Background

Because heavy metal elements are widely applied in many fields, a large amount of heavy metal ions enter a water body to cause heavy metal ion pollution, and serious harm is caused to human health, animals, plants and the like. For example, dopamine is a catecholamine neurotransmitter, a chemical substance used by intracerebral information transmitters to help cells to deliver impulses and regulate various physiological functions of the central nervous system. This brain endocrine is related to the emotion, sensation and transmits information about excitement and distraction. In addition, dopamine is also associated with various addictive behaviors. During manganese poisoning, levodopa decarboxylase is inhibited, so that the process of decarboxylation of levodopa into dopamine and norepinephrine is hindered, and the content of dopamine and norepinephrine in basal ganglia is obviously reduced. Disorders of dopamine system regulation are involved in the development of parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, tourette syndrome, attention deficit hyperactivity syndrome, and pituitary tumors, among others.

The detection of heavy metal ions is the basis for preventing and treating heavy metal ion pollution. The methods for detecting heavy metal ions are various, and the analysis methods of instruments such as atomic absorption spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, fluorescence spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and the like need expensive, heavy and complex instruments, so that the detection cost is high, the steps are multiple, the time consumption is long, and the popularization is not easy; the chemical analysis method needs a plurality of chemical reagents, and has the problems of secondary pollution besides multiple steps and long time consumption; the electrochemical analysis method is a method for determining the quantity of a substance to be measured in a solution according to a certain relation between the quantity and certain electrical parameters (such as resistance, conductance, potential, current, electric quantity and the like), and has the characteristics of simple operation, low cost, high detection speed and easiness in realizing miniaturization and automation.

Photoelectrochemical detection is an analytical technique developed on the basis of electrochemical analysis, which is carried out based on the existence of a certain relationship between an electrochemical signal generated when a detection electrode is irradiated with light and the amount of a substance to be detected in a solution. Key to photoelectrochemical detectionIs a detection electrode, and has been reported to detect heavy metal ions, dopamine and other substances by adopting a photoelectrochemical method. For example, Analytical Chemistry (2010, 82, P2253-. Biosensors and Bioelectronics (2007, 22, P2812-2818) report a preparation method of a photoelectrochemical detection electrode, a titanium oxide nanotube array (TiO) is grown on the surface of a Ti sheet by an anodic oxidation method₂Ti electrode) and then impregnating the TiO with a Glucose Oxidase (GOD) solution₂a/Ti electrode, finally depositing polypyrrole on the sample through electropolymerization, fixing GOD and preparing the TiO modified by GOD₂Ti electrode (GOD-TiO)₂a/Ti electrode) which can be used for the photoelectrochemical detection of glucose. Microchim Acta (2017, 184, P3333-3338) reports a preparation method of a photoelectrochemical detection electrode, SnSe nanosheets are prepared by a solvothermal method, then the SnSe nanosheets are dispersed and dripped on the surface of a cleaned gold electrode, and the gold electrode modified by SnSe (SnSe/GE) can be obtained by natural drying in the air, and the electrode can be used for photoelectrochemical detection of dopamine. Microchim Acta (2017, 184, P4827-4833) reports a preparation method of a photoelectrochemical detection electrode, wherein nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots (N-CDs) can be obtained by heating and refluxing an ammonium citrate solution at 200 ℃; preparation of BiVO by hydrothermal method₄Powder of BiVO₄Dispersing the powder into dilute hydrochloric acid to prepare a dispersion solution, adding N-CDs, stirring and dispersing uniformly, transferring into a hydrothermal kettle for hydrothermal reaction to prepare BiOCl/BiVO₄a/N-CDs composite powder; using BiOCl/BiVO₄Preparing dispersion liquid from the/N-CDs composite powder, dripping the dispersion liquid on the surface of the cleaned ITO electrode, and drying in the air at room temperature to prepare the electrode (BiOCl/BiVO)₄/N-CDs/ITO) that can be used for the photoelectrochemical detection of dopamine. Biosensors and Bioelectronics (2014, 56, P243-249) report a method for preparing a photoelectrochemical detection electrode by ITThe O glass is taken as a substrate, zinc oxide nano-flower is deposited on the surface of the O glass by a hydrothermal method, then a DNA film is deposited by electrostatic adsorption, and the zinc oxide nano-flower based electrode can be prepared and can be used for Pb²⁺Photoelectrochemical detection of (1). However, no report on a photoelectrochemical electrode which can be used for detecting both permanganate and dopamine is available at present. In addition, the photoelectrochemical sensors reported in the literature have some disadvantages and shortcomings, for example, the photoelectrochemical sensors containing enzymes generally have poor stability, and the photoelectrochemical sensors prepared by the coating method have the problems of easy agglomeration of active substances, difficult control of the amount of the active substances, poor conductivity and the like.

The surfactant in the steps (2) and (3) is ethanolamine.

The titanium oxide nanotube array-based photoelectrochemical detection electrode can be used for detecting permanganate acid radicals and dopamine.

The invention has the beneficial effects that:

(1) the invention has the outstanding characteristics that the prepared photoelectrochemistry detection electrode can be used for detecting permanganate and dopamine, and the detection process is simple, rapid and pollution-free.

(2) The method has the remarkable characteristics that silver oxide (silver hydroxide) is firstly deposited in the newly prepared TNTA, and then the sample wafer is calcined at 450 ℃ to prepare the Ag modified TNTA (Ag-TNTA). The newly prepared TNTA is in an amorphous structure, silver ions easily enter the titanium oxide, the titanium oxide is crystallized in the calcining process, and the silver oxide is converted into metal silver and doped in the titanium oxide. The modification of TNTA with Ag can raise the conductivity of TNTA and facilitate the combination of metal particle deposited in the subsequent step and TNTA.

(3) The method has the remarkable characteristics that Ag-TNTA is taken as a substrate, a compound of silver oxide and copper hydroxide is firstly deposited in the Ag-TNTA, and then the compound is reduced into metal silver and copper by adopting a hydrothermal method. The sample prepared by the method has the advantages of fine metal particles, more defects and more uniform dispersion, and can improve the sensitivity of the electrode. In addition, the hydrothermal reduction can also increase the number of hydroxyl groups on the surface of the titanium oxide and reduce the interfacial tension between the electrode and the aqueous solution.

The amino group of the ethanolamine can be complexed with silver ions and copper ions, and the hydroxyl group of the ethanolamine can act with the hydroxyl group on the surface of the titanium oxide, so that the interfacial tension between the metal ion solution and the titanium oxide is reduced, and the combination between the metal ions and the titanium oxide is promoted; in addition, the ethanolamine has a certain volume and also has the functions of dispersing metal particles, inhibiting the agglomeration and growth of the metal particles and the like, so that the ethanolamine added into the metal ion solution is beneficial to the uniform dispersion and deposition of the metal ions in the TNTA.

(5) The invention has the obvious characteristic that the silver oxide and the copper hydroxide are deposited by adopting a chemical precipitation process for many times, so that the deposition dispersion uniformity of the deposit in the TNTA can be improved.

(6) The invention is characterized in that the titanium oxide nanotube array is adopted to prepare the photoelectrochemical detection electrode. The titanium oxide nanotube array has a large specific surface area and a highly ordered tubular structure, which is beneficial to improving the response signal intensity of the electrode.

The testing principle of the photoelectrochemical detection electrode prepared by the invention is as follows:

titanium oxide is a semiconductor material, when the titanium oxide is irradiated by light, electron-hole pairs are generated, electrons and holes are separated, the holes are transferred to the surface of the titanium oxide, the holes on the surface of the titanium oxide react with water molecules or hydroxyl radicals to be consumed due to the oxidation performance of the holes, and the electrons are transferred to an external circuit to form a photocurrent. The magnitude of the photocurrent is closely related to the consumption rate of holes, and factors such as the type of metal and the modification method affect the surface state of the electrode, so that the selectivity of the electrode and the photocurrent (the consumption rate of holes) are changed.

The Ag-Cu/Ag-TNTA electrode can be used for photoelectrochemical detection of permanganate and dopamine. When dopamine exists in the detection solution, the dopamine is easily oxidized, so that the consumption of photogenerated holes on the surface of the electrode is accelerated, and the photocurrent is increased. When permanganate radicals exist in the detection solution, the permanganate radicals have strong oxidizing property and carry negative charges, and the permanganate radicals can be adsorbed on the surface of an electrode to block and inhibit the oxidation reaction of holes, so that the photocurrent is reduced. The more the amount of permanganate and dopamine is, the stronger the corresponding influence effect is, and the larger the change of photocurrent is, so that the detection of the permanganate and dopamine can be realized.
