Description

Method for quantitatively detecting nano-plastics in water based on electrochemical sensor
Technical Field
The invention relates to a method for quantitatively detecting nano-plastics in water based on an electrochemical sensor, and belongs to the technical field of water detection.
Background
While the multifunctional use of plastics brings great benefits to life, there is concern about "plastic rejection". Once the plastic enters the natural circulation, it can cause substantial release of micro-plastics (1 μm-5 mm) and nano-plastics (< 1 μm) due to mechanical abrasion, uv radiation and (micro) biodegradation. The natural circulation of nano-plastics not only has adverse effects on agriculture and ecosystems, but also can be ingested by animals and humans along with the food chain (reticulation), and cause problems of cytotoxicity, immune response, oxidative stress, genetic toxicity, and the like. The high surface area of the nano-plastic makes it a good carrier for adsorbing organic or inorganic pollutants, and the formed composite pollutants can cause more serious harm to species.
Nano-plastics are considered an emerging contaminant that has the ability to adsorb organic and inorganic contaminants while circulating in the natural environment. To date, there have been some methods for detection and analysis of nanomaterials, mainly including spectrometry and mass spectrometry. Methods based on spectroscopic analysis include surface enhanced raman spectroscopy, multi-angle light scattering (MALS), etc., which have limitations on optical resolution, and when the nano-plastic size is below its optical resolution, practical detection is difficult to achieve. The mass spectrometry-based method is a widely used technology in the current nano-plastic analysis, mainly comprises single-particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (sp-ICP-MS), matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS), thermal cracking gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (Pyr-GC-MS) and the like, but the method is often dependent on a large instrument, is complex in operation and high in cost, and most of the method is required to add an adsorbent or an extractant to extract nano-plastic in water, and the complicated pretreatment steps are required to cause certain pollution to nano-plastic detection, so that in-situ analysis and detection cannot be performed, and the analysis result is inaccurate.

Detailed Description
In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the invention.
Example 1
Preparation of Mg 2+ -MXene aerogel:
(1) Placing a polytetrafluoroethylene bottle on a magnetic stirrer, firstly adding 20mL of concentrated HCl (9M, hydrochloric acid concentration is 36-38%), slowly adding 1.6g of LiF (lithium fluoride) at the rotation speed of 600rpm and the temperature of 40 ℃, stirring until the LiF is dissolved, and then slowly adding 1g of Ti 3AlC2 -MAX powder in batches; secondly, maintaining the temperature at 40 ℃ for etching for 24 hours; pouring the solution into a centrifuge tube, centrifugally washing the etching solution at 5000r/min, centrifuging for 1 min each time, and repeatedly centrifugally washing until the pH value is more than or equal to 6 to obtain a colloid solution of Ti 3C2 -MXene;
(2) Introducing argon into the Ti 3C2 -MXene colloid solution for protection, and performing ice bath ultrasonic dispersion for 40min; centrifuging at 10000r/min for 60min, collecting supernatant, and diluting high-concentration single-layer Ti 3C2Tx MXene dispersion to 5mg/mL to obtain single-layer Ti 3C2Tx MXene solution;
(3) The single-layer Ti 3C2Tx MXene solution is rapidly added into a glass bottle containing 20 mu L of 1mol/L MgCl 2 solution, mixed and stood for 30s, frozen overnight, and then placed in a vacuum freeze dryer for drying for 24 hours to prepare the Mg 2+ -MXene aerogel.
The resulting Mg 2+ -MXene aerogel XRD, see FIG. 1, shows that the (002) peak of MXene shifts left from 6.1 ° (original MXene nanoplatelets without Mg 2+ inserted) to 5.4 ° (Mg 2+ -MXene aerogel), corresponding to an interlayer expansion of 0.6A, approaching the size of Mg 2+ (0.7A). This suggests that Mg 2+ was successfully inserted between MXene nanoplatelets.
The SEM of the prepared Mg 2+ -MXene aerogel is shown in FIG. 2, and FIG. 2 shows that the Mg 2+ -MXene aerogel is a layered three-dimensional network structure formed by micro-mesoporous combination.
The Mg 2+ -MXene aerogel material has good conductivity, and compared with a two-dimensional material, the Mg 2+ -MXene aerogel material has a three-dimensional space network structure, so that the material has a higher specific surface area, and the specific surface area is about 51.1m 2g−1.
Example 2
Construction of a nano-plastic electrochemical sensor based on Mg 2+ -MXene aerogel:
1) Screen Printed Electrode (SPE) was ultrasonically cleaned and then activated by cyclic voltammetry in 0.5mol/L H 2SO4 solution with the following activation parameters: scanning range is 1.5-2.0V; the sweeping speed is 0.1V s -1.
2) The Mg 2+ -MXene aerogel prepared in example 1 was mixed in deionized water, stirred into a uniform suspension, 1.5Mg/mL of Mg 2+ -MXene aerogel solution was obtained, 4. Mu.L of Mg 2+ -MXene aerogel solution was added dropwise to the surface of the working electrode of the activated electrode, and the mixture was dried at room temperature, thus obtaining a nano-plastic electrochemical sensor based on the Mg 2+ -MXene aerogel, which was designated as E-Mg 2+ -MXene aerogels.
The physical diagram of the prepared nano-plastic electrochemical sensor based on the Mg 2+ -MXene aerogel is shown in fig. 3, and as can be seen from fig. 3, the electrochemical sensor prepared by the invention has good flexibility.
Exposing the prepared electrochemical sensor to nano plastic standard solutions with the concentrations of 1000, 100 and 25 mug mL -1 for 2min respectively, taking out a test SEM, and measuring the SEM to be shown in figure 4, wherein the surface of the working electrode is adsorbed with different amounts of nano plastic particles, the higher the concentration of the nano plastic standard solution is, the higher the content of the nano plastic particles on the surface of the electrode is, the nano plastic with different concentrations is strongly adsorbed on the working electrode, so that the effective reduction of the electroactive area of the working electrode can be caused, and different interface resistance values can be generated; the electrochemical sensor provided by the invention can be used for enriching the nano plastic in situ, so as to realize in-situ analysis and detection.
Different electrochemical sensors of SPE, E-MXene NSs and E-Mg 2+-MXene aerogels、E-MXene NSs-NPs、E-Mg2+ -MXene aerogels-NPs are immersed into electrolyte solution for testing Nyquist, wherein the electrolyte solution is potassium chloride solution containing 10mmol/L potassium ferrocyanide and 10mmol/L potassium ferricyanide, and the concentration of the potassium chloride is 0.1mol/L; as a result of the test, as can be seen in FIG. 5, R ct of E-Mg 2+ -MXene aerogels is much smaller than E-MXene NSs, showing that the conductivity and electrochemical activity of E-Mg 2+ -MXene aerogels are superior to E-MXene NSs, as can be seen from FIG. 5.
After addition of the nanoflastic, both E-MXene NSs and R ct of E-Mg 2+ -MXene aerogels increased significantly, with the R ct increase of E-Mg 2+ -MXene aerogels being stronger. Impedance element analysis was deduced from ZSimp Win software due to the physical absorption of the nanomaterials on the aerogel by hydrogen bonding interactions, resulting in the inherent steric hindrance associated with the absorption of the nanomaterials preventing the iron/ferricyanide ions from reaching the electrode surface or the electrostatic barrier of the electrode surface preventing electrons from transferring at the electrode surface. And thus the formation of an insulating layer, which hinders electron transfer kinetics between interfaces.
