A robust covalent coupling scheme for the development of FRET aptasensor based on amino-silane modified graphene oxide
摘要： In recent years, numerous aptamers have been physisorbed on graphene oxide (GO) to develop FRET based aptasensors based on the high fluorescence quenching efficiency of GO. However, physisorbed aptasensors show poor signal reversibility and reproducibility as well as nonspecific probe displacement and thereby, are not suitable for many analytical applications. To overcome these problems when working with complex biological samples, we developed a facile and robust covalent surface functionalization technique for GO-based fluorescent aptasensors using a well studied adenosine triphosphate (ATP) binding aptamer (ABA). In the scheme, GO is first modified with amino-silane, and further with glutaraldehyde to create available carbonyl groups for the covalent attachment of a fluorophore and an amino dual modified ABA. The surface modification method was characterized by zeta potential, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The linearity, sensitivity, selectivity and reversibility of the resulting GO based covalent aptasensor was determined and systematically compared with the physisorbed aptasensor. While both sensors showed similar performance in terms of sensitivity and linearity, better selectivity and higher resistance to nonspecific probe displacement was achieved with the developed covalent ABA sensor. The surface modification technique developed here is independent from the aptamer sequence and therefore could be used universally for different analytical applications simply by changing the aptamer sequence for the target biomolecule.

Orientation-Controlled Bioconjugation of Antibodies to Silver Nanoparticles
摘要： Here we report on the use of heterobifunctional cross-linkers (HBCLs) to control the number, orientation, and activity of immunoglobulin G antibodies (Abs) conjugated to silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). A hydrazone conjugation method resulted in exclusive modification of the polysaccharide chains present on the fragment crystallizable region of the Abs, leaving the antigen-binding regions accessible. Two HBCLs, each having a hydrazide terminal group, were synthesized and tested for effectiveness. The two HBCLs differed in two respects, however: (1) either a thiol or a dithiolane group was used for attachment to the AgNP; and (2) the spacer arm was either a PEG chain or an alkyl chain. Both cross-linkers immobilized 5 ± 1 Abs on the surface of each 20-nm-diameter AgNP. Electrochemical results, obtained using a half-metalloimmunoassay, proved that Abs conjugated to AgNPs via either of the two HBCLs were 4 times more active than those conjugated by the more common physisorption technique. This finding confirmed that the HBCLs exerted orientational control over the Abs. We also demonstrated that the AgNP-HBCL-Ab conjugates were stable and active for at least 2 weeks. Finally, we found that the stability of the HBCLs themselves was related to the nature of their spacer arms. Specifically, the results showed that the HBCL having the alkyl chain is chemically stable for at least 90 days, making it the preferred cross-linker for bioassays.

Physisorption induced p-xylene gas-sensing performance of (C4H9NH3)2PbI4 layered perovskite
摘要： A novel organic-inorganic layered perovskite compound (C4H9NH3)2PbI4 has been synthesized through a simple and high-yield solution method. For the first time, this layered perovskite was used as a candidate material for gas sensors. Gas sensors based on (C4H9NH3)2PbI4 provided unique gas-sensing properties toward 1 - 800 ppm p-xylene (p-C8H10) at the working temperature of 140 °C, including fast response, quick response-recovery, good selectivity and repeatability. The as-prepared (C4H9NH3)2PbI4 gas sensor can detect as low as 1 ppm concentration of p-xylene with a response of 11.8 at 140 °C. In situ diffuse reflectance Fourier transform infrared (DRFTIR) measurement shows that the p-xylene sensing mechanism can be mainly attributed to physical adsorption, which is different from other common gas-sensing metal oxides that are based on adsorption-redox-desorption mechanism.

Switching excitonic recombination and carrier trapping in cesium lead halide perovskites by air
摘要： All-inorganic cesium lead halide perovskites have been emerging as the promising semiconductor materials for next-generation optoelectronics. However, the fundamental question of how the environmental atmosphere affects their photophysical properties, which is closely related to the practical applications, remains elusive. Here, we report the dynamic switching between radiative exciton recombination and non-radiative carrier trapping in CsPbBr3 by controlling the atmospheric conditions. Specifically, we show that the photoluminescence (PL) intensity from the CsPbBr3 crystals can be boosted by ~ 60 times by changing the surrounding from vacuum to air. Based on the comprehensive optical characterization, near-ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (NAP-XPS) as well as density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we unravel that the physisorption of oxygen molecules, which repairs the trap states by passivating the PL-quenching bromine vacancies, is accountable for the enhanced PL in air. These results are helpful for better understanding the optical properties of all-inorganic perovskites.
