, were dissolved at a concentration of 0.5 mmol in 35 mL of isopropanol. After sonication for 20 min, 5 mL of glycerol was added. The resulting suspension was then transferred to a 100 mL high-pressure reactor and heated at 150 °C for 10 h in an oven. After filtration and washing, the metal precursor was obtained. 100 mg of the metal precursor and 167 mg of thioacetamide (TAA) were dissolved in 50 mL of ethanol and stirred for 30 min. The mixture was then heated at 160 °C for 48 h in an oven. After cooling to room temperature, the mixture is centrifuged, washed, and vacuum dried to obtain a gray-black powder, which is the high-entropy sulfide F3CZ-48 nanoenzyme material.

[0034] 2) Steady-state kinetics study of high-entropy sulfide F3CZ-48 nanozyme material: The catalytic activity and mechanism of F3CZ-48 were studied using steady-state kinetic experiments and methods, and kinetic parameters were obtained. Based on the change in absorbance at 652 nm, the rate of oxTMB formation in the solution was calculated (molar absorptivity ε of oxTMB = 39000 mol / L). -1 cm -1 The curve can be fitted by plotting the reaction rate against the corresponding substrate concentration and changing the TMB (0.1-1.2 mmol L). -1 ) and H2O2 (30-200 mmol L) -1 The content of TMB or H2O2 was used to further investigate the kinetic mechanism of peroxidase activity. Steady-state kinetic parameters were studied within appropriate concentration ranges of TMB or H2O2. Figure 3 As shown, the reactions of F3CZ-48 peroxidase to TMB and H2O2 both follow the Michaelis-Menten equation. The maximum initial rate of TMB (ν) max ) and Michaelis constant (K m The values ​​are 57.36 × 10⁻⁶ respectively. -8 mol L -1 s -1 and 3.25 mmol L -1 The maximum initial velocity of H2O2 was 4.02 × 10⁻⁶. -8 molL -1 s -1 and 8.37 mmol L -1 This indicates that it has a significant affinity for TMB and H2O2.

[0035] 3) Optimization of the detection system conditions: The peroxidase activity of F3CZ-48 was evaluated by varying the pH (1.0-9.0) and temperature (15-45 °C) during the TMB oxidation process in the presence of H2O2. The highest catalytic activity of F3CZ-48 was observed at pH 5.0 and temperature 20 °C. When the concentration of F3CZ-48 increased from 0.02 mg / mL... -1 Increase to 0.08 mg / mL -1 At this point, the absorbance gradually increased, reaching equilibrium after 25 minutes. However, at a concentration of 0.1 mg / mL... -1 At that time, the absorbance level continued to increase, and the experiment could not be performed stably. Therefore, in subsequent experiments, the concentration of F3CZ-48 was 0.08 mg / mL. -1 .

[0036] (II) Test Results

[0037] Figure 1 The images show scanning electron microscope (SEM) images and EDS elemental mapping of the F3CZ-48 nanozyme powder prepared in Example 1. The images show that the matrix is ​​a gray continuous phase with black particles of sulfides dispersed in it. The Fe, Co, Cu, Cr and Zr elements are evenly distributed, showing good dispersibility, which is beneficial for the full exposure of active sites. Figure 2 This is the XRD pattern of the F3CZ-48 nanozyme powder prepared in Example 1. F3CZ-48 synthesized at different reaction times was compared with a standard card (Cu... 0.4 Fe 0.6 (S2 PDF#82-0234) Alignment. The results show that Fe and Cu are the main active components of F3CZ-48, and the highest peak intensity was observed at a reaction time of 48 h, indicating a significant increase in crystallinity and grain size. In order to shorten the reaction time and reduce energy consumption, 48 h was selected as the optimal reaction condition.

[0038] Example 2: Application of high-entropy sulfide F3CZ-48 nanoenzyme material in colorimetric analysis for SD detection

[0039] Test method: The glassy carbon electrode modified with F3CZ-48 was used as the working electrode.

[0040] Electrochemically active specific surface area (ECSA) is an important factor affecting catalyst performance. ECSA is measured using the electrochemical double-layer capacitance (C0). dl It is determined by the slope of a linear fit between the current density and the scan rate. For example... Figure 4 As shown, the C of F3CZ-8, F3CZ-24, F3CZ-48, and F3CZ-72 dl The values ​​were 0.57, 0.80, 0.89, and 0.64 mF cm, respectively.-2 This indicates that the F3CZ-48 catalyst electrode has a large exposed surface area in the electrolyte, which helps promote electron transport on the catalyst surface. The charge transfer capability of F3CZ was investigated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Figure 5 In this context, the smaller the semicircular arc, the smaller the charge transfer resistance and the stronger the charge transfer capability.

[0041] Tests under different reaction systems, such as Figure 6 As shown, F3CZ-48 effectively catalyzed the oxidation of colorless TMB to blue oxTMB, producing an absorbance signal peak at 652 nm. This only occurred in the presence of both TMB and H2O2, highlighting the significant peroxidase-like activity of F3CZ-48 and its ability to catalyze H2O2-induced TMB oxidation.

[0042] Prepare 10 mmol L -1 The TMB solution was stored in a brown volumetric flask protected from light, and the 15% H2O2 solution was stored under light-protected conditions. The test was performed in 820 μL of Britton-Robinson buffer (pH 5.0), using TMB as the chromogenic substrate. 30 μL of 0.08 mg / mL TMB solution was added. -1 F3CZ-48 nanozyme, 50 μL, 10 mmol L -1 TMB and 50 μL of 15% H2O2 were sequentially added to Britton-Robinson buffer solutions of different concentrations of SD, and incubated at 20 °C for 25 min. The absorbance at 652 nm was recorded. Figure 7 , Figure 8 As can be seen, the change in absorbance intensity of the F3CZ-48 nanozyme material with changes in SD concentration can be expressed by the equation y = -0.2017 logC. SD +0.4536 Description. Absorbance intensity decreases monotonically with increasing SD concentration, correlation coefficient (R) 2 The correlation coefficient (CLC) was 0.993, indicating a very strong linear correlation between ECL intensity and SD concentration. Furthermore, the limit of detection (LOD) for SD was 0.121 μM, the lowest concentration measured at a signal-to-noise ratio (S / N) of 3.

[0043] In summary, the high-entropy sulfide F3CZ-48 nanozyme material of this invention has good sensitivity, selectivity, anti-interference and reproducibility, and has good development prospects in the field of colorimetric analysis for the detection of sulfadiazine.
