Nanomaterials play an important role in the fields of electrocatalysis and electrochemical immunosensor. As we all know, electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) can generate intensive current response under alkaline and even neutral conditions, and no by-products are produced. In recent years, OER based on non-noble metal nanocatalysts has become a research focus in the field of new energy, but there are few reports on using it as an electrocatalytic immunosensor label for biomolecule detection. In this study, we successfully synthesized CoFe-(oxy)hydroxide nanosheets through transforming CoFe prussian blue analogue (CoFe PBA). Based on the excellent OER activity of CoFe-(oxy)hydroxide in neutral solution, it was used as a new electrocatalytic marker for capturing procalcitonin (PCT) secondary antibody (Ab). Meanwhile, gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was utilized as immunosensor platform to immobilize PCT primary antibodies (Ab). The linear range of the immunosensor for PCT detection is 0.0005 ∼ 100 ng mL, and the detection limit is 0.33 pg mL. Furthermore, a high recovery was obtained when this proposed method was applied to analysis human serum samples. This work not only provides a new method for clinical analysis of PCT, but also extends the application of electrocatalytic OER.
纳米材料在电催化和电化学免疫传感器领域发挥着重要作用。众所周知,电催化氧气析出反应(OER)在碱性甚至中性条件下能产生强烈的电流响应,且不产生副产物。近年来,基于非贵金属纳米催化剂的 OER 已成为新能源领域的研究热点,但将其作为生物分子检测的电化学免疫传感器标记物的报道较少。在本研究中,我们成功地通过转化钴铁普鲁士蓝类似物(CoFe PBA)合成了 CoFe-(氧)氢氧化物纳米片。基于 CoFe-(氧)氢氧化物在中性溶液中优异的 OER 活性,它被用作捕获降钙素原(PCT)二级抗体(Ab)的新型电催化标记物。同时,金纳米粒子(Au NPs)修饰的玻碳电极(GCE)被用作免疫传感器平台来固定 PCT 一级抗体(Ab)。该免疫传感器用于 PCT 检测的线性范围为 0.0005~100ngmL,检测限为 0.33pgmL。此外,当该方法应用于分析人血清样品时,得到了较高的回收率。这项工作不仅为 PCT 的临床分析提供了一种新方法,还扩展了电催化 OER 的应用。
