An electrochemical sensor incorporating a signal enhancement for the determination of lead (II) ions (Pb) was designed on the basis of the thrombin-binding aptamer (TBA) as a molecular recognition element and ionic liquid supported cerium oxide (CeO) nanoparticles-carbon nanotubes composite modification. The composite comprises nanoparticles CeO, multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) and hydrophobic room temperature ionic liquid (RTIL) 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (EMIMBF). The electrochemical sensors were fabricated by immersing the CeO-MWNTs-EMIMBF modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) into the solution of TBA probe. In the presence of Pb, the TBA probe could form stable G-quartet structure by the specific binding interactions between Pb and TBA. The TBA-bound Pb can be electrochemically reduced, which provides a readout signal for quantitative detection of Pb. The reduction peak current is linearly related to the concentration of Pb from 1.0×10 M to 1.0×10 M with a detection limit of 5×10 M. This work demonstrates that the CeO-MWNTs-EMIMBF nanocomposite modified GCE provides a promising platform for immobilizing the TBA probe and enhancing the sensitivity of the DNA-based sensors.
基于凝血酶结合适体(TBA)作为分子识别元件以及离子液体负载的氧化铈(CeO)纳米颗粒 - 碳纳米管复合材料修饰,设计了一种用于测定铅(II)离子(Pb)并具有信号增强功能的电化学传感器。该复合材料由纳米颗粒CeO、多壁碳纳米管(MWNTs)和疏水性室温离子液体(RTIL)1 - 乙基 - 3 - 甲基咪唑四氟硼酸盐(EMIMBF)组成。通过将CeO - MWNTs - EMIMBF修饰的玻碳电极(GCE)浸入TBA探针溶液中来制备电化学传感器。在Pb存在的情况下,TBA探针可通过Pb与TBA之间的特异性结合相互作用形成稳定的G - 四联体结构。结合了Pb的TBA可以被电化学还原,这为Pb的定量检测提供了读出信号。还原峰电流与Pb浓度在1.0×10⁻⁹ M至1.0×10⁻⁷ M之间呈线性关系,检测限为5×10⁻¹⁰ M。这项工作表明,CeO - MWNTs - EMIMBF纳米复合材料修饰的GCE为固定TBA探针和提高基于DNA的传感器的灵敏度提供了一个有前景的平台。
