ABSTRACT
Chlorpyrifos (CPS) is widely found in food and water sources due to agricultural use, posing health and environmental risks. Therefore, this work introduces a fluorescent sensor design of silver nanoparticle-embedded nano zirconium-based metal-organic frameworks (UiO-66-NH2@AgNPs) for accurate examination of CPS. Briefly, UiO-66-NH2 was synthesized hydrothermally, exhibiting weak luminescence owed to ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT). Here, it limits its direct utility in fluorescence-based detection. To address this limitation, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were introduced into UiO-66-NH2, enhancing fluorescence via the metal-enhanced fluorescence (MEF) effect. Briefly, a comprehensive spectral analysis such as XPS, SEM, TEM, PXRD, etc., was performed to validate the synthesis of UiO-66-NH2@AgNPs. Subsequent evaluation revealed that CPS effectively quenched the luminescence intensity of UiO-66-NH2@AgNPs through a static quenching mechanism. The fluorescence intensity exhibited good linearity with CPS concentration in the span of 10 to 1,000 ng/mL, with a recognition limit of 191.5 ng/mL(S/N = 3). The interaction involved Ag-S bond formation and electrostatic interactions, reducing fluorescence intensity. The method was confirmed through successful CPS detection in fruit samples. The UiO-66-NH2@AgNPs nanoprobe offers a simple, sensitive, and accurate platform for CPS sensing, with potential for future use in detecting CPS in fruits and vegetables.
