Direct and specific detection of methyl-paraoxon using a highly sensitive fluorescence strategy combined with phosphatase-like nanozyme and molecularly imprinted polymer. Talanta 2024; 277:126434. [PMID: 38879946 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.126434] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2024] [Revised: 06/10/2024] [Accepted: 06/13/2024] [Indexed: 06/18/2024]
Abstract
Methyl paraoxon (MP) is a highly toxic, efficient and broad-spectrum organophosphorus pesticide, which poses significant risks to ecological environment and human health. Many detection methods for MP are based on the enzyme catalytic or inhibition effect. But natural biological enzymes are relatively expensive and easy to be inactivated with a short service life. As a unique tool of nanotechnology with enzyme-like characteristics, nanozyme has attracted increasing concern. However, a large proportion of nanozymes lack the intrinsic specificity, becoming a main barrier of constraining their use in biochemical analysis. Here, we use a one-pot reverse microemulsion polymerization combine the gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) with molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), polydopamine (PDA) and hollow CeO2 nanospheres to synthesize the bright red-orange fluorescence probe (CeO2@PDA@AuNCs-MIPs) with high phosphatase-like activity for selective detection of MP. The hollow structure possesses a specific surface area and porous matrix, which not only increases the exposure of active sites but also enhances the efficiency of mass and electron transport. Consequently, this structure significantly enhances the catalytic activity by reducing transport distances. The introduced MIPs provide the specific recognition sites for MP. And Ce (III) can excite aggregation induced emission of AuNCs and enhance the fluorescent signal. The absolute fluorescence quantum yield (FLQY) of CeO2@PDA@AuNCs-MIPs (1.41 %) was 12.8-fold higher than that of the GSH-AuNCs (0.11 %). With the presence of MP, Ce (IV)/Ce (III) species serve as the active sites to polarize and hydrolyze phosphate bonds to generate p-nitrophenol (p-NP), which can quench the fluorescent signal through the inner-filter effect. The as-prepared CeO2@PDA@AuNCs-MIPs nanozyme-based fluorescence method for MP detection displayed superior analytical performances with wide linearities range of 0.45-125 nM and the detection limit of 0.15 nM. Furthermore, the designed method offers satisfactory practical application ability. The developed method is simple and effective for the in-field detection.

Abstract
Carbon dots (CDs), a class of carbon-based nanomaterials with dimensions less than 10 nm, have attracted significant interest since their discovery. They possess numerous excellent properties, such as tunability of photoluminescence, environmental friendliness, low cost, and multifunctional applications. Recently, a large number of reviews have emerged that provide overviews of their synthesis, properties, applications, and their composite functionalization. The application of CDs in the field of optoelectronics has also seen unprecedented development due to their excellent optical properties, but reviews of them in this field are relatively rare. With the idea of deepening and broadening the understanding of the applications of CDs in the field of optoelectronics, this review for the first time provides a detailed summary of their applications in the field of luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs), light-emitting diodes (LEDs), solar cells, and photodetectors. In addition, the definition, categories, and synthesis methods of CDs are briefly introduced. It is hoped that this review can bring scholars more and deeper understanding in the field of optoelectronic applications of CDs to further promote the practical applications of CDs.

Abstract
Food quality and safety are crucial public health concerns with global significance. In recent years, a series of fluorescence detection technologies have been widely used in the detection/monitoring of food quality and safety. Due to the advantages of wide detection range, high sensitivity, convenient and fast detection, and strong specificity, quantum dot (QD)-based fluorescent nanosensors have emerged as preferred candidates for food quality and safety analysis. In this comprehensive review, several common types of QD production methods are introduced, including colloidal synthesis, self-assembly, plasma synthesis, viral assembly, electrochemical assembly, and heavy-metal-free synthesis. The optoelectronic properties of QDs are described in detail at the electronic level, and the effect of food matrices on QDs was summarized. Recent advancements in the field of QD-based fluorescent nanosensors for trace level detection and monitoring of volatile components, heavy metal ions, food additives, pesticide residues, veterinary-drug residues, other chemical components, mycotoxins, foodborne pathogens, humidity, and temperature are also thoroughly summarized. Moreover, we discuss the limitations of the QD-based fluorescent nanosensors and present the challenges and future prospects for developing QD-based fluorescent nanosensors. As shown by numerous publications in the field, QD sensors have the advantages of strong anti-interference ability, convenient and quick operation, good linear response, and wide detection range. However, the reported assays are laboratory-focused and have not been industrialized and commercialized. Promising research needs to examine the potential applications of bionanotechnology in QD-based fluorescent nanosensors, and focus on the development of smart packaging films, labeled test strips, and portable kits-based sensors.

Abstract
Uranium is one of the most important radionuclides but could also cause potential health risks to human beings due to its radioactive and chemical toxicity. It is an urgent task to develop a simple but efficient sensing platform for UO22+, the main existing form of uranium in environment. Herein, a rhodamine-functionalized carbon dots (o-CDs-Rho) was synthesized and applied for UO22+ sensing through a simple but novel aggregation-enhanced FRET strategy. The weak FRET efficiency (16.2%) of o-CDs-Rho in dispersed solution is significantly enhanced (>77.2%) after UO22+ triggered aggregation due to the increased number of rhodamine acceptors around each CDs from dispersed 80 to aggregated 2800. This is the first ratiometric fluorescence sensor with an inverse change of fluorescence intensity at dual emission wavelengths under single-wavelength excitation for UO22+. Under optimized experiment conditions, o-CDs-Rho nanosensor shows a low detection limit of 53 nM and excellent selectivity. Meanwhile, the as-prepared nanosensor also shows high reliability and stability. These excellent properties make it successful in detecting uranium content in real samples.

Abstract
A highly sensitive fluorescent sensing system of novel carbon quantum dots nano-fluorescent probe based on corn stalks was established for the determination of methyl parathion by alkaline catalytic hydrolysis and inner filter effect mechanism. The carbon quantum dots nano-fluorescent probe was prepared from corn stalks using an optimized one-step hydrothermal method. The detection mechanism of methyl parathion was revealed. The reaction conditions were optimized. The linear range, sensitivity and selectivity of the method were evaluated. Under the optimal conditions, the carbon quantum dots nano-fluorescent probe exhibited high selectivity and sensitivity to methyl parathion, achieving a linear range of 0.005-14 µg/mL. The fluorescence sensing platform was applied to the detection of methyl parathion in rice samples, and the results showed that the recoveries range from 91.64 to 104.28 %, and the relative standard deviations were less than 4.17 %. The detection limit for methyl parathion in rice samples was 1.22 µg/kg, and the limit of quantitation (LOQ) was 4.07 µg/kg, which was very satisfactory.

Abstract
Dissolvable hydrogels have shown great potentials in removing the exudes and alleviating pain during wound dressing replacement. Herein, a series of carbon dots (CDs) composing high complexation ability with Cu2+ were prepared for capturing Cu2+ from Cu2+-alginate hydrogels. CDs were prepared using biocompatible lysine as the main starting material, while ethylenediamine was chosen as the other starting material for its extremely high complexation ability with Cu2+. The complexation ability increased with the increasing amount of ethylenediamine, while the cell viability decreased. When the mass ratio of ethylenediamine to lysine in CDs was above 1/4, six-coordinate copper centers could be formed. CD1/4 at the concentration of 90 mg/mL could dissolve Cu2+-alginate hydrogels within 16 min, which was about twice faster than lysine. In vivo results showed the replaced hydrogels could ameliorate hypoxic conditions, alleviate local inflammatory reactions and promote the healing speed of burn wounds. Thus, the above results suggested the competitive complexation of CDs with Cu2+ could effectively dissolve Cu2+-alginate hydrogels, which have much potential in realizing facile wound dressing replacement.

Abstract
The ecosystem across the globe has been adversely affected due to the adoption of unsustainable growth strategies. Overuse of organic pollutants such as dyes, pesticides, disinfectants, food additives and antibiotics, along with their release into the environment without proper treatment has severely affected the food chain and water bodies, hence ultimately the human race. As the organic contaminants, being non-biodegradable, persist in the environment for a long duration, a sustainable method for the detection of these harmful organic pollutants is essential. For food safety and restoration of ecological balance, simple, non-toxic, cost-effective and environmentally friendly green precursor derived carbon dots (CDs) are favorable as compared to inorganic nanoparticles (CdTe, CdS etc.) and chemically derived CDs. This review covers the summary of the studies devoted to the optical detection of organic pollutants, food additives and antibiotics through green precursor derived CDs, reported during the last few years. The upcoming studies of optical sensing systems with sustainable CDs provide powerful insight towards pollutant detection, as well as act as a future monitoring tool.

Abstract
Rapid industrialization is accompanied by the deterioration of the natural environment. The deepening crisis associated with the ecological environment has garnered widespread attention toward strengthening environmental monitoring and protection. Environmental sensors are one of the key technologies for environmental monitoring, ultimately enabling environmental protection. In recent decades, micro/nanomaterials have been widely studied and applied in environmental sensing owing to their unique dimensional properties. Electrospinning has been developed and adopted as a facile, quick, and effective technology to produce continuous micro- and nanofiber materials. The technology has advanced rapidly and become one of the hotspots in the field of nanomaterials research. Environmental sensors made from electrospun nanofibers possess many advantages, such as having a porous structure and high specific surface area, which effectively improve their performance in environmental sensing. Furthermore, by introducing functional nanomaterials (carbon nanotubes, metal oxides, conjugated polymers, etc.) into electrospun fibers, synergistic effects between different materials can be utilized to improve the catalytic activity and sensitivity of the sensors. In this review, we aimed to outline the progress of research over the past decade on electrospinning nanofibers with different morphologies and functional characteristics in environmental sensors.
