Abstract
Trace iodine (I2) radioisotopes are commonly regarded as an indicator in nuclear security early warnings. Herein, we develop a visualized I2 real-time monitoring system using electrochemiluminescence (ECL) imaging technology for the first time. In detail, the polymers based on poly [(9,9-dioctylfluorene-alkenyl-2,7-diyl)-alt-co-(1,4-benzo-{2,1’,3}-thiadiazole)] are synthesized for iodine detection. An ultra-low limit of detection (0.01 ppt) to iodine can be achieved by adding the modification ratio of tertiary amine onto PFBT as a co-reactive group, which is the lowest detection limit in known iodine vapor sensors. This result can be attributed to the co-reactive group poisoning response mechanism. Considering to the strong ECL behavior of this polymer dots, P-3 Pdots with ultra-low detection limit for iodine is combined with ECL imaging technology to realize the visualized rapid I2 vapor response with high selectivity. ECL imaging component based on ITO electrode can make iodine monitoring system more convenient and suitable for real-time detection in early warning of nuclear emergency. The detection result cannot be affected by vapor of organic compounds, humidity and temperature, indicating a good selectivity to iodine. This work provides a strategy for nuclear emergency early warning, showing its significance in environmental and nuclear security fields.
