Method for detecting organophosphorus pesticide by using MOFs @ QDs material in farmland environment
Technical Field
The invention relates to a method for detecting organophosphorus pesticide by using MOFs @ QDs material in farmland environment
Background
Organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs) are a class of pesticides widely used in agricultural production, and are mainly used for preventing and treating plant diseases and insect pests. Because the half-life of OPPs is long, if the OPPs are improperly used, residual agricultural products of OPs, environment and water can pollute serious systems. OPPs have an irreversible inhibitory ability on acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity, interfere with the function of important organs, and finally cause respiratory paralysis and thus poisoning. The organophosphorus pesticide residue in water is mainly sprayed by the field, and the pesticide is infiltrated into a ditch, underground water and a river by the flushing of rainwater. Water is used as a main natural resource for human life, and the damage of the water body has great harm to organisms.
At present, the conventional detection methods for OPPs include large-scale instruments such as liquid chromatography, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and the like, immunoassay, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, enzyme inhibition assay, biosensor method and the like. Most of the traditional large-scale instrument methods are time-consuming, require specially trained technicians and are not suitable for field detection; although the immunological method can accurately identify the organophosphorus pesticide in the sample and simultaneously measure a plurality of samples, the immunological method is only operated in a laboratory and cannot be operated under field conditions; the biosensor has high selectivity, short time consumption and small instrument volume, is suitable for field measurement, but still has the problems of insufficient stability and accuracy at present, and needs further research.
Disclosure of Invention
In order to solve the problems in the background technology, the invention provides a method for detecting organophosphorus pesticides by using MOFs @ QDs materials in a farmland environment. The method has good detection capability and high detection sensitivity on the organophosphorus pesticide.
The MOFs @ QDs material is innovatively combined with MOFs and QDs, has two fluorescence emission peaks, has good detection capability on both high-toxicity organophosphorus pesticides methyl parathion and parathion, and has the properties of rapidness, high sensitivity and visualization.
The technical scheme adopted by the invention is as follows:
1) preparation of Zr-MOFs:
adding materials of 4-carboxyphenylbenzene, zirconium chloride and benzoic acid into Dimethylformamide (DMF) and water for ultrasonic mixing, putting the mixture into a polytetrafluoroethylene reaction kettle for reaction, naturally cooling, washing the mixture for 2 times by using the DMF, and then washing the mixture for 1 time by using methanol; then, drying at the temperature of 60-80 ℃ overnight to prepare the Zr-MOFs material;
2) preparing Zr-MOFs @ QDs materials:
dissolving 1-50 mg of Zr-MOFs material in water, carrying out ultrasonic mixing uniformly, adding Quantum Dots (QDs) for mixed ultrasonic, centrifuging, washing with water for 3 times, and drying to obtain a metal-organic framework Material (MOFs) and Quantum Dot (QDs) combined material, namely the Zr-MOFs @ QDs sensor;
3) fluorescence detection:
diluting the Zr-MOFs @ QDs sensor by PBS (phosphate buffer solution) to a certain concentration, adding 90 mu L of organophosphorus pesticide (0.005 mg/L-2 mg/L) with a certain mass concentration into 10 mu L of the sensor, uniformly mixing, and detecting fluorescence intensity in a micropore plate detector.
In the step 1), the 4-carboxyphenylbenzene is 1, 3, 5-tris (4-carboxyphenyl) benzene or 1, 2, 4, 5-tetrakis (4-carboxyphenyl) benzene.
In the step 1), the molar ratio of 4-carboxyphenylbenzene, zirconium tetrachloride and benzoic acid is 1: 1-5: 40 to 300.
The 1) Quantum Dots (QDs) are red QDs-625, which are abbreviated as QDs.
In the step 1), the volume ratio of the dimethyl formamide DMF to the water is 1 mL-10 mL:1 mL.
In the step 1), the reaction is carried out in a reaction kettle in polytetrafluoroethylene for 6 to 48 hours at the temperature of between 100 and 120 ℃.
In the step 2), the volume ratio of Zr-MOFs (concentration of 1mg/ml) and QDs (concentration of 8 mu M) which are metal-organic framework materials is 1 ml:1 to 50 μ L.
In the step 3), the concentration of the PBS solution is 0.01-0.2 mol/L, and the pH value is 6.0-8.0.
The concentration of Zr-MOFs @ QDs in said 3) was made 25. mu.g/mL by dilution before detection.
The organophosphorus pesticide is methyl parathion or parathion.
In the specific implementation of the invention, specificity detection is carried out, the product material of Zr-MOF @ Qds is mixed with different pesticides (0.25ppm) (taking systematic phosphorus, triazophos, sulfotep, fenamiphos, methyl isosulforaphane, omethoate, isocarbophos, methamidophos, phorate, malathion, coumaphos, fenamiphos, terbufos and fonofos) to be compared with the test results of methyl parathion and parathion, and PBS is taken as a control group.
In the invention, Zr4+And H4TCPB generates Zr-MOFs under the condition of a hot solvent. The prepared Zr-MOFs has strong blue fluorescence under the ultraviolet irradiation condition as shown in FIG. 1A, and the Zr-MOFs @ QDs are purple fluorescence due to wrapping of the QDs as shown in FIG. 1B.
As the concentration of the organophosphorus pesticide increases, the fluorescence of the MOFs @ QDs is gradually attenuated, and the concentration of the organophosphorus pesticide (methyl parathion and parathion) is inversely proportional to the fluorescence intensity of the MOFs @ QDs, so that the organophosphorus pesticide quantitative analysis optical sensing system based on the MOFs @ QDs is established.
The invention has the beneficial effects that:
the porous material of Zr-MOFs @ QDs prepared by the invention is a high-sensitivity sensor for rapidly detecting pesticide residues.
Based on sensitive fluorescence quenching, the experiment of the invention finds that MOF @ QDs have good detection capability on methyl parathion and parathion, and the concentration of the organophosphorus pesticide can be intuitively judged through the change of fluorescence color. The method provided by MOF @ QDs has a very wide linear detection range (0.005 mg/L-2 mg/L), and the lower detection limits of methyl parathion and parathion are 0.0019mg/L and 0.0049mg/L respectively.
The method can be effectively applied to the determination of methyl parathion and parathion in the farmland environment, and has potential application value in the aspect of rapid detection of pesticides in environmental samples.

Test conditions and results of the examples:
1. characterization of MOFs and Zr-MOFs @ QDs
A in FIG. 2 is the appearance of the Zr-MOFs represented by a scanning electron microscope and a transmission electron microscope, and shows a flower-shaped MOFs material with the average size of 0.6 μm, and B, the scanning electron microscope can see that a layer of substance is wrapped on the surface of the Zr-MOFs, the original appearance characteristics of the Zr-MOFs are lost, and a large number of QDs particles are embedded into the Zr-MOFs, so that the synthesis of MOF @ QDs is proved to be successful.
2. As the concentration of the pesticide is increased, the fluorescence of MOFs @ QDs at 400nm is remarkably reduced, the fluorescence of QDs at 625nm also has a descending trend, the fluorescence intensity is reduced along with the increase of the concentration of the pesticide overall, and the conversion from purple red to red is finally shown, and the result is shown in figure 3
3. The calculation formula for the quenching efficiency amount is (I)0-I)/I0,I0The initial emission peak intensity and I the emission peak intensity after addition of the analyte, the results are shown in FIG. 3. The quenching efficiency increases with increasing methyl parathion and the logarithm of the parathion concentration. Linear fitting of the equation methyl parathion to y 33.112x +83.235 (R)20.9936) parathion y 35.174x +83.906 (R)20.9927) to yield a linear curve of log quenching efficiency at final concentration in the range of 0.005mg/L to 2mg/L, x and y representing OPP, respectivelys concentration logarithm and quenching efficiency amount.
The limit of detection LOD was determined to be 0.0019mg/L for methyl parathion and 0.0049mg/L for parathion using the equation LOD ═ 3n/S, where n is the standard deviation of the response at the lowest concentration and S is the slope of the calibration curve.
4. Selectivity of Zr-MOFs @ QDs sensor to OPPs
In order to prove the specific selectivity of the prepared Zr-MOFs @ QDs sensor on 10 OPPs (ethoprophos, methyl isoxaphos, omethoate, isocarbophos, methamidophos, phorate, malathion, coumaphos, parathion and methyl parathion). Under the same conditions, the same concentration of each organophosphorus pesticide 0.25mg/L was measured.
FIG. 4 shows the response of fluorescence intensity to these OPPs. The result shows that the fluorescence signal is obviously changed due to the existence of 0.25mg/L methyl parathion and parathion, and the reduction range of other OPPs is small. Mainly due to quenching effect caused by fluorescence energy transfer effect of nitrobenzene in methyl parathion and parathion on Zr-MOF @ QDs.
Therefore, the sensor has higher sensitivity and selectivity for detecting the methyl parathion and the parathion.
5. Actual sample detection
The Zr-MOFs @ QDs sensor is used for detecting practical samples of OPPs.
The contents of methyl parathion and parathion in the sample are measured by adopting a standard addition method. Methyl parathion and parathion (0.01, 0.1 and 1mg/L) with different concentrations are respectively introduced into three samples of river water, field water and tap water, and fluorescence detection is carried out by using Zr-MOFs @ QDs.
The results are shown in Table 1, the average RSD of the methyl parathion recovery rate is between 93.23% and 116.46%, the average RSD is between 89.85% and 107.83%, and the average RSD is 5.75%.
