本文构建了以上转换纳米粒子(Upconversion Phosphors,UCPs)为供体,氧化碳球为受体的荧光共振能量转移新体系用于Ag+的检测。氧化碳球对上转换荧光供体的发射具有良好的猝灭效果,当氧化碳球的浓度达到0.038mg/mL时,猝灭效率最大,达到78%。向该体系中加入Ag+后,在浓度为1~100nmol/L范围内,UCPs的荧光恢复程度与Ag+的浓度呈线性关系。该方法测定Ag+的检出限为0.98nmol/L。本实验首次尝试构建以氧化碳球为受体的荧光共振能量转移(FRET)传感器来检测Ag+,结合了UCPs的上转换发光特性和氧化碳球优良的猝灭能力以及良好的分散性,为Ag+的检测提供了一个新的方法。
In this study,we constructed a new aptamer biosensor for the determination of Ag+ based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) from upconversion phosphors (UCPs) to carbon nanoparticles oxide(CNPs oxide). CNPs oxide was found to be a good energy acceptor for UCPs,with up to 78 % fluorescence quenching degree obtained. The donor fluorescence restoration was linearly related to Ag+ within the concentration range from 1 nmol/L to 100 nmol/L,and a detection limit of as low as 0.98 nmol/L was acquired in aqueous solution. This is the first report that UCPs and CNPs oxide were employed as a donor-acceptor pair to construct FRET-based biosensors, which utilized both the upconversion photophysical merits of UCPs and the superquenching ability and good water-solubility of CNPs oxide. The proposed UCPs-FRET sensor afforded favorable analytical performances in the detection of Ag+ ,which also opened the way to a new class of upconversion FRET assays.
