Abstract:
To develop a convenient method for simultaneous detection of As(III/V), Cr(III/VI), and Fe(II/III), three morphologies of CeO2 oxidase have been prepared. Based on the difference in oxidase activity and binding ability with substrate TMB of CeO2 of different morphologies, a 3 (Signal unit) × 6 (Target number) × 5 (Repetition) sensor array was constructed to realize simultaneous detection of six variable valence metal ions As(III/V), Cr(III/VI), and Fe(II/III). The lowest detection limit of the array for metal ions was 1.68 µg/L. The analysis of environmental samples with multiple metal ions (binary and ternary mixtures) co-existing has confirmed that the sensor array can achieve simultaneous qualitative and quantitative results for composite samples. This study not only revealed the influencing factors of crystal morphology regulation on oxidase activity, but also provided a scheme for the morphology detection of easily convertible metal ions in the field through the construction of the sensor array.
