背景:过氧化氢(H2O2)在人体健康中起着至关重要的作用,已被视为代谢过程中的关键分析物,氧化还原转化,食品研究和医学领域。尤其是,H2O2的长时间和过度消化甚至可能导致严重的疾病。尽管已经开发了常规的仪器方法和基于纳米酶的比色法来完成H2O2的定量分析,但仪器依赖性的缺点,成本效益,短寿命,不可携带和不可持续的检测效果将限制它们在不同检测场景中的应用。
结果:这里,为了应对这些挑战,我们提出了一种通过交联聚乙烯醇(PVA)和壳聚糖(CS)的固体支持物制备纳米酶(RuO2)水凝胶的新策略,以继承主要的过氧化物酶样(POD)活性并保护RuO2免于失去功效。利用水凝胶的优势,将包封的RuO2进一步制备为规则球形珠(PCRO)以表现出可持续的,可回收,和强大的催化作用。此外,封装策略可以避免由RuO2引起的固有颜色干扰,以提高检测精度。同时,PCRO的高机械强度显示出高稳定性,再现性,和循环催化,以实现可回收的检测性能和长寿命存储(40天),这样可以灵敏地检测H2O2,检测限低于15μM,检测线性范围为0.025至1.0mM。
结论:基于独特的性质,进一步采用PCRO构建智能手机检测平台,通过采集实现多种类牛奶和真实水样中H2O2的免仪器化、可视化分析,processing,并从比色照片中分析RGB值。因此,PCRO具有先进的检测效果,在实现目标的便携式和现场分析方面具有巨大的潜力。
BACKGROUND: Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) plays a vital role in human health and have been regarded as a crucial analyte in metabolic processes, redox transformations, foods research and medical fields. Especially, the long-time and excessive digestion of H2O2 may even cause severe diseases. Although conventional instrumental methods and nanozymes-based colorimetric methods have been developed to accomplish the quantitative analysis of H2O2, the drawbacks of instrument dependence, cost-effectiveness, short lifespan, non-portable and unsustainable detection efficacies will limit their applications in different detection scenarios.
RESULTS: Herein, to address these challenges, we have proposed a novel strategy for nanozyme (RuO2) hydrogel preparation by the solid support from cross-linked polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and chitosan (CS) to both inherit the dominant peroxidase-like (POD) activity and protect the RuO2 from losing efficacies. Taking advantages from the hydrogel, the encapsulated RuO2 were further prepared as the regularly spherical beads (PCRO) to exhibit the sustainable, recyclable, and robust catalysis. Moreover, the intrinsic color interferences which originated from RuO2 can be avoided by the encapsulation strategy to promote the detection accuracy. Meanwhile, the high mechanical strength of PCRO shows the high stability, reproducibility, and cyclic catalysis to achieve the recyclable detection performance and long lifetime storage (40 days), which enables the sensitively detection of H2O2 with the detection limit as lower to 15 μM and the wide detection linear range from 0.025 to 1.0 mM.
CONCLUSIONS: On the basis of the unique properties, PCRO has been further adopted to construct a smartphone detection platform to realize the instrument-free and visual analysis of H2O2 in multi-types of milk and real water samples through capturing, processing, and analyzing the RGB values from the colorimetric photographs. Therefore, PCRO with the advanced detection efficacies holds the great potential in achieving the portable and on-site analysis of targets-of-interest.
