Synthesis and Application of Dendritic Fibrous Nanosilica/Gold Hybrid Nanomaterials.

ABSTRACT: Morphologically unique silica nanoparticles can be used as effective templates to prepare silica-metal hybrid nanomaterials, which are highly applicable in a variety of areas. Mesoporous silica nanoparticles, which have high surface areas and an abundance of pores, can be used to synthesize mesoporous silica core-metal shell nanostructures with catalytically active sites. In this work, dendritic fibrous nanosilica (DFNS) with a high surface area is successfully employed as a template to synthesize DFNS/Au hybrid nanomaterials. Au nanodots are initially synthesized through the selective reduction of Au ions on the surface of the DFNS after surface modification to form DFNS/Au dots. A seed-mediated growth method is used to controllably grow Au nanoparticles on the DFNS/Au dots to generate DFNS core-Au nanoparticles shell nanohybrids (DFNS/Au NPs) and DFNS core-Au layer shell nanohybrids (DFNS/Au layers). The catalytic activities of DFNS/Au NPs and DFNS/Au layers in the 4-nitrophenol reduction reaction are compared.

Project description:During the twentieth century, ractopamine (RAC) as one of the important and frequently used feed additives and doping agents has attracted considerable attention in the animal breeding industry and sports competitions. Due to the low metabolism rate of RAC, it is accumulated in livestock tissues. By consuming food, the residues enter the human body causing hazardous side effects including tachycardia, palpitations, and headache. So, sensitive identification of this compound is desirable to combat illicit use and protect food safety. Here, a novel nanomaterial is manufactured based on the functionalization of dendritic fibrous nanosilica with dipenicillamine (KCC-1-NH-DPA). Synthesised advanced nanomaterial was used for the encapsulation of specific DNA-aptamer and incubated on the surface of gold electrode modified by poly(β-cyclodextrin) P(β-CD) which provided the high surface area, excellent mechanical and thermal stability for the dens-loading of encapsulated aptamer. The green platform was provided an efficient apta-platform for the specific recognition of RAC in human biofluids. Electroanalysis of RAC was performed based on "signal ON" protocol. The modified gold electrode by P(β-CD)-(KCC-1-NH-DPA) was used to improve the conductivity and function of the aptasensor towards sensitive identification of RAC in human real sample. Cyclic voltammetry, differential voltammetry, square wave voltammetry, and chronoamperometry techniques were exploited for the measurement of RAC in the concentration range of 0.1 fM to 0.1 mM. Furthermore, the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) of engineered aptasensor was obtained as 0.1 fM. It is worth noting that the proposed electrochemical aptasensor showed excellent stability, selectivity and performance in standard and human plasma samples. It is important to point out that, synergetic effect of DFNS with high surface to volume, P(β-CD) as conductive substrate and selective aptamer in the fabricated biodevice lead to highly sensitive and selective biosensor for the biomedical analysis of clinical samples. This platform will be provide a new horizon for the application of advanced nanomaterials in biomedical science based POC analysis.
