Highly sensitive and selective determination of copper(II) based on a dual catalytic effect and by using silicon nanoparticles as a fluorescent probe.
Mikrochimica Acta 2018 Februrary 20
The authors describe a silicon nanoparticle-based fluorometric method for sensitive and selective detection of Cu2+ . It is based on the catalytic action of Cu2+ on the oxidation of cysteine (Cys) by oxygen to form cystine and the by-product H2 O2 . The generated H2 O2 is catalytically decomposed by Cu2+ to generate hydroxyl radicals which oxidize and destroy the surface of SiNPs. As a result, the blue fluorescence of the SiNPs is quenched. The method has excellent selectivity due to the dual catalytic effects of Cu2+ , which is much better than most previously reported nanomaterial-based assays for Cu2+ . Under the optimal conditions, the method has low detection limit (29 nM) and a linear response in a concentration range from 0.05 μM to 15 μM. The method has been successfully applied to the determination of Cu2+ in spiked real water samples, and the results agreed well with those obtained by the Chinese National Standard method (GB/T 7475-1987; AAS). Graphical abstract Schematic presentation of a fluorometric method for the determination of Cu2+ based on the dual catalytic effects of Cu2+ , and the oxidative effect of hydroxy radicals on the surface of silicon nanoparticles (SiNPs). The method has a 29 nM detection limit and good selectivity.
