The device is composed of a paper substrate modified with fluorescent AuNCs (AuNC-paper), which is held within a reusable cartridge connected to a syringe, thus allowing users to flow a large volume of the sample solution through the paper test for greater accumulation of the analyte signal. The metallophilic d10-d10 interaction of Hg2+ with Au+ on the surface of the AuNC-paper induces fluorescence quenching, which can be monitored using a smartphone. Importantly, the red-emitting AuNCs avoid interference with the background fluorescence of the paper substrate. Additionally, the AuNCs are strongly-attached to the paper substrate via carbodiimide coupling, which helps prevent the AuNCs from leaching and enables a large amount of solution to interact with the test (up to 2.5 mL) to increase the amount of the target ions that react with the AuNC-paper. As a result, without the need for preconcentrating the test solution, this paper device can provide the highly sensitive detection of Hg2+ ions, including a 26-fold higher sensitivity than the AuNC-modified test paper without a fluidic cartridge, at a low level of down to nM. The paper platform can complete the detection of Hg2+ ions within 30 min, with a detection limit as low as 1.2 nM, which is less than the United States Environmental Protection Agency's regulatory limit for drinking water. This highly sensitive, selective, portable, and easy-to-operate platform may be valuable for on-site mercury pollution monitoring in resource-constrained settings. ? 2021 Elsevier B.V. |
