Self-reduction gold@platinum bimetallic nanoparticles on Ti3C2Tx MXene nanoribbons coupled with hydrogel and smartphone for colorimetric detection of silver ions

In recent years, although there are several interesting colorimetric methods developed for the detection of silver ions (Ag+), the simple, sensitive, real-time and quantitative sensing platform is still lacking. Herein, by using Ti3C2Tx MXene nanoribbon (Ti3C2TxNR) as the carrier, gold@platinum (Au@Pt) bimetallic nanoparticles were firstly decorated on the Ti3C2TxNR surface via a facile self-reduction method, and the formed Au@Pt-Ti3C2TxNR nanohybrid can catalyze effectively the oxidation reaction of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (colorless) to generate blue substance (oxTMB), displaying prominent peroxidase-activity. In the presence of Ag+, it can pose remarkable inhibiting effect again the catalytical activity of Au@Pt-Ti3C2TxNR and stop the generation of oxTMB. Based on this, the as-obtained Au@Pt-Ti3C2TxNR nanozyme was then introduced to construct a novel colorimetric sensing platform of Ag+ with low detection limit (1.57 nM) and wide linearity (5.0 nM - 9.0 μM). In addition, by combining the unique advantages of the hydrogel and smartphone, a simple, real-time and quantitative platform of Ag+ monitoring was also constructed, exhibiting important applications for Ag+ detection.
