Mo5N6 nanosheets for fluorescent quenching and target recognition: Highly selectively sensing of sodium hexametaphosphate
Talanta(2024)
Abstract
Typical fluorescent biosensors use fluorescently labeled ssDNA for target recognition and nanomaterials for signal transduction. Herein, we propose a reverse sensing strategy that Mo5N6 nanosheets are used for target recognition while fluorescein (FAM)-labeled ssDNA only serves for signal generation. We discover that Mo5N6 nanosheets show high fluorescence quenching ability (>95%) and selective recognition for sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP). After FAM-labeled ssDNA is adsorbed on Mo5N6 nanosheets, the fluorescence is quenched due to the photoinduced electron transfer (PET) effect between FAM and Mo5N6 nanosheets. SHMP can specifically displace the adsorbed FAM-labeled ssDNA from Mo5N6 nanosheets, resulting in more than 80% fluorescence recovery on addition of 5 μmol L−1 SHMP. This biosensor can sensitively detect SHMP down to 150 nmol L−1 and selectively recognize SHMP over glucose, lactose, common amino acids, Zn2+, Mg2+, Ca2+ and other phosphates (such as Na2HPO4, sodium pyrophosphate, sodium tripolyphosphate). This biosensor also shows great potential for the detection of SHMP in bacon sample. This work not only provides a facile sensitive and selective biosensor for SHMP but also exploits the application of transition metal nitrides in the field of sensing and biosensing.
