Nowadays, arsenic (III) contamination of drinking water is a global issue. Laboratory and instrument-based techniques are typically used to detect arsenic in water, with an accuracy of 1 ppb. However, such detection methods require a laboratory-based environment, skilled labor, and additional costs for setup. As a result, several metal-based nanoparticles have been studied to prepare a cost-effective and straightforward detector for arsenic (III) ions. Among the developed strategies, colorimetric detection is one of the simplest methods to detect arsenic (III) in water. Several portable digital detection technologies make nanoparticle-based colorimetric detectors useful for on-site arsenic detection.

C1. Introduction

Globally, intake of arsenic (III) and arsenic (V) ions via food and drinking water has dramatically increased, as per several recent reports [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. Approximately 200 million people worldwide are affected by arsenic toxicity [9]. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), arsenic in drinking water at a concentration of >10 ppb is highly unsafe to community health [10][11]. Arsenic comes to the groundwater surface via magmatism and periodic erosion [12][13][14]. In addition, several human activities are also responsible for raising the concentration of arsenic levels in groundwater. Industries that discharge effluents with arsenic into the soil or natural water resources include those involved in agrochemicals, pesticides, wood processes, and preservatives [15][16][17].
In general, inorganic arsenite and arsenate salts are naturally present in groundwater. A small amount of arsenic comes from organic compounds, such as dimethyl arsenic acid, dithioarsenate, and monomethyl arsenic acid [18][19]. Arsenic may present in four oxidation states, e.g., −3, 0, +3, and +5. Out of these, the trivalent and pentavalent forms of arsenic species are harmful to animals and plants [20][21]. The toxicity may vary with the type of exposure and oxidation state of arsenic. In particular, trivalent arsenic species are more toxic than pentavalent arsenic species [9][22]. Long-term arsenic exposure causes a variety of diseases, including arsenicosis, hemolysis, cancer, neurological disorders, and painful patches on the hands and feet [20][23]. Therefore, arsenic (III) concentrations in drinking water should be measured to avoid any harm to living organisms. Many detection methodologies have been adopted to measure arsenic levels in water steam, such as Raman spectroscopy (RS) [24], the fontal chromatography–ICP–MS method (FC–ICP–MS) [25], total reflection X-ray fluorescence (TXRF) spectrometry [26], Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) [27], electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS) [28], inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy (ICP–MS) [29], laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) [30], and atomic fluorescence spectroscopy (AFS) [31], all of which are sufficient to detect arsenic. In addition, chemisorbent resins provide a new approach to arsenic speciation [32]. However, these instrument-based strategies require a managed lab environment, a long operating time, trained labor, and pure chemicals [33].
Moreover, instruments that require electrical power and additional services have restricted use for on-site applications [34]. Therefore, a cheap and facile method, such as colorimetric detection of arsenic in water, can be an effective alternative. recent decades, researchers have explored metal nanoparticles (alone or in combination) based on colorimetric detectors to overcome the sensing system’s drawbacks. Specifically, gold nanoparticles, silver nanoparticles, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and metal graphene nanocomposites are extensively employed to fabricate arsenic sensors [35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42]. These colorimetric sensors can detect arsenic (III) ions efficiently in an aqueous medium. Metal nanostructures have excellent properties for the colorimetric determination of arsenic. However, these need significant improvement for practical applications.

2. Colorimetric Sensing of Arsenic

In terms of ease of signal transduction, colorimetric analysis of arsenic has become the most practically applicable method. The Gutzeit method is one of the most commonly used methods for colorimetric analyses of arsenic. This method was employed to develop arsenic field test kits [43]. Although the Gutzeit method-based technique is economical, it produces toxic arsine gas as by-products. The molybdenum blue is also frequently used to detect arsenic in water samples. The molybdenum blue-based method is specific to arsenic (V); the interaction between arsenic (V) and reduced molybdenum resulted in the appearance of the blue color [44]. Therefore, the molybdenum blue could differentiate arsenic (V) and arsenic (III). Researchers explored metal nanostructure-based materials to make arsenic colorimetric sensors more sensitive, rapid, precise, economical, and efficient. Mainly, metal nanostructures-based sensors have been used to elaborate on a fundamental principle of color conversion, studied for colorimetric detection of arsenic solution [41]. This paper discusses the potential of metal-based nanoparticles for arsenic detection.

2.1. Gold-Based Nanoparticles

Scientists have focused extensively on developing gold nanoparticle (AuNP)-based sensors to detect arsenic in water samples. Recently, gold-modified lauryl sulfate nanoparticles with a limit of detection (LOD) of 2 ppb were reported for colorimetric sensing of arsenic (III), using localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) [45]. The LSPR band shifted due to the color change of AuNPs—i.e., pink to blue—with arsenic (III) ions due to the inter-particle coupling effect. Lauryl sulfate acts as a capping agent of AuNPs and is aggregated and replaced by the arsenic contaminant. The modification of AuNP surfaces with sulfur-containing compounds is highly beneficial in enhancing AuNP-based colorimetric sensors’ sensitivity; arsenic generally displays the intrinsic property of a potent binding affinity for sulfur-containing compounds. Therefore, glutathione (GSH), dithiothreitol (DTT), cysteine (Cys), and 2,6-pyridine dicarboxylic acid (PDCA) [GSH-DTT-CYs-PDCA]-functionalized AuNPs can detect arsenic (III) in water [46]. Arsenic (III) has a strong affinity for these ligands [47][48]. Arsenic (III) ions can interact with 3 DTT-conjugated gold nanoparticles through an As-S bond, as shown in Figure 1A–F [49]. However, there is no free SH group available for binding with arsenic (III) ions in the case of GSH- or Cys-conjugated gold nanoparticles. Figure 1G,H shows the colorimetric response of GSH/DTT/Cys-modified gold nanoparticles after the addition of arsenic (III) [49]. The addition of PDCA improved the test selectivity for arsenic (III) ions much more because PDCA could not interact with gold nanoparticles through the SH linkage in the same way as DTT, GSH, and Cys (Figure 1I,J) [49].

Moreover, it exhibited a LOD of 1 ppb, which is less than the allowable limit (as per Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) guidelines) of arsenic. Eco-friendly glucose-functionalized gold nanoparticles are also sufficient for the colorimetric detection of arsenic (III) in water [41]. The glucose-functionalized AuNPs exhibited an LOD of 0.53 ppb. Hydroxyl groups of glucose interacted with gold particles and formed chemical bonds, stabilising gold nanoparticles and reducing the inter-particle distance among the nanoparticles. The color of nanoparticles changes depending on their inter-particle distance. Glucose-functionalized gold nanoparticles showed a red color, but this changed sharply to blue with arsenic [41].
Moreover, citrate-capped gold nanoparticles showed a detection limit for arsenic (III) ions that was lower than 10 ppb due to more interaction of citrates ion with arsenic (III) ions [50]. Additionally, Mangifera indica Leaf Extract mediated AuNPs can detect arsenic at a limit of 1.2 ppb by the colorimetric detection technique. The leaf extract of the Mangifera indica acted as a reducing and stabilizing agent [51]. Encapsulation of gold Mangifera indica flower extract can detect arsenic (III) ions in water at optimum conditions [52]. Using LC–MS/MS, the authors reported that Mangifera indica flower extract contains more mangiferin (977 ppb) than 3-hydroxy flavone (4 ppb). As shown in Figure 2, the theoretical study shows that the mangiferin and 3-hydroxy flavone present in Mangifera indica flower extract are responsible for detecting arsenic in aqueous media [52].

However, glutathione-functionalized gold nanoparticles in RGB can carry out a fast colorimetric detection of arsenic (III) [53]. The detection limit of arsenic was 0.12 ppb, with a detection accuracy of around 2%. As shown in Figure 3, GSH-functionalized AuNPs displayed excellent selectivity towards arsenic (III) ion in a water medium. Arsenic ions bind to GSH ligands, causing AuNP aggregation and a rapid color change in the solution [53].

2.2. Silver-Based Nanoparticles

Silver nanoparticles provide a rapid response to localized surface plasmon resonance compared to gold nanoparticles with enhanced sensitivity [54]. As in AuNPs, various capping agents have been exploited to construct silver nanoparticles for sensitive and selective sensing of arsenic. PEG-functionalized silver nanoparticles’ are well-suited for detecting arsenic (III) ions in an aqueous medium [40]. The PEG-modified silver nanoparticles are sufficient enough to detect arsenic (III) in 1 ppb due to the addition of PEG. In addition, PEG-functionalized silver nanoparticles have adjustable negative surface charges, responsible for the stability of nanoparticles, and the electrostatic repulsion between negatively charged surfaces of silver nanoparticle protects them from accumulation.
Interestingly, in the presence of arsenic (III), these functional silver nanoparticles interacted with PEG hydroxyl groups, which led to the aggregation of silver nanoparticles [55]. As a result, the color of functionalized nanoparticles changed from yellow to bluish [40], as shown in Figure 4. Additionally, arsenic in Aptamer-AgNP solution remarkably decreases the absorbance peak due to the formation of the As–Aptamer–AgNPs complex. This testing method indicates highly selective detection of arsenic (III) ions with a LOD of 6 ppb and a linear range of 50 to 700 ppb [56].

AgNPs functionalized with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) have a significant affinity for arsenic (III) ions, as adding arsenic (III) ions to PVP-AgNP improved electrostatic interactions and morphological changes in nanoparticles. The UV–Vis spectra of AgNPs with different concentrations of arsenic (III) ions are shown in Figure 5 [57]. In addition, silver nanoplates (AgNPls) changed color quickly in the presence of arsenic (III) and arsenic (V). Ferrihydrite-coated silica gel has improved the selectivity of AgNPs towards arsenic (V) (SiO2-Fh). The AgNP-SiO2-Fh Acomposites can detect arsenic in concentrations ranging from 500 to 30000 ppb [58].

The plasmon band, and hence the color of the nanomaterials, changes in a distinct manner, where a specific color remains unchanged in a broader range of growing concentrations such as: 10.0–80.0 μM: yellow, 90.0–100.0 μM: orange, 110.0–200.0 μM: dark red, 250.0–500.0 μM: purple, 750.0 μM to 2 mM: different shades of blue, 3–10 mM: faded blue, and above 10 mM the color becomes faint blue to grey or almost colorless [57].

Recently, multi-ligand-based AgNPs were studied to detect arsenic (III) using the colorimetric approach. It could be synthesized by the chemical reduction method using asparagine (Asn) as the capping agent and further alteration with reduced GSH and DTT. The synthesized GSH/DTT/Asn–AgNPs could be used as multifunctional probes for an multimodal arsenic assay (III) due to their outstanding plasmonic properties and characteristic electrochemical activity. This approach can detect arsenic even at a low concentration of 0.36 ppb [59].

2.3. Metal Oxide-Based Nanoparticles

Nanostructured transition metal oxides such as Fe3O4, MgO, TiO2, ZnO, NiO, SnO2, CeO2, MnO2, ZrO4, and NiWO4 are used for heavy metal sensing. Transition metals are usually economical, highly conductive, suitable adsorbents and highly stable [60]. Therefore, metal nanoparticles displayed excellent performances for the detection of arsenic (III) ions in water. For example, Fe3O4 nanoparticles bonded with gold ligands exhibited excellent selectivity and quick visual detection of arsenic. The Fe3O4 @Au-based colorimetric system exhibited a LOD of 0.86 ppb for arsenic (III) detection [61]. In another report, α-Fe2O3 was prepared from a waste banana peel extract because banana peel contains excessive polyphenols and flavonoids that act as reducing agents. Almost similar size (60 nm) nanoparticles were used to simultaneously detect and adsorb arsenic (V). The α-Fe2O3-based colorimetric sensor exhibited a LOD of 100 ppb for arsenic (V) [62]. The positive charge of nanoparticles facilitated the high adsorption of negatively charged arsenate ions due to electrostatic interaction. A schematic of the synthesis of α-Fe2O3 and its application in detecting arsenic (V) is shown in Figure 6 [62].

DNA-functionalized Fe3O4 nanoparticles showed significant affinity and selectivity towards arsenic and could be used to detect arsenic in water up to 0.95 ppb by the fluorescence quenching technique [63]. Furthermore, other nanoparticles, e.g., CeO2 nanoparticles, were modified with DNA to investigate arsenic levels [64]. The desorption of DNA from nanomaterials is caused by interactions between DNA-conjugated nanostructures and arsenic. The results showed that CeO2 nanoparticles had improved performances compared to Fe3O4, with the LOD nearly 10-fold less than Fe3O4 [64]. A novel CuInS2 quantum dots@magnetic Fe3O4 nanocomposite-based "turn off" nanosensor for arsenic detection was revealed. The CuInS2 quantum dots@magnetic Fe3O4 was able to detect at as low as 10 ppb [65]. A schematic illustration of the fabrication of CuInS2 quantum dots@magnetic Fe3O4 is shown in Figure 7.

Cobalt oxyhydroxide (CoOOH) nanoflakes showed significant arsenic detection efficiency in addition to iron oxide [66]. CoOOH nanoflakes show peroxidase-like activity, which produces a green-colored oxidation product in the presence of H2O2 and 2,2′-azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS). Interestingly, the green color was not observed in the presence of arsenic, as arsenic binds with CoOOH through electrostatic attraction and forms an As–O bond to inhibit peroxidase-like activity. Therefore, it can effectively detect arsenic in water using the colorimetric method with a LOD of 3.72 ppb [66].

2.4. Metal GO- or CNT-Based Nanoparticles

A variety of nano-scale carbon-based building blocks, including nanotubes, graphene and graphene oxide, have drawn significant interest as electrode materials for detection of heavy metals owing to their extraordinary physical and chemical properties, i.e., elevated surface area, high electrical conductivity, powerful mechanical strength, biocompatibility and low manufacturing costs [67][68]. Graphene oxide (GO) has a two-dimensional plane and many functional groups containing oxygen with the disorder on the basal planes and edges. The GO develop significant mechanical properties and chemical sensing activity [69]. Recently, a magnetic graphene quantum dot-based sensor (fluorescence probe) was reported as a highly sensitive and arsenic-selective material [70]. The fluorescent zinc oxide and CdS quantum dots (QDs) were revealed as arsenic sensor components by fluorescence spectroscopy [71][72]. A magnetic graphene quantum dot-based sensor yielded better outcomes than ZnO (QDs) and CDS (QDs) due to the presence of iron oxide, which offered more contact for the formation of the chelating complex with arsenic in the medium [70]. A research group has recently reported a highly selective and sensitive and cost-effective prism-based SPR sensor integrated with a hydrous ferric oxide-magnetite-reduced graphene oxide nanocomposite to detect arsenic ions at a detection limit of 0.1 ppb [73].

2.5. Metal-Organic Framework

The MOFs are essential in separation, drug delivery and catalysis fields [74]. The MOF shows the attractive hybrid characteristic of organic bridging ligands and metal particulates in a framework that displays a larger surface area [75]. The large surface area of MOFs offers multiple channels for guest molecules to enter and interact with the framework. This phenomenon is quite helpful for trapping targeted pollutants effectively and fulfils the requirement of detection and removal of contaminates. The intrinsic open pore structure and extensive channels can encourage the quick diffusion and transportation of targeted pollutants, thus ensuring a rapid response time, selective detection and fast kinetics [76]. Hence, MOF materials are becoming promising candidates for sensing and removing arsenic simultaneously [77]. Several recent studies have shown MOFs’ proper function and composites to detect and remove arsenic [78][79]. Figure 8 illustrates a modification of MOFs to coordinate arsenic (V) moieties at the node [78]. Therefore, amino-decorated MOF products are interesting.

The amino-functionalized iron-based MOFs showed good selectivity for arsenic (III) identification. The most frequently observed MOF structure warped after coming into contact with water. High-valance metal ions such as Cr (III), Zr (IV), Fe (III), and Al (III) were used to build chemically stable coordination bonds to improve the water stability of ligand-based carboxylate MOF. The introduction of ligands with hydrophobic functionality such as methyl, ethyl, and trifluoromethyl is important to protect metal bodies from hydrolysis [80][81]. Therefore, two organic tritopic carboxylic acids with methyl and ethyl groups, dimethyl-5′-(4(methoxycarbonyl)phenyl)-2′,4′,6′-trimethyl-[1,1′:3′,1′′-terphenyl]-4,4′′-dicarboxylic acid (H3CTTA) and dimethyl-2′,4′,6′-triethyl-5′-(4-(methoxycarbonyl) phenyl)-[1,1′,3’,1′′-terphenyl] -4,4′′-dicarboxylic acid (H3CETA) were synthesized. Then, both H3CTTA and H3CETA were reacted with aluminium nitrate in DMF solvent, respectively. The materials derived from this reaction were observed to be extremely porous and labeled Al-MOF (CTTA) and Al-MOF (CETA). Al-MOF (CTTA) exhibited an improved detection efficiency to arsenic (III) from roxarsone (ROX) and nitrosone (NIT) [80].
The above information has been summarized in Table 1 to compare the colorimetric detection performances of nanoparticles.
