Abstract
Foodborne residue of carbendazim (CBZ) poses a major threat to human health. Here, we rationally designed a smartphone-assisted fluorescent sensor based on bimetallic-organic framework (Eu/Tb-MOF) for ultrasensitive and visual monitoring of CBZ. The Eu/Tb-MOF nanorods fabricated using Eu3+/Tb3+ as metal nodes and homobenzoic tricarboxylic acid (H3BTC) as organic ligand exhibit superior optical properties. After adding CBZ, the strong orange fluorescence of Eu/Tb-MOF nanorods was suppressed by the inner filter effect (IFE). The linear ranges of the fluorescent sensor were 0.02–15 and 15–80 µg/mL, with a detection limit as low as 7.09 ng/mL. The analyses of CBZ residue in tomato and orange samples showed satisfactory recoveries of 98.93 %–101.97 % and low relative standard deviations of 0.87 %–3.44 %, verifying the practicality of the probe for CBZ. Notably, a simple and portable smartphone-assisted sensing platform based on the Eu/Tb-MOF nanorods was successfully constructed for quick, visual, and real-time monitoring of CBZ residue. This work provides an efficient onsite analytical method for assessment and warning-early of CBZ to safeguard food quality.
期刊介绍:
The Microchemical Journal is a peer reviewed journal devoted to all aspects and phases of analytical chemistry and chemical analysis. The Microchemical Journal publishes articles which are at the forefront of modern analytical chemistry and cover innovations in the techniques to the finest possible limits. This includes fundamental aspects, instrumentation, new developments, innovative and novel methods and applications including environmental and clinical field.
Traditional classical analytical methods such as spectrophotometry and titrimetry as well as established instrumentation methods such as flame and graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry, gas chromatography, and modified glassy or carbon electrode electrochemical methods will be considered, provided they show significant improvements and novelty compared to the established methods.
