Abstract
The rapid, accurate and highly sensitive detection of acetylcholine, which was one of the neurotransmitters related to a variety of neurodegenerative diseases has great significance for disease screening, treatment and prognosis. This paper proposed a GNRs/Ti3C2 MXene enhanced optical fiber LSPR acetylcholine biosensor by depositing Ti3C2 MXene nanosheets on the surface of a GNRs-based optical fiber sensing probe via simple electrostatic self-assembly. The refractive index sensitivity of the biosensor was improved due to the advantages of the large specific surface area, hydrophilicity and broadband absorption spectrum of 2D Ti3C2 MXene nanosheets. The refractive index sensitivity of the biosensor with Ti3C2 MXene nanosheets was improved by 44 % compared to that of the GNRs-based biosensor. The biosensor had a good linear relationship in the range of 0–900 μM for acetylcholine concentration with a sensitivity of 0.0304 nm/μM and the detection limit was 6.58 μM. The results indicated that the proposed GNRs/Ti3C2 MXene enhanced optical fiber LSPR acetylcholine biosensor provides a promising avenue of detection for in biotechnology and medicine files.
期刊介绍:
Innovations in optical fiber technology are revolutionizing world communications. Newly developed fiber amplifiers allow for direct transmission of high-speed signals over transcontinental distances without the need for electronic regeneration. Optical fibers find new applications in data processing. The impact of fiber materials, devices, and systems on communications in the coming decades will create an abundance of primary literature and the need for up-to-date reviews.
Optical Fiber Technology: Materials, Devices, and Systems is a new cutting-edge journal designed to fill a need in this rapidly evolving field for speedy publication of regular length papers. Both theoretical and experimental papers on fiber materials, devices, and system performance evaluation and measurements are eligible, with emphasis on practical applications.
