- Abstract
- A sensitive on-site mercury sensing platform was developed for simple and effective monitoring of mercury levels in the field. The simple and practical mercury detection system was designed by integrating an Au nanoparticle-PEG hydrogel block nanozyme (Au-HBNz) into a polymer film-based colorimetric device. Upon addition of Hg2+ ions, Au-HBNz exhibited excellent peroxidase-like activity, catalyzing the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine into a blue-colored product, which has a maximum absorbance at 652 nm. The resulting color intensity change was evaluated using a smartphone for simple and rapid Hg2+ detection with a broad detection range (0.008–20 μg∙mL−1) and a linear concentration–response relationship (R2 = 0.96). The detection limit (1.10 ng∙mL−1) was lower than the maximum permissible Hg2+ levels in drinking water set by the World Health Organization (6 ng∙mL−1) and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (2 ng∙mL−1). The recoveries of Hg2+ determination in river water by spiking Hg2+ samples ranged from 92 to 106%, which indicated high validity and applicability of the Hg2+ detection system for field measurements. Thus, the developed sensor enables highly selective and efficient real-time monitoring of Hg2+.
