Abstract
The neonicotinoid pesticide of Nitenpyram (NTP) is widely used in global agriculture systems, sensitive detection of NTP is critical for safeguarding human health and food safety. A europium-based metal-organic framework (Eu-MOF) was rationally synthesized based on density functional theory (DFT) method. This engineered material showed an effective NTP sensing capability with a detection limit of 5.431 μM. Subsequently, the Eu-MOF was immobilized within a paper-based analytical platform to establish a ratiometric fluorescence sensing system. This configuration significantly enhanced detection sensitivity, achieving an improved limit of detection (LOD) at 0.330 μM (nearly 16.46 times smaller than the LOD of bare Eu-MOF). The developed sensing platform enabled non-invasive visual monitoring of NTP contaminants in real samples through smartphone-assisted analysis. This methodology presents an innovative approach for portable pesticide detection through ratiometric luminescent response.
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.
