Description

Preparation method of gold nanocluster with multiple optical signal channels
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of gold nanoclusters, in particular to a gold nanocluster with multiple optical signal channels, a preparation method of the gold nanocluster and application of the gold nanocluster in selective detection of heavy metal ions.
Background
Metal nanoclusters having luminescence properties, such as gold and silver nanoclusters, are very close in size to the fermi wavelength of electrons and thus may exhibit characteristics similar to discrete electronic states of molecules. The ultrafine gold nanoclusters are composed of several gold atoms, have phosphorescence and fluorescence properties related to the size, and due to good light stability and biocompatibility, the gold nanoclusters with the luminescence property are deeply applied to the aspects of in vivo and in vitro imaging, metal ion sensing, biosensor construction and the like in recent years. In the past decades, many methods have been developed to synthesize gold nanoclusters, for example, gold nanoclusters using polyamide dendrimers as protective agents may have various emission wavelengths from far ultraviolet to near infrared.
The chemical nose/tongue detection strategy simulates the olfactory system of mammals, and the chemical nose/tongue detection strategy is developed rapidly since the application of nano materials in the field. A chemical nasal/lingual detection sensor is generally defined as an array detection sensing system that can produce different responses to different target analytes. The existing detection strategy establishes an array detection method based on green fluorescent protein and different functionalized nano materials, and can successfully distinguish and identify different proteins. However, the ability of the array detection sensor to identify and distinguish is closely related to the number of sensing elements. Most of the reported array detection sensing strategies are based on a single signal pathway, such as a fluorescent signal. If more signal paths can be introduced, the sensing capability of the sensor should be improved.
One solution is to design a nano-channel with multiple optical signal channelsRice material. A number of nanomaterials and compounds have been developed with a variety of signals and are referred to as molecular or nano-material laboratories. Such as: carbon nitride nano material (g-C) with multiple signal channels3N4) The photoluminescence signal, rayleigh scattering signal and uv-visible signal are used to distinguish the proteins. However, these array detection strategies extract only one signal parameter from each optical signal, which increases the complexity of detection, the detection time, and wastes signal resources. Another way to enhance the detection of the array is to extract multiple valid parameters from a single signal source.
Heavy metal contamination is a very serious problem. The source range of heavy metal ions is wide, but the analysis is carried out from the actual source channel, the heavy metal ions in the water mainly come from chemical industry, printing textile, inorganic pigment and the like, and meanwhile, domestic sewage, mining wastewater and the like in cities are also contained, and when the sewage is discharged into the environment and is spread through a food chain, the influence on animals and plants is more serious. Wherein an excessively high concentration of Al3+The ions can cause damage to the immune system and the central nervous system of a human body, and cause red blood cell hypopigmentation anemia, reduction of biological enzyme activity, cell decay and the like, so that serious diseases such as Alzheimer disease, Parkinson disease, senile dementia and the like are caused: when Al is present in human brain tissue3+When the ion deposition is excessive, the damage to the brain can be caused, and the symptoms of low intelligence, memory decline, slow action and the like are presented; in addition, when the concentration of aluminum ions in human body is too high, the absorption of calcium, phosphorus and other elements and vitamin D in human body is inhibited, and joint pain and skeleton softness are seriously caused. According to the regulations of the world health organization of the United nations, the concentration of aluminum ions in drinking water must not exceed 200mg/L, and the maximum amount of aluminum ingested per week per 1Kg of human body weight must not exceed 7 mg. The cobalt compound is widely distributed in nature, generally, the cobalt content in the soil is 0.05-65.00 mg kg-1Median value of 8mg kg-1In human life activities, cobalt is an important component of vitamin B12 and participates in many biochemical reactions. However, excessive Co-uptakeThe compounds have been shown to have adverse effects on skin, lung, thyroid, etc. Studies have shown that co (ii) implanted in artificial joints in humans can transfer to the internal environment of the human body, inducing apoptosis, and thereby inhibiting T lymphocyte expansion, which researchers have observed in hip aspirates and regional lymph nodes where patients are implanted in artificial joints. The concentration of cobalt ions in domestic water is clearly regulated in many countries, for example, the maximum concentration of cobalt in domestic water supply source proposed by China is 0.02mg L-1(ii) a Chromium is a necessary trace element for the growth of human bodies, animals and plants, has an important effect on maintaining the normal functions of the human bodies, is an indispensable auxiliary component of insulin, can be absorbed by gastrointestinal digestive tracts when entering the human bodies through water and food, and has the effects of carcinogenesis, teratogenesis and mutagenesis after long-term accumulation. In organisms, copper element is a catalytic auxiliary factor of a plurality of metalloenzymes and proteins, can participate in a plurality of oxidation-reduction reactions, and has important effects on the metabolism process of organisms, such as Cu-Zn-SOD, DA-beta-hydroxylase, tyrosinase, ceruloplasmin and the like; copper can participate in iron metabolism, which is beneficial to the synthesis of hemoglobin; can affect the generation and the metastasis of the tumor and inhibit the proliferation of tumor cells; plays a fundamental role in the formation of bone, nervous system, cardiovascular and connective tissue in the field of pathophysiological studies, Zn2+Play an irreplaceable role in the catalysis and conversion processes of biological enzymes. When zinc in a human body is deficient, the zinc can cause the disturbance of the immune system of the human body, diarrhea, epilepsy and the like; if the zinc is excessively ingested, the human body can be harmed, and various diseases can be caused, such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease and the like3+,Co2+,Cr3+,Cu2+And Zn2+And (3) a detection method.
The prior art luminol modified gold nano-material (CN102191034A, CN101900723A, CN102021226A, CN104371705A and the like) has the particle size of more than or equal to 10nm, has chemiluminescence property due to the modification of the luminol, does not have fluorescence property, is applied to pesticide detection, immunoassay such as detection of antibodies, antigens or proteins and detection of nucleic acids such as DNA, RNA and aptamer molecules, and is not applied to detection of heavy metals.
In addition, in the prior art, gold nanoclusters are used for detecting heavy metals, but only one signal in fluorescence or chemiluminescence can be generally used for detecting single metal ions, and more than two different types of heavy metal ions cannot be detected simultaneously.
The chemiluminescence and fluorescence-based analysis technology has the advantages of simple instrument and device, rapid analysis, high sensitivity, wide linear range and the like, and is widely applied to the fields of clinical diagnosis, food safety, environmental monitoring and the like. In the traditional detection strategy, chemiluminescence and fluorescence spectrum also only extract a valid signal to detect the target. In fact, other effective parameters in the spectrum are ignored and not effectively utilized, such as chemiluminescence signals at different times, integrated values of the luminescence signals, and fluorescence signals at different peak positions.
There is an urgent need to develop a gold nanocluster prepared by a one-pot method and having multiple optical signal paths, wherein the gold nanocluster simultaneously has a chemiluminescent signal and a fluorescent signal so as to construct a heavy metal ion sensing detection array, and the detection array can successfully distinguish different heavy metal ions and different metal ion concentrations.

Detailed Description
Example 1 Synthesis of gold nanoclusters AuNCs with multiple optical signaling channels for chemiluminescence and fluorescence.
And (3) reagent sources: chloroauric acid, acetonitrile, heavy metal ions, and hydrogen peroxide were obtained from Shanghai reagent, luminol was obtained from TCI reagent, and 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid (MUA) was obtained from Anyiji reagent.
The AuNCs are prepared by the following steps: 0.0131g of 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid (MUA) was dissolved in 18mL of ultrapure water containing NaOH, followed by addition of 10mM of 1.5mL of chloroauric acid solution, followed by dropwise addition of NaOH solution to bring the originally turbid solution into a clear state. After the solution was stirred for 20 minutes, 0.9mL of 10mM luminol solution was added dropwise and the mixture was heated and stirred at 60 deg.C for 8 hours. Finally the excess was separated by adding acetonitrile (mixed with nanomaterial at a volume ratio of 2: 1) and centrifuging (12000 rpm). The prepared AuNCs were redispersed in water and stored at 4 degrees Celsius for use.
The characterization is shown in FIG. 1: the high-resolution transmission electron microscope shows that the 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid (MUA) is modified on the surface of AuNCs, so that the aggregation of gold nanoclusters is effectively inhibited, and the dispersibility of the AuNCs is good. The size distribution range of the gold nanoclusters is relatively small, and the size of the gold nanoclusters is 2.0 +/-0.5 nm.
Example 2 Synthesis of gold nanoclusters AuNCs with multiple optical signaling channels for chemiluminescence and fluorescence.
The AuNCs are prepared by the following steps: 0.0131g of 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid (MUA) was dissolved in 18mL of ultrapure water containing NaOH, followed by addition of 10mM of 1.5mL of chloroauric acid solution, followed by dropwise addition of NaOH solution to bring the originally turbid solution into a clear state. After the solution was stirred for 20 minutes, 0.9mL of 10mM luminol solution was added dropwise and the mixture was heated and stirred at 100 deg.C for 5.5 hours. Finally the excess was separated by adding acetonitrile (mixed with nanomaterial at a volume ratio of 2: 1) and centrifuging (12000 rpm). The prepared AuNCs were redispersed in water and stored at 4 degrees Celsius for use.

The AuNCs are prepared by the following steps: 0.0131g of 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid (MUA) was dissolved in 18mL of ultrapure water containing NaOH, followed by addition of 10mM of 1.5mL of chloroauric acid solution, followed by dropwise addition of NaOH solution to bring the originally turbid solution into a clear state. After the solution was stirred for 20 minutes, 0.9mL of 10mM luminol solution was added dropwise and the mixture was heated and stirred at 80 deg.C for 24 hours. Finally the excess was separated by adding acetonitrile (mixed with nanomaterial at a volume ratio of 2: 1) and centrifuging (12000 rpm). The prepared AuNCs were redispersed in water and stored at 4 degrees Celsius for use.
The invention makes X-ray photoelectron spectrum to research the valence state of gold atom in the functional gold nanocluster. FIG. 2 shows an X-ray photoelectron spectrum of functionalized Au 4f of gold nanocluster7/2The binding energy was 84.3eV, which is between the binding energy of 84.0eV for Au (0) and 85.1eV for Au (i), indicating that Au (0) and Au (i) coexist in the functionalized gold nanoclusters. Au 4f7/2And Au 4f5/2The difference of the spin-orbit splitting energy level of the compound is 3.7eV, which is completely consistent with the report of the prior literature. Because the surface of the gold cluster is functionalized with the undecamcapto undecanoic acid and the luminol, the energy level peak of C1s can be seen to be split into four peaks of C1, C2, C3 and C4, which respectively correspond to-CH-, -C-NH-, -CO-NH-and-COO-groups, and the peak of C1 is particularly obvious due to the existence of the undecamcapto undecanoic acid. The 1s peak of N is divided into two portions, 400.0eV and 400.8eV respectively, corresponding to the-N-C-and-N-CO-groups of luminol respectively.
To investigate the chemiluminescent performance of the AuNCs prepared, we will use 150mL of 5mM H2O2Solution (c)NaOH0.1M) was injected into 150mL of the prepared AuNCs solution, and a chemiluminescent signal was measured by an RFL-1 type photometer. Under the same detection condition, the chemiluminescence properties of the luminol functionalized gold nano-material and the mixture of the gold nanocluster and the luminol solution are detected, and are compared with the chemiluminescence dynamics curve of AuNCs, and the result shows that the chemiluminescence properties of AuNCs are optimal, which is probably the synergistic catalytic effect of MUA and the gold nanocluster on a luminol hydrogen peroxide chemiluminescence system. In previous work, it has been demonstrated that the enhanced and catalytic mechanism of chemiluminescence is associated with the production of oxygen radicals (including OH)·,O2 ·-And other derivatives of radicalsBiological), gold nanomaterials can promote the generation of electron transfer radicals during chemical reactions. Thus, under the catalytic action of gold nanoclusters, H2O2Can be cleaved into two OH radicals which can react with HO2-The luminol anion, thereby promoting O2 ·-And the formation of MS-AuNCs functionalized luminol free radicals, thereby accelerating the chemiluminescent reaction. In addition, early studies have shown that carboxyl group-containing substances such as amino acids and phenolic compounds can enhance luminol-H2O2-Co2+The chemiluminescence intensity of the system. Thus, the enhancement of chemiluminescence may be attributed to the carboxyl groups and O on the MUA molecule2 ·-By reaction of formed-CO4 ·2-Related, to-CO4 ·2-Can react with the luminol to promote the generation of luminol free radicals, thereby enhancing the chemiluminescence intensity. Therefore, the good chemiluminescence of AuNCs and hydrogen peroxide systems can be attributed to the promotion of HO during chemical reaction by MUA and gold nanoclusters·,O2·-and-CO4 ·2-And the gold nanoclusters, as a nano-sized reaction platform, can also promote the generation of radicals for a chemiluminescent reaction, thereby obtaining strong chemiluminescence.
Example 4.
In order to obtain the best chemiluminescence effect, the preparation conditions are optimized, as shown in fig. 4A, the chemiluminescence performance of AuNCs begins to increase along with the increase of the reaction time and the reaction temperature, and the best chemiluminescence effect is obtained at the reaction temperature of 60 ℃ and the reaction time of 8 h.

Test conditions for fluorescence:
the fluorescence signal was detected on an F-7000 type fluorescence detector (Xe lamp 150W, Hitachi, light source) with an excitation wavelength of 290nm, by mixing gold nanoclusters and different heavy metal ions at respective concentrations in a volume ratio of 9: 1, incubating at room temperature for 10 minutes, injecting 150. mu.L of the above mixture into a quartz fluorescence detection cell, and recording the fluorescence signal.
We also optimized the chemiluminescent reaction conditions, as shown in FIGS. 4B and 4C, with the intensity of chemiluminescence being dependent on H2O2The NaOH concentration of the solution increased significantly, and when the NaOH concentration was 0.1M, the best chemiluminescence was obtained, after which continued increase of the NaOH concentration resulted in a decrease in the chemiluminescence intensity, probably due to the initial increase in pH promoting H2O2When the NaOH concentration exceeds 0.1M, the blocking agent MUA starts to fall off from the AuNCs surface, leading to aggregation of AuNCs, resulting in a decrease in the chemiluminescence intensity. When H is present2O2The increase in concentration from 0.5mM to 5mM resulted in a significant increase in chemiluminescence intensity, after which continued increase resulted in a decrease in chemiluminescence intensity. Thus, the optimal chemiluminescent reaction condition is 5mM H2O2(0.1M,NaOH)。
The fluorescence properties of AuNCs are shown in FIG. 5, and the orange fluorescence of AuNCs solution is visible to the naked eye (corresponding to an emission peak at 598 nm). The emission peak at 424nm corresponds to the AuNCs surface-modified luminol. As the excitation peak increases from 270nm to 350nm, the emission peak position of AuNCs hardly shifts, which is likely because the synthesized AuNCs is a single species and thus the excitation spectrum and the emission spectrum are both fixed. The fluorescence intensity at 598nm reaches a maximum when the excitation wavelength is 290 nm.
Example 5 Selective Distinguishing detection of heavy Metal ions
The detection method comprises the following steps: in order to explore the application of the AuNCs material in the aspect of heavy metal ion detection arrays,we investigated the effect of different heavy metal ions on the chemiluminescent and fluorescent signals of AuNCs. Detection of Fe3+、Sn2+、Ni2+、Mn2+、Ag+、Fe2+、Al3+,Co2+,Cr3+,Cu2+,Hg2+,Pb2+And Zn2+And 7 heavy metal ions with relatively strong chemiluminescence signals and fluorescence signals are preliminarily screened from the heavy metal ions as detection targets (namely Fe)3+、Sn2+、Ni2+、Mn2+、Ag+、Fe2+Weak signal) including Al3 +,Co2+,Cr3+,Cu2+,Hg2+,Pb2+And Zn2+And screening again to find Al3+,Co2+,Cr3+,Cu2+And Zn2+Can be mixed with Hg2+,Pb2+And (4) directly distinguishing. To fully utilize the optical signal channel of AuNCs, we extracted 5 effective parameters from the chemiluminescence spectrum and the fluorescence spectrum, and we studied the effects of heavy metal ions on the cumulative intensity of chemiluminescence 60s, peak intensity, intensity at 60s, intensity of fluorescence at 598nm, and intensity value of fluorescence at 424 nm. After adding different heavy metal ions to AuNCs respectively, AuNCs produce different signal changes under the influence of the heavy metal ions, as shown in FIG. 6. Therefore, the five parameters of the cumulative intensity of chemiluminescence 60s, the peak intensity, the intensity at 60s, the intensity of fluorescence at 598nm and the intensity value of fluorescence at 424nm are used for establishing a heavy metal ion sensing detection array.
The detection results are shown in fig. 7: principal component analysis is a means of processing complex, high-dimensional data, and can simplify data while preserving data trend characteristics. Therefore, it is an effective tool for processing experimental data, and can be used to process the signal response data generated by heavy metal ions to AuNCs, including the cumulative intensity of chemiluminescence 60s, peak intensity, intensity at 60s, intensity of fluorescence at 598nm, and intensity value of fluorescence at 424 nm. Each heavy metal ion was measured three times to obtain five characteristic signals of chemiluminescence and fluorescence of AuNCs, and then principal component analysis was performed on the data. The first three main classified data obtained by analysis are used for establishing a three-dimensional data chart, each point represents the response result of the heavy metal ion sample to the detection array, and the result shows that the detection array can successfully distinguish different heavy metal ions.
We also investigated the discrimination of heavy metal ions at different concentrations. It was found that 7 heavy metal ions were well differentiated in the detection sensor array at two different concentrations (1. mu.g/mL and 0.5. mu.g/mL). The results are shown in FIG. 8, from which FIG. 8 we can distinguish Al at the same time3+,Co2+,Cr3+,Cu2+And Zn2+And the respective concentrations thereof were determined.
In the invention, a mild one-pot method is provided for preparing AuNCs with the size of 2.0 +/-0.5 nm. The synthesized AuNCs have excellent chemiluminescence and fluorescence properties, and based on chemiluminescence and fluorescence signals of AuNCs materials, a detection array sensing method capable of distinguishing different heavy metal ions and different concentrations of heavy metal ions is established. The work synthesizes a multi-signal functionalized gold nanocluster for the first time, and the multi-signal functionalized gold nanocluster has potential application prospects in the fields of biological analysis and biological imaging.
