A dual-functional halloysite nanotube-based nanoprobe for the detection and removal of hypochlorite

Abstract

A turn-on fluorescent nanoprobe was developed by grafting a coumarin-based fluorophore onto halloysite nanotubes. This probe can be used for both rapid detection and efficient removal of ClO− in pure aqueous solution.

“…The researchers fixed coumarin-based fluorophores on HNTs and developed a nanoprobe to analyze and remove chlorate in aqueous solutions. 155 The high aspect ratio of HNTs allows them to enter cells and an interaction between halochromic switch (1Cl) and HNTs was used to synthesize a fluorescent probe. The protonated ring-opened form of the probe significantly increased in an acidic cellular The ethanol suspension of HNTs were sprayed onto the silicone slide of the sensor The highest sensitivity is 10431 nm/RIU, and the enhancement factor is 5.6 times.…”

The protonated ring-opened form of the probe significantly increased in an acidic cellular environment, which could distinguish tumor cells from normal cells.…”
