Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to a fluorescence sensor and application thereof, belonging to the fields of analytical chemistry and nanotechnology.
Background
Many transition metal ions play a crucial role in human life activities. Among these metal ions, copper ion (cu (ii)) is a divalent cation indispensable to the human body, which helps the organism to form red blood cells and acts as a neurotransmitter of physiological functions, and also acts as a catalytic cofactor of various metalloenzymes, including superoxide dismutase, cytochrome c oxidase, tyrosinase, and nuclease. When the copper content in a human body is abnormal, the copper content has obvious negative effects on the health of the human body, and excessive administration of Cu (II) can cause oxidative stress and neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Menkes and Wilson's disease. Furthermore, cu (ii) has become a major heavy metal contaminant in the environment due to a wide range of industrial and agricultural applications. Since it is not biodegradable and will eventually accumulate in the human body through the food chain, it is essential to develop an accurate and sensitive strategy for detecting cu (ii) for human health.
The traditional cu (ii) detection means are based on graphite flame atomic absorption spectroscopy, surface plasmon resonance sensors, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy, plasma resonance rayleigh scattering spectroscopy, etc. These methods all have a relatively high sensitivity, but their detection process is relatively complicated and requires expensive instruments and trained personnel. In recent years, fluorescent sensors have received increasing attention because of their advantages such as being non-destructive, cost-effective, and high sensitivity.
A fluorescence sensor is a molecular device that is sensitive to a specific analyte and can selectively interact with it to convert its concentration change into an optical signal or an electrical signal change output for detection. The fluorescence sensor technology adopts fluorescent groups, including inorganic materials such as up-conversion nano materials and quantum dots, and organic materials such as green fluorescent protein, red fluorescent protein or fluorescent dye to detect a target object. In recent years, fluorescent sensors have been widely used in the detection of target substances in some biological samples.
Nitrogen-doped carbon dots (N-CDs) have become a new photoluminescent inorganic material with low cost, low toxicity and good biocompatibility, and are widely used for fluorescence sensing and detection of bioactive substances. Patent CN 109321237 a discloses a nitrogen-sulfur double-doped carbon dot, a preparation method and an application thereof, comprising the following steps: taking papermaking waste sodium lignin sulfonate and cysteine as raw materials, placing the raw materials in a hydrothermal reaction kettle, carrying out hydrothermal reaction,after the reaction was completed, the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, and the obtained black product was centrifuged. Filtering the collected solution part by using a filter membrane, wherein the brown yellow solution obtained after filtering is a blue fluorescent carbon quantum dot solution, and the obtained carbon quantum dot can be used for Fe in water3+The analysis and detection of (3); the invention discloses a nitrogen-doped carbon dot and a preparation method and application thereof, and the preparation method comprises the following steps: placing urea and citric acid as raw materials in a hydrothermal reaction kettle for hydrothermal reaction, cooling to room temperature after the reaction is finished, and adding ethanol into the obtained product for centrifugal purification to obtain the product. The obtained nitrogen-doped carbon dots can be used for analyzing and detecting Cu (II) in serum. Compared with the method, the method has the following advantages: (1) only nitrogen doping in the carbon dots is required for detection. It is not necessary to dope both elements. (2) The operation steps for manufacturing the nitrogen-doped carbon dots are simple, the time is shorter, and only 8 hours are needed. (3) The detection range of the method for detecting the copper ions is wide and is 0.05 mu M-100 mu M. (4) The components in the serum are complex, and the method has better selectivity.
The invention constructs a fluorescence sensor suitable for detecting copper ions by utilizing the fact that copper ions can specifically catalyze and oxidize cysteine to form cystine and hydrogen peroxide and further catalyze and oxidize the hydrogen peroxide to generate hydroxyl radicals to quench fluorescence of nitrogen-doped carbon dots, and applies the fluorescence sensor to detection of the content of the copper ions in human serum.
