Abstract

Paper-based sensing platform is a point of need analytical toolkit for safety testing. However, the sensitivity, specificity, and simplicity are still challenging. Herein, we report a novel strategy (Au/δ-MnO₂ hollow nanosphere and 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) induced test strips for signal-on detection) that can be utilized for hexavalent chromium (Cr⁶⁺) detection. Interestingly, Cr⁶⁺ (CrO₄²⁻) as a smart switch can remarkably enhance the oxidase-like activity of Au/δ-MnO₂ hollow nanosphere. The presence of Cr⁶⁺ can regulate the surface electronic redistribution of Au/δ-MnO₂ and adjust the geometric configuration, which leads to the improvement in oxidase-like activity of Au/δ-MnO₂. As a proof-of-concept application, a visual paper-based sensing platform of Cr⁶⁺ along with quantitative analysis by the test strips was successfully constructed. This paper-based sensing platform exhibits a linear range with excellent selectivity for other interfering substances and lower limit of detection of 0.09 μmol·L⁻¹, providing a promising toolkit at-home Cr⁶⁺ measurement and environmental monitoring.
