Steady and efficient sensitized emission of Eu2+ to Eu3+ can be achieved through a rare mixed-valence Eu-MOF (L4EuIII2EuII). Compared with the sensitization of other substances, the similar ion radius and configuration of the extranuclear electron between Eu2+ and Eu3+ make sensitization easier and more efficient. The sensitization of Eu2+ to Eu3+ is of great assistance for the self-enhanced luminescence of L4EuIII2EuII, the longer luminous time, and the more stable electrochemiluminescence (ECL) signal. Simultaneously, L4EuIII2EuII possesses near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence of around 900 nm and a mighty self-luminous characteristic, which render it useful as a NIR fluorescent probe and as a luminophore to establish a NIR ECL biosensor. This NIR biosensor can greatly reduce the damage to the detected samples and even achieve a nondestructive test and improve the detection sensitivity by virtue of strong susceptibility and environmental suitability of NIR. In addition, the CeO2@Co3O4 triple-shelled microspheres further enhanced the ECL intensity due to two redox pairs of Ce3+/Ce4+ and Co2+/Co3+. The NIR ECL biosensor based on these strategies owns an ultrasensitive detection ability of CYFRA 21-1 with a low limit of detection of 1.70 fg/mL and also provides a novel idea for the construction of a highly effective nondestructive immunodetection biosensor.
通过一种罕见的混合电价 Eu-MOF(L4EuIII2EuII),可以实现 Eu2+ 对 Eu3+ 的稳定而高效的敏化发射。与其他物质的敏化相比,Eu2+ 和 Eu3+ 之间相似的离子半径和核外电子构型使敏化更容易、更高效。Eu2+ 对 Eu3+ 的敏化对 L4EuIII2EuII 的自增强发光、更长的发光时间和更稳定的电化学发光(ECL)信号有很大帮助。同时,L4EuIII2EuII 具有约 900 纳米的近红外荧光和强大的自发光特性,可用作近红外荧光探针和发光体,以建立近红外 ECL 生物传感器。这种近红外生物传感器凭借近红外的强敏感性和环境适应性,可以大大减少对被检测样品的破坏,甚至实现无损检测,提高检测灵敏度。此外,由于 Ce3+/Ce4+ 和 Co2+/Co3+ 两种氧化还原对的作用,CeO2@Co3O4 三壳微球进一步增强了 ECL 强度。基于这些策略的近红外 ECL 生物传感器对 CYFRA 21-1 具有超灵敏的检测能力,检出限低至 1.70 fg/mL,同时也为构建高效无损的免疫检测生物传感器提供了新的思路。
