A Dimode Scattering Method for Ultratrace Dinitrofuran Detection with Nanopalladium Molecularly Imprinted Polymer Nanocatalytic Probe

Abstract

With four nanoparticles as the nanomatrix, dinotefuran (DNF) as the template molecule, N-isopropylacrylamide as the functional monomer, trimethylolpropane and trimethacrylate as the cross-linker, four nanosurface molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) bifunctional probes were prepared by microwave synthesis. It was found that palladium nanosurface MIP (Pd@MIP) not only recognized DNF but also had the strongest catalytic effect on the new nanogold indicator reaction of acrylic acid-HAuCl 4 , which was evaluated quickly with the slope procedure developed by us. The generated gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) not only possessed the resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) effect but also strong surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) activity. The combination of Pd@MIP with DNF enhanced the catalytic effect by coupling the nanosurface electrons with π-electrons, thus enhancing both scattering signals. A new Pd@MIP nanoprobe catalytic-SERS/RRS dual-mode analytical platform was developed for the specific and sensitive detection of DNF. The linear ranges of the SERS and RRS methods were 0.075−0.75 and 0.1−0.75 nmol/ L, and the limits of detection were 0.03 and 0.06 nmol/L, respectively. The standard deviations were 0.54−2.39%, and the recoveries were 93−105%.
