A convenient and environment-friendly method is reported to synthesize the reduced graphene oxide (rGO) sheets in aqueous solution using folic acid (FA) as both a reducing and stabilizing agent, to improve the performance of graphene-based sensing strategy. The as-prepared FA-rGO sheets were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), which provided the clear identification of the removal of oxygen-containing functional groups from the graphene oxide (GO) to form FA-rGO sheets. Further, it was found that the obtained FA-rGO sheets exhibited better biocompatibility and could act as the more efficient energy acceptor in long range resonance energy transfer (LrRET) process than that of graphene. Additionally, the FA-rGO can also catalyze the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) by H2O2, and compared with GO sheets, they exhibited the more prominent intrinsic peroxidase-like activity, thus providing the more sensitive approach for colorimetric detection of H2O2.
据报道,一种便捷且环保的方法是在水溶液中使用叶酸(FA)作为还原和稳定剂来合成还原氧化石墨烯(rGO)片,以提高基于石墨烯的传感策略的性能。通过透射电子显微镜(TEM)、紫外可见吸收光谱、傅里叶变换红外(FT-IR)光谱、拉曼光谱、X射线衍射(XRD)和热重分析(TGA)对所制备的FA-rGO片进行了表征,这些表征明确证实了从氧化石墨烯(GO)中去除含氧官能团从而形成FA-rGO片。此外,发现所获得的FA-rGO片表现出更好的生物相容性,并且在长程共振能量转移(LrRET)过程中比石墨烯更能作为高效的能量受体。另外,FA-rGO还可以催化H2O2对3,3',5,5'-四甲基联苯胺(TMB)的氧化,并且与GO片相比,它们表现出更显著的内在过氧化物酶样活性,从而为H2O2的比色检测提供了更灵敏的方法。
