ABSTRACT
A colorimetric method is described for the determination of As(III). It is based on the use of 3-mercaptopropionic acid (3-MPA) assisted active site and interlayer channel dual-masking of oxidase-like Fe-Co-layered double hydroxides (Fe-Co-LDH). The Fe-Co-LDH acts as an oxidase-mimicking nanozyme with high activity. It catalyzes the oxidation of colorless 3,3'5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to form a blue product (oxTMB) with an absorption maximum at 652 nm. It is found that As(III) firmly anchors onto the Fe* sites of the 3-MPA-modified Fe-Co-LDH via forming a stable FeâAs(III)â3-MPAâAs(III)âFe structure. This results in masking the active sites and interlayer channels of the Fe-Co-LDH nanozyme. As a result, the presence of As(III) as well as 3-MPA specifically inhibit the LDH-catalyzed chromogenic reaction. Based on the above principle, a colorimetric assay was designed for the determination of As(III). It provided linear response in the 0.10~8.33 µM As(III) concentration range and a detection limit as low as 35 nM. The assay was applied to the quantitation of As(III), even in the presence of potential interferents including As(V), Hg(II) and Pb(II), in environmental and drinking water samples. Graphical abstractSchematic illustration of the As(III) sensing mechanism based on 3-mercaptopropionic acid (3-MPA) assisted active site and interlayer channel dual-masking of Fe-Co-layered double hydroxides (Fe-Co-LDH) with oxidase-like activity. 3-MPA with sulfhydryl and carboxyl groups can assist As(III) to firmly anchor onto the Fe* sites inside the interlayer channels of the Fe-Co-LDH via forming a FeâAs(III)â3-MPAâAs(III)âFe structure, thus selectively resulting in a significant suppression of the chromogenic reaction.
