Detailed Description
The invention is described in further detail below with reference to the drawings and examples. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not limiting thereof. It should be further noted that, for convenience of description, only some, but not all of the structures related to the present invention are shown in the drawings.
The invention relates to a method for separating nano particles with different densities by using a stepped or continuous density gradient liquid according to different sedimentation rates, which is characterized in that the density distribution of the nano material is treated by using the principle of a density gradient sedimentation method, and the layering of the nano material in different density gradients can be realized by using the method. The density gradient sedimentation method is a special density gradient centrifugal separation technology and has the advantages of simple and convenient operation and the like.
After layering the nano material by using a density gradient sedimentation method, the physicochemical properties of the nano material are analyzed by using an optical detection technology. Specifically, the optical measurement technology for measuring the nano material with the density gradient separation realized and determining the density distribution of the nano material by analyzing the gray scale of an image based on an optical imaging method.
Based on the principle, the embodiment of the invention provides a method for detecting the density distribution state of a nano material.
Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a method for detecting a density distribution state of a nanomaterial according to an embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, referring to fig. 1, the detection method includes:
step 10, providing a detection container.
Specifically, the detection container is used for containing a density gradient solution and nano materials to be detected dispersed in the density gradient solution.
Step 20, injecting a density gradient solution into a detection container; the density gradient solution comprises a plurality of density gradient solution layers which are stacked, and the solutes of each density gradient solution layer are the same; the solute concentration of each density gradient solution layer increases in sequence along the direction from the free liquid surface of the density gradient solution to the bottom surface of the detection container.
Specifically, the plurality of density gradient solution layers in the density gradient solution have the same solute but different concentrations of the solute, thereby forming a concentration gradient, and when the nanomaterial to be detected is placed in the density gradient solution, the nanomaterial to be detected having different densities can be distributed in the different density gradient solution layers. In addition, if necessary, the uppermost density gradient solution layer in the density gradient solution may be pure water, that is, the density gradient solution layer forming the free liquid surface may not contain a solute. Generally, the density of the solute is often greater than that of pure water, and the density of the solution containing the solute is also greater than that of pure water, so that the density range of the density gradient solution can be wider by arranging a density gradient solution layer which does not contain the solute, and the density gradient solution can detect more nano materials to be detected with different densities.
Step 30, dispersing the nano material to be detected in a density gradient solution; the density of the greatest part of the density in the nano material to be detected is ρ1, the density of the density gradient solution layer with the greatest solute concentration in the density gradient solution is ρ2, and the density of the density gradient solution layer with the smallest solute concentration in the density gradient solution is ρ3, wherein ρ3 < ρ1 < ρ2.
Specifically, when the nano material to be detected is dispersed in the density gradient solution, the nano material to be detected can be placed on a free liquid surface; since the plurality of density gradient solution layers in the density gradient solution can be quickly mixed into a single solution with uniform density when the plurality of density gradient solution layers are subjected to severe vibration, the standard of light placement is that the plurality of density gradient solution layers are prevented from being mixed due to vibration when the nano material to be detected is placed. It should be understood that in the experiment, the lighter the operation when placing the nanomaterial to be detected, the less the influence is exerted on the plurality of density gradient solution layers, the more the plurality of density gradient solution layers can be maintained in a layered state for a relatively long time.
The embodiment adopts the principle of gravity to enable the nano material to be detected to settle and separate; in a general state, the same nanomaterial comprises a plurality of components with different densities, the sedimentation rates of the components with different densities in the density gradient solution are different, if the density of the detected nanomaterial is higher, the sedimentation rate in the density gradient solution is higher, and finally the position in the density gradient solution is relatively closer to the bottom of the detection container. Since it is impossible for the nanomaterial to be detected to reach into the layer of the density gradient solution having a density greater than that of the nanomaterial, the nanomaterial to be detected eventually stops at the upper layer of the density gradient solution having a slightly greater density than that of the nanomaterial. And after a period of time, the nanomaterial to be detected of each density settles and stabilizes in a specific density gradient solution layer. If the density of a large amount of nano materials to be detected is larger than that of the density gradient solution layer with the largest solute concentration in the density gradient solution, a large amount of nano materials to be detected are deposited in the density gradient solution layer with the largest solute concentration, so that accurate detection results are difficult to obtain. Therefore, in order to ensure that a certain amount of nano-material to be detected exists in each layer of the density gradient solution layer, the density of the density gradient solution layer with the smallest solute concentration in the density gradient solution can be close to but slightly smaller than the component with the smallest density in the nano-material to be detected, and meanwhile, the density of the density gradient solution layer with the smallest solute concentration in the density gradient solution layer is close to but slightly larger than the component with the largest density in the nano-material to be detected. Before detection, the density distribution of the nano material to be detected can be estimated by a method of estimation judgment, so that the density of each layer of density gradient solution layer in the density gradient solution is determined.
And step 40, irradiating the density gradient solution dispersed with the nano material to be detected by using a detection light beam, and carrying out first image acquisition on the whole formed by the detection container and the density gradient solution dispersed with the nano material to be detected to obtain a first image acquisition result M1.
Specifically, since the nanomaterial to be detected interacts with light, such as light absorption, the more nanomaterial to be detected in the density gradient solution layer, the stronger the nanomaterial to be detected absorbs light, and the less light passes through the density gradient solution layer. In order to obtain the distribution of the band-detected nanomaterial in each density gradient solution layer, a first image acquisition result M1 may be obtained from the acquired first image acquisition.
And 50, obtaining the density distribution state of the nano material to be detected according to the first image acquisition result.
Specifically, according to the first image acquisition result, the light intensity of each layer of density gradient solution layer can be obtained, so that the quantity of the nano material to be detected in each layer of density gradient solution layer can be further determined, and the density distribution of the nano material to be detected can be further determined.
According to the method for detecting the density distribution state of the nano material, the nano material to be detected is separated by utilizing the density gradient solution, and the detection light beam is adopted to irradiate the whole formed by the detection container and the density gradient solution in which the nano material to be detected is dispersed, so that the first image acquisition result is acquired and obtained, the density distribution state of the nano material to be detected is obtained according to the first image acquisition result, the operation is simple and convenient when the density distribution of the nano material to be detected is obtained, the detection result is accurate, and the method can be applied to commercial detection application in a large scale.
Optionally, the step of irradiating the density gradient solution in which the nanomaterial to be detected is dispersed with the detection beam, performing first image acquisition on the whole formed by the detection container and the density gradient solution in which the nanomaterial to be detected is dispersed, and obtaining a first image acquisition result M1 is performed in a darkroom.
Specifically, since only the detection light beam exists in the darkroom, the interference of other light sources on the detection result can be avoided to the greatest extent. The camera is understood to be a camera in which no other light beam is present than the detection beam. In addition, when the density gradient solution in which the nanomaterial to be detected is dispersed is irradiated with the detection beam, the propagation direction of the detection beam may be made parallel to the free liquid surface of the density gradient solution, and in order to realize detection of the nanomaterial to be detected in each layer of the density gradient solution layer, the detection beam may be made capable of being irradiated to each layer of the detection solution layer.
Fig. 2 is a flowchart of another method for detecting a density distribution state of a nanomaterial according to an embodiment of the present invention. Optionally, referring to fig. 2, step 50, obtaining a density distribution state of the nanomaterial to be detected according to the first image acquisition result, including;
and 51, removing noise information in the first image acquisition result to obtain a first image processing result.
And step 52, obtaining the density distribution state of the nano material to be detected based on the first image processing result.
Specifically, in the first image acquisition result, certain noise information is often still present, so in order to obtain a more accurate detection result, the noise information in the first image acquisition result can be removed, a first image processing result is obtained, and according to the first image processing result, a more accurate density distribution state of the nano material to be detected is obtained.
Fig. 3 is a flowchart of detecting a noise signal according to an embodiment of the present invention. Optionally, referring to fig. 3, before dispersing the nanomaterial to be detected in the density gradient solution in step 30, the method includes:
step 31, under the condition of no illumination, the whole formed by the detection container and the density gradient solution is subjected to secondary image acquisition, and obtaining a second image acquisition result M2.
Specifically, the camera may be used for image acquisition, and due to the limitation of the current camera technology level, when the camera acquires an image, the camera itself often has a certain dark current, which has a certain interference on the final detection result, so that the interference signal generated by the camera itself can be detected under the condition of no illumination in the darkroom, and when the noise signal is removed, the signal can be removed.
And step 32, irradiating the density gradient solution by using the detection light beam, and carrying out third image acquisition on the whole formed by the detection container and the density gradient solution to obtain a third image acquisition result M3.
Specifically, since the detection vessel and the density gradient solution also interact with the detection beam to some extent, interference due to the detection vessel and the density gradient solution can be removed when the noise signal is removed.
Optionally, in step 51, removing noise information in the first image acquisition result to obtain a first image processing result, including: according to m4=m1- (M3-M2) -M2, M4 is taken as the first image processing result.
It should be noted that, since the camera acquires image information under various conditions such as light and no light, there are interference signals due to the camera itself, the third image acquisition result M3 actually includes two main interference signals, one from the camera itself and the other from the detection container and the density gradient solution. M3-M2 in the above formula represents the interference signal simply caused by the detection vessel and the density gradient solution.
Fig. 4 is a flowchart of a method for detecting a density distribution state of a nanomaterial according to an embodiment of the present invention. Optionally, referring to fig. 4, step 52, based on the result of the first image processing, obtaining the density distribution state of the nanomaterial to be detected includes:
step 521, extracting region image information corresponding to each density gradient solution layer from the first image processing result.
Specifically, when the detection light beam penetrates through each layer of the density gradient solution in a direction parallel to the free liquid surface, since there is also a certain difference in the amount of the nanomaterial to be detected in each layer of the density gradient solution layer, the detection result corresponding to each layer of the density gradient solution layer will also be different in the first image processing result, and therefore, the region image information corresponding to each layer of the density gradient solution layer can be extracted first before determining the density distribution of the nanomaterial to be detected.
And 522, obtaining the change relation of the gray value along with the concentration of the density gradient solution layer according to the region image information corresponding to the density gradient solution.
Specifically, in a general state, in order to improve the accuracy of detection, a density gradient solution and a detection container which absorb light poorly are generally used; since the absorption of light by the density gradient solution is very weak, the difference in absorbance of the density gradient solution layers of different solute concentrations is substantially negligible. Since the density, the number and the like of the nano materials to be detected in each layer of the density gradient solution layer are different, the same detection light beam has different light intensity after penetrating the density gradient solution layer containing the nano materials to be detected with different concentrations and densities, and the light intensity is reflected in the first image processing result, the gray values corresponding to the different density gradient solution layers are different, and therefore, the difference of the gray values can be utilized to reflect the difference of the densities and the concentrations of the nano materials to be detected in the different density gradient solution layers.
Step 523, obtaining the change relation of absorbance along with the density gradient solution layer concentration based on the change relation of the gray value along with the density gradient solution layer concentration.
Specifically, since the absorption of the nanomaterial to be detected to light is caused by different gray values, the change relation of absorbance with the density gradient solution layer concentration can be judged according to the change relation of the gray values with the density gradient solution layer concentration.
And step 524, obtaining the density distribution state of the nano material to be detected based on the change relation of the absorbance along with the density gradient solution layer concentration.
Specifically, when the density gradient solution layer contains the nanomaterial to be detected, the density gradient solution layer mainly depends on the amount of light absorption of the nanomaterial to be detected in the density gradient solution layer, so that the density distribution state of the nanomaterial to be detected can be obtained based on the change relation of absorbance with the concentration of the density gradient solution layer.
Optionally, irradiating a density gradient solution in which a nanomaterial to be detected is dispersed with a detection beam, and performing a first image acquisition on an entire body formed by a detection container and the density gradient solution in which the nanomaterial to be detected is dispersed, to obtain a first image acquisition result M1, including: the method comprises the steps of irradiating a density gradient solution in which nano materials to be detected are dispersed by using a detection light beam, and carrying out first image acquisition on the whole formed by a detection container and the density gradient solution in which the nano materials to be detected are dispersed by using a continuous shooting method to obtain a first image acquisition result M1.
Specifically, taking a two-dimensional nanomaterial to be detected as an example, which is generally a sheet-like structure, the relationship between the two-dimensional nanomaterial to be detected and the detection beam may be different at different times under the influence of molecular motion in the density gradient solution. For example, at some point, there may be a majority of two-dimensional planes of the nanomaterial to be detected that are parallel to the detection beam, at which time a majority of the detection beam is transmitted through the density gradient solution, but at other points, there may also be a majority of two-dimensional planes of the nanomaterial to be detected that are perpendicular to the detection beam, at which time a majority of the detection beam is not transmitted through the density gradient solution. In order to avoid such a phenomenon, a method of continuous shooting may be adopted, and by processing and averaging a plurality of shooting results, interference to the detection result due to accidental factors may be avoided.
Alternatively, the detection vessel is a transparent centrifuge tube or cuvette.
Specifically, the centrifuge tube and the cuvette have the advantages of transparency, thinness, low cost and the like, and are excellent detection containers. Furthermore, it should be understood that the test receptacles herein include, but are not limited to, the centrifuge tubes and cuvettes described above.
Alternatively, the material of the detection vessel comprises quartz, polystyrene, polymethyl methacrylate or optical glass.
In the case of the detection container, it should be ensured that the interaction between the detection container and the light is relatively weak, and the selection of the material of the detection container is not particularly limited in this embodiment when this condition is satisfied.
Alternatively, the solute of the density gradient solution is cesium chloride or cesium fluoride.
Specifically, in order to obtain accurate and reliable detection results, solutes with weak light absorption can be selected to be prepared into a density gradient solution. In a general state, cesium chloride and cesium fluoride solutions have weak absorption effect on visible light, thus ensuring that the detection light beams can pass through. The cesium chloride and cesium fluoride have relatively high solubility in water, and can be arranged as a density gradient solution layer having a plurality of concentration gradients. For example, at 291.15K, cesium fluoride can reach 367g in water solubility, and cesium fluoride can be used as a medium for preparing density gradients, can be prepared in a wider density range than other solutes, and is suitable for forming suspension dispersion systems in solutions of more inorganic nano materials. In addition, cesium fluoride aqueous solutions are stable and inactive for most inorganic materials. The solubility of cesium fluoride in methanol is also high and reaches 191g at 288.15K. It should be understood that other solute configuration density gradient solutions may be selected in a state where the effect with light is weak, solubility is large, and the aqueous solution is stable, and the like, which is not particularly limited in this embodiment.
Optionally, the detection beam is generated by a laser generator.
Optionally, the laser generator can generate laser beams, and the laser beams have the advantages of high brightness, high directivity, high monochromaticity, high coherence and the like, and can be widely applied to the detection of nano materials. In addition, if the nanomaterial to be detected is graphene, cesium fluoride can be selected as a solute of the density gradient solution, and visible light with a wavelength of 633nm can be selected as a detection beam, so that absorption of the nanomaterial to be detected to the detection beam is reduced to the greatest extent.
For example, to help the reader understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present embodiment further provides a method for detecting graphene nanomaterial by using a laser beam with a wavelength of 633nm and cesium fluoride solution, where the detection method is described in detail below:
first, a basic model is established, specifically as follows:
the cesium fluoride aqueous solutions with different mass fractions are prepared for standby as density gradient solutions, and the density gradient can be ranging from 1.00g/ml to 2.70g/ml by adjusting the mass fraction (cesium fluoride concentration) by using the cesium fluoride aqueous solution. In the cuvette, gradient liquids with different densities are sequentially prepared into gradient (i.e. discontinuous) density gradient liquids from bottom to top according to the density from large to small by adopting an upper paving method. After the density gradient solution is formed, the graphene to be detected may be placed in a cuvette. Fig. 5 is a physical diagram of a cesium fluoride solution and a detection container when the sedimentation balance is not reached immediately after graphene is put in the cesium fluoride solution and the detection container provided by the embodiment of the invention, and fig. 6 is a physical diagram of a cesium fluoride solution and a detection container containing graphene after sedimentation balance provided by the embodiment of the invention. It should be noted that the sedimentation balance is understood to be that, after graphene is deposited in cesium fluoride solution for a period of time, different densities of graphene are distributed in cesium fluoride solution layers of corresponding concentrations, and at this time, the cesium fluoride solution containing graphene is in a relatively stable state.
After the nano material reaches sedimentation equilibrium in a certain layer of density gradient liquid, a stable and uniform state can be formed. Irrespective of scattering of the material, the luminous flux Φ transmitted through the cuvette t =Φ 0a Wherein Φ is 0 For the luminous flux of the detection beam before incidence on the cuvette, phi a Is the light flux absorbed by the graphene nanomaterial. The light transmittance of the detection beam through the sample isIt follows that the light flux through the cuvette is related to the light absorption capacity of the material.
According to the lambert beer law,wherein A is i Represents the absorbance epsilon of graphene in the i-th layer gradient liquid i Represents the light absorption coefficient of the graphene, c i And (3) representing the concentration of graphene in the i-th layer gradient liquid, wherein the subscript i is a positive integer.
After the detection light beam is collected by a camera and transmitted through cesium fluoride solution containing graphene, gray level images of graphene, gray of which can be obtained by software such as ImageJ and the likeMetric value the method meets the following conditions:wherein I represents a current obtained by photoelectric conversion, I m Current, P, at light saturation of photosensitive element 0 The light power irradiated to the photosensitive element when the photosensitive element is saturated; sign []As a rounding function, e.g. [3.5 ]]=3; 256 is related to the length of the data storage byte, and in a general state, the gray value can be in the range of 0-255 for 256 total.
It is possible to arrange the above formula in order,combined formula (I)>The method can obtain the following steps: a=lg256-lgY. Then, a change curve of the material concentration-Distance (c-Distance) can be obtained from a=k·α·c and a=lg 256-lgY, and we use a density gradient liquid, i.e. the same gradient, and the material concentration is uniform within a certain Distance, so that the distribution of the material content over the vertical Distance, i.e. the density gradient distribution of the material, is obtained.
It should be noted that the maximum value of the material concentration for effective measurement of the gray valueI.e. response current +.>When I takes 0, the above formula has no practical meaning, and therefore, an appropriate method can be selected to solve this problem.
Further, in consideration of the error influence of the optical train and the photoelectric signal conversion transmission, a correction term as shown below is introduced: a=k (α·c+b); wherein A represents absorbance obtained based on gray value, namely OD value; k represents a proportionality coefficient; alpha represents the absorbance coefficient of graphene; c represents the gradient of cesium fluoride solution; and B, error correction term.
Thus far, the basic model is established, and an image processing and analysis method will be discussed below.
Analysis and data processing.
Taking the average of the continuous shooting of images, i.e. the statistical average of absorbance based on gray values, then
Wherein,the statistical average of the OD values of n times of continuous shooting of images of the density gradient liquid without a sample and with the sample is adopted, and the value of n can be 20-30 times.
In the image information processing stage, optical information integration is carried out on each continuous shooting image through corresponding software, and the integrated density gradient liquid image information without sample is called M 0 The density gradient liquid image information of the sample is called M 1 The final image information is called M'. According to M' =M 1 -M 0 And performing image information processing to obtain a final image information result.
Formula M' =m 1 -M 0 Is embodied as
That is, the absorbance of the gray-scale image after the background is deducted and the statistical average is performed; the physical meaning of A is the statistical average of the light absorption of the material, which is reflected by taking average by continuous shooting to eliminate the possible flash phenomenon of the nano material.
