Abstract:

Three Hg2+ chemosensors were prepared by immobilizing a Rhodamine B(RhB) derivative on hexagonal mesoporous silica(HMS) via 3-aminopropyl-triethoxysilane(APTES), 3-(triethoxysilyl)propylisocyanate(Tri) and gold nanoparticles, respectively. The prepared chemosensors were characterized by scanning electron microscopy(SEM), transmission electron microscopy(TEM), N2 physical adsorption-desorption and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR). Further fluorescence spectra of chemosensors in sensing Hg2+ was detected. The results show that the immobilization process of Rhodamine B(RhB) is very successful and all of the chemosensors have Hg2+ detection ability. Moreover, the morphology and channel structure of the chemosensors have effects on the detection ability, that is, RhB-Au-HMS with intact morphology and wormlike channel structure has the most powerful detection ability and RhB-APTES-HMS with the collapsed channel structure has the weakest detection ability.

Key words: Chemosensor, Hexagonal mesoporous silica(HMS), Detection of Hg2+, Rhodamine B
