It is of great significance for dynamic monitoring of foods in storage or during the transportation process through on-line detecting trimethylamine (TMA). Here, TMA were sensitively detected by Au-modified hierarchical porous single-crystalline ZnO nanosheets (HPSCZNs)-based sensors. The HPSCZNs were synthesized through a one-pot wet-chemical method followed by an annealing treatment. Polyethyleneimine (PEI) was used to modify the surface of the HPSCZNs, and then the PEI-modified samples were mixed with Au nanoparticles (NPs) sol solution. Electrostatic interactions drive Au nanoparticles loading onto the surface of the HPSCZNs. The Au-modified HPSCZNs were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and energy dispersive spectrum (EDS), respectively. The results show that Au-modified HPSCZNs-based sensors exhibit a high response to TMA. The linear range is from 10 to 300 ppb; while the detection limit is 10 ppb, which is the lowest value to our knowledge.
通过在线检测三甲胺(TMA)对储存或运输过程中的食品进行动态监测具有重要意义。在此,基于金修饰的分级多孔单晶氧化锌纳米片(HPSCZNs)的传感器对TMA进行了灵敏检测。HPSCZNs通过一锅湿化学法合成,随后进行退火处理。使用聚乙烯亚胺(PEI)修饰HPSCZNs的表面,然后将PEI修饰的样品与金纳米颗粒(NPs)溶胶溶液混合。静电相互作用促使金纳米颗粒负载到HPSCZNs的表面。分别通过X射线衍射(XRD)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、透射电子显微镜(TEM)和能量色散谱(EDS)对金修饰的HPSCZNs进行了表征。结果表明,基于金修饰的HPSCZNs的传感器对TMA表现出高响应。线性范围为10至300 ppb;而检测限为10 ppb,据我们所知这是最低值。
