In this work, uniformly-dispersed platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) were synthesized by a simple chemical reduction method, in which citric acid and sodium borohydride acted as a stabilizer and reducer, respectively. An ultrasensitive colorimetric sensor for the facile and rapid detection of Ag⁺ ions was constructed based on the peroxidase mimetic activities of the obtained PtNPs, which can catalyze the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) by H₂O₂ to produce colored products. The introduced Ag⁺ would be reduced to Ag⁰ by the capped citric acid, and the deposition of Ag⁰ on the PtNPs surface, can effectively inhibit the peroxidase-mimetic activity of PtNPs. Through measuring the maximum absorption signal of oxidized TMB at 652 nm, ultra-low detection limits (7.8 pM) of Ag⁺ can be reached. In addition to such high sensitivity, the colorimetric assay also displays excellent selectivity for other ions of interest and shows great potential for the detection of Ag⁺ in real water samples.
在本工作中,通过简单的化学还原法合成了均匀分散的铂纳米颗粒(PtNPs),其中柠檬酸和硼氢化钠分别作为稳定剂和还原剂。基于所制备的PtNPs的过氧化物酶模拟活性构建了一种用于简便快速检测Ag⁺离子的超灵敏比色传感器,该传感器可催化H₂O₂氧化3,3',5,5'-四甲基联苯胺(TMB)生成有色产物。引入的Ag⁺会被封端的柠檬酸还原为Ag⁰,并且Ag⁰在PtNPs表面的沉积能够有效抑制PtNPs的过氧化物酶模拟活性。通过测量氧化态TMB在652 nm处的最大吸收信号,可实现Ag⁺的超低检测限(7.8 pM)。除了具有如此高的灵敏度外,该比色测定法对其他感兴趣的离子还表现出优异的选择性,并且在实际水样中检测Ag⁺方面显示出巨大潜力。
