Description

Visual fluorescent sensor
Technical Field
The application belongs to the technical field of photoelectric materials, and particularly relates to a visual fluorescent sensor.
Background
Spiropyran derivatives are of great interest because of their ability to bind a variety of metal ions and provide a unique spectral response for each metal ion. As a typical representation of photochromic molecules, they can generate colored Merocyanine (MC) structures due to cleavage of c—o bonds under uv light induction, and can also undergo a ring closure reaction under visible light or thermal stimulus to return to their colorless initial State (SP). The MC form of spiropyran has negative charge phenolic oxygen radical to provide complexing site for metal ion to change its corresponding absorption spectrum and fluorescence spectrum, so that it may be used in colorimetry and fluorescence sensing. However, the spiropyran molecules have the defects of poor fatigue resistance caused by easy photodegradation, weak fluorescence caused by easy aggregation of MC forms, incapability of generating ring-closure reaction and the like, and limit the practical application value of the spiropyran molecules in the sensing field.
An effective method to solve this problem is to bond the spiropyran to a support (polymer chain, nanoparticle, etc.) by covalent bond. Because the support can influence the switching dynamics of the spiropyrans to a great extent, the aggregation of the spiropyrans is avoided, and the photostability, switchability and processability thereof are improved. Depending on the dispersed form of the spiropyran, two categories can be distinguished: the first is to modify the spiropyran inside the support by grafting reaction. For example: liu et al graft the spiropyran molecule into poly (N-vinylcaprolactam) by atom radical transfer (ATRP) method, wherein the phenolic oxygen bond of the ring-opened MC and the amino group of N-vinylcaprolactam form coordination bond with metal ion, thereby realizing Fe 2+ 、Cu 2+ 、Co 2+ Is a colorimetric sensor of (a). Sousa et al prepared a spiropyran grafted poly (epsilon-caprolactone) polymer by electrospinning into a nanofiber with photochromic properties, which can realize Mg treatment after ultraviolet light treatment 2+ 、Zn 2+ 、Ca 2+ 、Cd 2+ 、La 3+ 、Er 3+ Colorimetric and fluorescent responses of (a). However, the dense polymer network not only prolongs the response time of the spiropyran ring opening, but also has very difficult desorption process of metal ions from the inside of the polymer system, which reduces the recycling times. The second is to modify the spiropyran on the surface of the support by interfacial modification. For example, maclachlan et al modify spiropyrans on mesoporous silica surfaces by amino silylation agents, which exhibit excellent photochromic properties and are resistant to Zn due to the mesoporous nature of the substrate providing a large number of attachment sites for spiropyrans 2+ 、Cu 2+ 、Ni 2+ 、Sn 2+ Exhibiting a colorimetric response. However, the spiropyran modified on the surface of the support is usually a monomolecular film, and the colorimetric or fluorescent sensing signal is weak, so that trace detection of metal ions has not been achieved yet.

Example 1
(1) Preparation of PDMS substrate containing inverted pyramid microstructure
Firstly, etching for 30min by utilizing the anisotropic etching property of monocrystalline silicon in KOH solution to obtain the silicon template with the micro pyramid structure on the surface. The silicon template is then subjected to a hydrophobic treatment with a fluoro silylating agent to facilitate subsequent peeling of the PDMS. PDMS prepolymer and initiator were then cast on the hydrophobically treated silicon template and cured at 68 ℃ for 3 hours. And after solidification, cooling to room temperature and peeling off the PDMS to obtain the PDMS substrate containing the inverted pyramid microstructure.
(2) Preparation of PDMS/PMMA-Au substrates
First, 20mL of chloroauric acid (0.01 wt%) was added to a round bottom flask and boiled under stirring and reflux. Then, 0.14mL sodium citrate (1 wt%) was added quickly to the boiling solution and the solution was boiled for an additional 30min. Subsequently, the above solution was cooled to room temperature, and centrifuged to obtain Au nanoparticles. Then, 0.0455g of PMMA is dissolved in 20g of methylene dichloride, au nano-particles with different contents are added, the mixture is uniformly dispersed by ultrasonic, and the mixture is stirred for 5 hours at room temperature after sealing. Finally, 50 mu L of mixed solution of PMMA and Au is spin-coated on the surface of PDMS, spin-coating speed and time are 4500r/min and 30s respectively, and the spin-coated sample is dried in an oven at 60 ℃ for 1h, so that the PDMS/PMMa-Au substrate is obtained.
(3) TBDS functionalization of PDMS/PMMA-Au substrates
First, the dried PDMS/PMMA-Au substrate was subjected to oxygen plasma treatment for 5min to attach a large number of hydroxyl groups to the surface. Then, the above treated substrate was put into DMF solutions of different TBDS contents, and left to stand at room temperature for 30min. Finally, the substrate was washed thoroughly with DMF to modify the TBDS monolayer on the substrate surface.
(4) Preparation of PDMS/PMMA-Au/SP substrates
First, PDMS/PMMA-Au substrates with surface modified TBDS were placed in DMF solutions with different ATMS contents and allowed to stand at room temperature for 30min. Next, the substrate was washed thoroughly with ethanol and water using a grafted amino silylation reagent to modify the ATMS monolayer on the substrate surface. Then, the substrate after ATMS modification is put into 20mL ethanol solution containing 35mgEDC and 5mg spiropyran for reaction, and the substrate is stood for different times under the condition of room temperature and darkness, so as to finish the spiropyran functional modification of the surface of the substrate. Finally, washing the spiropyran modified sample with ethanol to obtain the PDMS/PMMA-Au/SP composite substrate, and finally obtaining the fluorescence sensor.
Example 2
Preparation method verification and morphology characterization of PDMS/PMMA-Au/SP substrate
The preparation flow of the PDMS/PMMA-Au/SP substrate is shown in figure 1, and firstly, a silicon substrate containing a micro pyramid array is obtained on the surface of planar silicon by an alkali liquid anisotropic etching method. The average height of the micro pyramids was 5 μm, and the side-to-plane angle was about 54.7 °, as shown in fig. 2 (a), (d) and fig. 11. And then pouring the PDMS prepolymer on the surface of the silicon substrate, and curing to obtain the PDMS substrate with the inverted pyramid structure on the surface. As shown in fig. 2 (b) and (e), the inverse pyramid structure of the PDMS surface was complementary to the pyramid structure of the silicon substrate surface, indicating that the PDMS substrate was successfully replicated.
Compared with a planar structure, the PDMS substrate not only has larger specific surface area, but also has excellent anti-reflection capability, which is beneficial to improving the light absorption efficiency and enhancing the isomerism efficiency and the excitation efficiency of the spiropyran. And then, spin-coating the PMMA film containing the Au nano particles on the surface of the PDMS substrate, wherein the PMMA dielectric layer can effectively reduce the probability of direct contact between the Au nano particles and the spiropyran molecules and reduce non-radiative energy transfer between the Au and the spiropyran molecules.
In addition, tertiary butyl diphenyl chlorosilane (TBDS) containing rigid groups is modified on the PMMA surface, so that the space between spiropyran molecules can be increased, and a large enough free space is provided for spiropyran ring-opening isomerization. Finally, SP-COOH was covalently grafted onto PMMA surface unoccupied by TBDS by an amino silylating agent as bridging molecule. FIGS. 2 (c) and (f) show the morphology of PDMS/PMMA-Au/SP substrates with overall structure similar to that of insect complex eyes. Meanwhile, fig. 2 (e) shows the EDS spectrum of the PDMS/PMMA-Au/SP substrate, with the elements uniformly distributed on the substrate surface, again demonstrating the success of the composite substrate preparation.
To further demonstrate the success of the modification of the functional molecules on the surface of the composite substrate, the inventors performed UV-Vis transmission spectrum tracking of the samples involved in the modification process, as shown in fig. 3. First, after the TBDS is modified on the surface of the composite substrate, two characteristic peaks appear at 250nm and 365nm in the transmission spectrum. Then, after modifying ATMS, the characteristic peak at 365nm of the transmission spectrum of the composite substrate surface disappears. Finally, after the spiropyran is grafted on the surface of the composite substrate, the characteristic peak at 250nm of the transmission spectrum disappears, and two characteristic peaks appear at 265nm and 340 nm. After the spiropyran modified composite substrate is irradiated by ultraviolet light, a strong characteristic peak appears in a transmission spectrum of 550nm, which shows that spiropyran isomerizes from a closed-loop SP form to an open-loop MC form, and the composite substrate is proved to be successfully prepared.
Fig. 4 shows a photograph of the change in the surface contact angle during sample preparation. PDMS and PMMA are both hydrophobic polymers, so the contact angles of the surfaces of the PDMS substrate and the PDMS/PMMA-Au substrate are about 120 degrees, and the contact angles are not changed obviously. After the PDMS/PMMA-Au is subjected to oxygen plasma treatment, a large number of hydroxyl groups are generated on the surface of the PDMS/PMMA-Au, the contact angle reaches 30 degrees, and the PDMS/PMMA-Au shows certain hydrophilicity. After the PDMS/PMMA-Au surface is modified by TBDS, the contact angle reaches 106.1 degrees. This is because the modified TBDS contains a large number of benzene rings, which makes the sample surface exhibit a certain hydrophobicity. After grafting the ATMS, the contact angle of the substrate surface was reduced to 60.4 again, since ATMS contains a large amount of amino groups, making the substrate surface hydrophilic. After grafting the spiropyran onto the substrate surface by ATMS, its contact angle reaches 103.4 °, because the spiropyran that is not ring-opened isomerized is hydrophobic. Finally, the spiropyran ring-opening isomerism on the surface of the substrate under the irradiation of ultraviolet light is in an MC form with a zwitterionic form, and the spiropyran ring-opening isomerism shows hydrophilic property, so that the contact angle is only 37.0 degrees. The variation of the contact angle is completely matched with the functionalization of the substrate surface in each step, and the preparation success of the composite substrate is fully proved.
Example 3
My application investigated the effect of Au nanoparticle content on the fluorescence enhancement performance of PDMS/PMMa-Au/SP composite substrates, and the following discussion relates to composite substrates that were all subjected to uv irradiation for 90 s.
As shown in fig. 5, when Au nanoparticles are not contained, the fluorescence intensity of the composite substrate is very weak under excitation of incident light.
As the concentration of Au nanoparticles increases, the fluorescence intensity of the composite substrate increases as well, because of the plasmonic effect of the Au nanoparticles.
At an Au nanoparticle concentration of 1.4X10 -4 And in the M process, the fluorescence intensity of the composite substrate reaches the maximum, and the corresponding plasma resonance absorption peak is the strongest. However, as the concentration of Au nanoparticles continues to increase, the fluorescence intensity decreases because Au nanoparticles at too high a concentration accumulate, weakening the electromagnetic field effect.
Example 4
My application investigated the effect of TBDS addition on the fluorescence enhancement performance of PDMS/PMMA-Au/SP composite substrates, and the following discussion relates to composite substrates that have been subjected to UV irradiation for 90 seconds.
As shown in FIG. 6, at a TBDS addition of 100. Mu.L, the transmittance of the composite substrate was the lowest, i.e., the spiropyran discoloration effect of the substrate surface was the most pronounced, while the fluorescence intensity was also the greatest. This is because the addition of TBDS affects the intermolecular spacing of the spiropyrans and thus the steric hindrance of their ring opening.
When the TBDS addition amount is too small, the molecular spacing of the spiropyran is too short, so that a sufficient space cannot be increased for isomerization of the spiropyran, the spiropyran ring opening is slow and even so that the spiropyran ring opening cannot be performed, and further, the composite substrate is small in transmittance change and weak in fluorescence intensity. However, when the TBDS is excessively added, the effective modification amount of the subsequent spiropyran on the surface of the composite substrate is reduced, so that the change of the transmittance of the composite substrate is small and the fluorescence intensity is weak.
Example 5
My application investigated the effect of ATMS addition on the fluorescence enhancement performance of PDMS/PMMA-Au/SP composite substrates, and the following discussion relates to composite substrates that have been subjected to UV irradiation for 90 seconds.
The amount of ATMS added will have a significant effect on the grafting sites of the spiropyrans. As shown in fig. 7, when the addition amount of ATMS is too small, it cannot provide sufficient active sites required for spiropyran grafting on the surface of the composite substrate, so that the spiropyran grafting amount is low, and thus the transmittance of the composite substrate becomes small and the fluorescence intensity is weak.
With the increase of the ATMS addition amount, the transmissivity of the composite substrate is continuously reduced, and the fluorescence intensity is gradually enhanced. At an ATMS addition of 10. Mu.L, the transmittance of the composite substrate was the lowest and the fluorescence enhancement was the greatest. However, when the ATMS addition amount exceeds 10. Mu.L, the fluorescence intensity of the composite substrate tends to decrease because the density of grafting active sites is too high, so that the grafted spiropyran is quenched by fluorescence aggregation.
Example 6
The effect of the spiropyran growth time on the fluorescence enhancement performance of PDMS/PMMA-Au/SP composite substrates was studied, and the following discussion relates to composite substrates that were all subjected to UV irradiation for 90 s.
The growth time of the spiropyran is closely related to the grafting quantity of the spiropyran on the surface of the composite substrate. As shown in fig. 8, the number of spiropyran grafts is smaller as the growth time is shorter, so that the change in transmittance of the composite substrate is smaller. With the increase of the grafting time of the spiropyran, the transmissivity of the composite substrate is continuously reduced, and the fluorescence intensity is gradually enhanced. The transmittance change of the composite substrate is most obvious when the grafting time is 12 hours.
However, it should be noted that the fluorescence intensity of the composite substrate has reached a maximum value at 3 hours, and then tends to decrease. This is probably because the grafting density was too high and aggregation quenching occurred after 3 hours as the growth time of the spiropyran continued to increase.
In the present application, the inventors selected the optimum condition for the spiropyran growth time of 3 hours for the subsequent study, because the transmittance of the composite substrate was 3% lower in 3 to 12 hours, but the fluorescence intensity was reduced by 1.5 times.
Meanwhile, the composite substrate needs to be used for trace detection of subsequent metal ions, so that excellent fluorescence performance is important for practical application of the substrate.
Example 7
My application has demonstrated that PDMS/PMMA-Au/SP substrates exhibit very excellent fluorescence properties at a spiropyran grafting time of 3h in a one-factor optimization process. This fluorescence enhancement comes mainly from three aspects, an inverted pyramid structure with anti-reflection capability, au nanoparticles with plasmon resonance effect, and PMMA spacer layer with low non-radiative energy transfer probability, respectively.
The inverted pyramid structure has excellent anti-reflection capability, and can improve the excitation efficiency of the spiropyran on the surface of the substrate, thereby improving the fluorescence intensity of the spiropyran.
To demonstrate this, the substrate P with inverted pyramid structure was compared sample (PDMS/PMMA-Au/SP) and a substrate F having no inverted pyramid structure sample As shown in fig. 9 (a), the fluorescence intensity of the former is 19 times that of the latter, and the enhancement factor is as high as 5.06.
The Au nano particles can generate enhanced local electromagnetic fields under the action of incident light, so that more rapid attenuation channels are provided for the spiropyran on the surface of the substrate, the fluorescence lifetime of the spiropyran is reduced, the spontaneous radiation rate of the spiropyran is increased, and the fluorescence intensity of the spiropyran is enhanced. To demonstrate this, the fluorescence intensity and fluorescence lifetime of the Au nanoparticle-containing substrate PDMS/PMMa-Au/SP and the Au nanoparticle-free substrate PDMS/SP were compared, the fluorescence intensity of the PDMS/PMMa-Au/SP being significantly greater than that of the PDMS/SP, and the fluorescence lifetime of the PDMS/PMMa-Au/SP being shorter than that of the PDMS/SP, as shown in fig. 9 (c) and (d).
In addition, the resonant coupling between the Au nanoparticles and the fluorescent molecules can significantly enhance the fluorescence intensity of the latter, and the enhancement effect is maximized when the plasmon resonance peak of the metal nanoparticles overlaps with the absorption peak or excitation peak of the fluorescent molecules. As shown in fig. 9 (b), the plasmon resonance absorption peak of the Au nanoparticle has a relatively high overlap with the absorption peak of the spiropyran, which will significantly increase the excitation efficiency and the radiation rate of the spiropyran on the substrate surface, thereby increasing the fluorescence intensity thereof.
The PMMA spacer layer reduces the probability of non-radiative energy transfer caused by direct contact of Au and MC, thereby improving the fluorescence intensity of the substrate. To demonstrate this, the fluorescence intensity and fluorescence lifetime of the PMMA-containing substrate PDMS/PMMa-Au/SP and the PMMA-free substrate PDMS/Au/SP were compared, as shown in FIGS. 9 (c) and (d). The fluorescence intensity of PDMS/PMMa-Au/SP is larger than that of PDMS/Au/SP, and meanwhile, the fluorescence lifetime of PDMS/PMMa-Au/SP is longer than that of PDMS/Au/SP, which indicates that more electron transfer exists between metal nano particles of the PDMS/Au/SP substrate and the spiropyran, and fluorescence emission of MC is quenched.
Example 8
After the spiropyran is ring-opened and isomerized into a merocyanine MC form under ultraviolet light irradiation, fluorescence and colorimetric sensing of metal ions can be realized through the combination of the phenolic oxygen group of the merocyanine MC and the metal ions.
As shown in FIG. 10 (a), 10 drops of PDMS/PMMA-Au/SP were respectively applied to the surface of the substrate -3 M Zn 2+ 、Ni 2+ 、Sn 2+ 、Cu 2+ The fluorescence peak of MC of the ethanol solution is shifted from 620nm to 615nm, 610nm, 625nm and 630nm respectively, and the fluorescence intensity is obviously quenched. And the fluorescence intensity of PDMS/PMMA-Au/SP substrate is linear with the concentration of metal ions.
By Zn 2+ For example, as shown in FIGS. 10 (b) and (c), the fluorescence intensity of the substrate is compared with Zn 2+ The linear analytical equation for the concentration is: y= -307433X-319506 (10 -1 M~10 -6 M) with a detection Limit (LOD) of 0.281 μm (lod=3s) b /S,S b = 0.08613), which indicates that the substrate canThe trace detection of metal ions is realized.
In addition, because the complex bond formed between MC and metal ion is unstable, can release metal ion because the spiropyran isomerizes back to the open-loop state under exposing to visible light, and make the basement can realize recycling.
As shown in fig. 10 (d), the PDMS/PMMA-Au/SP substrate did not show any decay of sensitivity for 6 cycles. PDMS/PMMA-Au/SP substrates can be realized by colorimetry in addition to detection of different metal ions by fluorescence. In order to have obvious colorimetric response effect, the ultraviolet irradiation pretreatment time of the substrate is prolonged to 150s.
FIGS. 10 (e) and (f) show colourimetric photographs and transmission spectra of PDMS/PMMA-Au/SP substrates in response to different metal ions. The spiropyran on the surface of the substrate isomerizes from a colorless closed-loop form SP to a dark purple open-loop form MC after 150s of ultraviolet light irradiation, so that the whole substrate shows obvious color change, which corresponds to a transmission peak at 560nm corresponding to MC.
Then when the substrate complexes different metal ions, the absorption peak has a distinct blue shift, and thus shows different color changes. In this way, different metal ions can be distinguished through macroscopic color change, and the visual identification method greatly reduces the cost in the ion detection process.
