The problem of environmental water resource safety has become a public health problem concerned all over the world, the problem that in recent years, various heavy metal ions represented by lead, arsenic, mercury, copper, manganese and the like are used as harmful pollutants in water is gradually intensified, the heavy metal ions are used as the environmental pollutants, are widely derived from waste water and waste gas generated in various industrial production, pesticide pesticides and the like used in agricultural production, various domestic garbage (batteries and discarded electrical appliances), enter human bodies through various channels such as drinking water, food intake and the like, and cause secretion functional disorder in the bodies, metabolic diseases and even cancers are caused, and the health of human beings is seriously damaged. Heavy metal particle pollutants are various in types and small in molecular weight, exist in trace and trace forms in water, and are effectively detected and quantified by the existing fresh and specific detection and quantification technology.
The interdigital array sensor is used as a good ion sensor and has good detection and quantification prospects for various heavy metal ions in an environmental water sample. Through the improvement of the manufacturing process of the interdigital and the materials of each bonding layer and each sensing layer, the electrochemical response signals for different heavy metal ions are sensitive, the operation and the recovery and regeneration are easy, the chemical stability of the electrode material can be improved, and the acid/alkali solution and organic solvent tolerance of the interdigital electrode is improved.
The invention provides a gold interdigital micro electrochemical sensor, which is shown in figure 1 and comprises the following components:
the single crystal silicon substrate is of a first set thickness; a silicon dioxide layer with a second set thickness is arranged on the monocrystalline silicon substrate; the surface of the silicon dioxide layer is provided with an interdigital electrode pair, and the interdigital electrode pair comprises a 10-20 nm nano titanium bonding layer and a 50-150 nm nano gold sensing layer from inside to outside. Preferably, in some embodiments, the interdigital electrode pair comprises a 10-15nm nanometer titanium bonding layer and a 70-80nm nanometer gold sensing layer from inside to outside.
In the embodiment, the interdigital electrode sensor substrate layer can adopt silicon, quartz or glass as the substrate. Wherein, the glass and the quartz have good surface adsorption and surface reaction capability, which is beneficial to surface modification. However, quartz is relatively expensive, and it is not easy to fabricate a strong metal electrode on glass, so silicon is used as a substrate in the present application, and particularly, a silicon wafer is used as a substrate in the fabrication process. In other application scenarios, a substrate material such as sapphire or silicon carbide may also be used.
The size of the silicon wafer can be set according to actual processing requirements, and more gold interdigital miniature electrochemical sensors can be processed at one time when the size of the silicon wafer is larger. In some embodiments, a 4 inch silicon wafer may be used as a substrate for making 15mm x 10mm gold interdigitated micro electrochemical sensor slices. Further, the first set thickness of the monocrystalline silicon substrate can be set according to the requirements of specific application scenarios.
Further, a silicon dioxide layer is grown as an insulating layer on the single crystal silicon substrate by thermal oxidation treatment. The silicon dioxide layer grown by thermal oxidation treatment belongs to typical amorphous silicon dioxide, and has high resistivity and high breakdown voltage per unit thickness, so that the silicon dioxide layer can play a good insulating role. In some embodiments, the second set thickness of the silicon dioxide layer may be 200 to 300nm, and preferably, 300nm may be set.
In some embodiments, the ratio of the thickness of the nanotitanium adhesion layer to the thickness of the nanogold sensing layer is 1: 8. In the application, the nano titanium bonding layer and the nano gold sensing layer are obtained by depositing nano titanium and nano gold based on an electron beam evaporation process. In order to enhance the structural stability and ensure that the nanogold used as the electrode material can have a good detection effect, the thickness ratio of the nano titanium bonding layer to the nanogold sensing layer is set to be 1:8 so as to achieve the optimal effect.
The screening principle of the micro-interdigital electrode material is as follows: (1) the selected material and the working medium have good compatibility and do not mutually generate chemical reaction; (2) the substrate material should have good insulation and heat dissipation properties; (3) the electrode material has little interference, preferably no interference, with the detection signal; (4) the surface of the electrode material has strong modifiability; (5) the electrode has simple manufacturing process and low material cost.
In the application, gold is used as an electrode, and the gold has the advantages of stable physical and chemical properties, corrosion resistance, difficult oxidation and less oxidation products. The gold has outstanding electrical properties, so that the conductivity of the microelectrode can be improved. In addition, the gold has the application advantages of no toxicity, high temperature resistance, high biocompatibility, easy biological modification, capability of biological modification and the like. The gold interdigital miniature electrochemical sensor prepared by the scheme not only promotes weaker acid-base solution and organic solvent tolerance of the traditional interdigital electrode, but also overcomes the defect that the structure of the traditional electrode is damaged because the traditional electrode easily receives ultrasonic vibration.
Gold is used as an electrode material, and nano titanium is used as a connecting material, so that the electrode material has a stable integral structure and is applied to heavy metals in actual samples; the detection of ions has the characteristics of excellent response capability, simple detection operation flow, high detection survival anti-interference capability and repeated cyclic utilization.
Further, in the interdigitated electrode pair, the width, the spacing and the thickness between the interdigitated electrodes are 3 main factors affecting the structure of the microelectrode. The electrode structure is simulated through simulation software, parameters such as electric fields, capacitance, impedance and the like generated by different structures are analyzed, and the electrode structure with excellent performance and both accuracy and sensitivity is optimized. Therefore, the size width of the electrode pair can be set based on a specific detection object. In some embodiments, the pairs of interdigitated electrodes are in a circular, zigzag, or parallel array.
In some embodiments, the pairs of interdigitated electrodes are in a parallel array and the length of the interdigitated structure is 2700 μm, the width of the interdigitated structure is 2, 3, 5, 10 or 15 μm, and the duty cycle of the interdigitated structure is 1: 1.
As shown in FIG. 3, the impedance curve of drinking water containing manganese ions of different concentrations is tested by using interdigital electrode pairs with width of 2 μm and intervals, and the lower the concentration of the tested metal ion solution, the lower the impedance value, and the larger the impedance difference with ultrapure water, the lower the detection limit. In order to make the signal of the interdigital electrode pair in detection stronger and the signal-to-noise ratio higher, the self-resistance of the sensor needs to be reduced as much as possible, and therefore, the lower the pitch of the interdigital electrodes, the higher the precision. As shown in FIG. 4, the concentration in the test was 200nmol/L-1Impedance curve process of manganese ion drinking waterIn (3), the smaller the width and the spacing of the interdigital electrode pair, the smaller the impedance, and the lower the detection limit. Therefore, the smaller the width and the interval of the interdigital electrode pair are, the smaller the impedance is, the higher the detection sensitivity is, and the ions having a lower concentration can be detected.
On the other hand, the invention provides a method for manufacturing a gold interdigital micro electrochemical sensor, which refers to an integrated circuit micro-nano processing technology for processing so as to construct a finer interdigital electrode structure, improve the detection capability of the sensor on specific heavy metals in a water environment, and enable the physicochemical properties to be more stable, as shown in fig. 2, the method comprises the following steps:

Mask plates with different sizes are used for carrying out photoetching and developing treatment on the dried chip, so that the interdigital array pattern is transferred to the silicon dioxide layerAnd removing the residual photoresist by oxygen plasma sputtering. Specifically, oxygen plasma sputtering can remove residual photoresist on the silicon dioxide layer exposed after photolithography, and can also remove a small amount of photoresist at unexposed positions.
