MXene material has been studied in recent years due to its interesting characteristics. This study developed a novel MXene-derived quantum dots (MQDs) @gold nanobones (Au NBs) heterostructure as an electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor, with Au NBs enhancing the ECL signal and controlling electron injection into MQDs, leading to efficient and amplified luminous signal generation. The heterostructure-based ECL sensing system was used for miRNA-26a detection in triple-negative breast cancer patients, providing insights for green MXene synthesis and application guidance for MQD@Au NBs in ECL sensing.
MXene material has been gradually studied in recent years due to its fascinating characteristics. This work developed a novel MXene-derived quantum dots (MQDs) @gold nanobones (Au NBs) heterostructure as the electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor. First, MXene and MQDs were synthesized via the green preparation process, which avoided the harm of hydrofluoric acid to humans and the environment. There was a strong ECL signal enhancement in the MQD@Au NBs heterostructure. On the one hand, Au NBs with surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect acted as an electronic regulator that can transfer electrons to itself to control over-injection of electrons into the conduction band of MQDs. The luminous signal of MQDs can be efficiently generated and significantly amplified in the ECL sensing process. On the other hand, the work function of MQDs with excellent conductivity was relatively close to that of Au NBs in the heterostructure. So, ECL quenching caused by short-distance electron transfer between luminophore and Au nanomaterial has been effectively suppressed. The MQD@Au NBs heterostructure-based ECL sensing system was applied to determine miRNA-26a in the serum of patients with triple-negative breast cancer. It not only provides ideas for the green synthesis of MXene but also provides a guide for the application of MQD@Au NBs heterostructure in the field of ECL sensing.
