Due to the simultaneous activation of hydrogen peroxide (HO) and oxygen, Ru nanocrystals exhibit inherent peroxidase- and oxidase-like activities, thereby limiting their extensive application in biosensing. Phase engineering of Ru nanocrystals holds great promise for enhancing catalytic activity and selectivity but remains a challenge. Here, highly active Ru nanocrystals with a metastable face-centered cubic (fcc) structure were successfully synthesized via a facile wet-chemical method followed by an etching step, enabling selective activation of HO and demonstrating promising peroxidase-like activity.

Article Synopsis
  • There's an urgent need for effective methods to monitor acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity and organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) to protect human health and the environment.
  • Nanozyme-based colorimetry is a promising technique due to its cost-effectiveness, ease of use, and quick results, although designing highly specific nanozymes is challenging.
  • A new type of Bi-doped core-shell Pd@Pt mesoporous nanosphere has been developed, showing enhanced activity for AChE detection and exceptional sensitivity for OP detection at very low levels, making it a strong candidate for future biosensor applications.

The study was to understand the effect of the partial substitution of NaCl by KCl on small molecular metabolites and sensory quality of Xuanwei ham. Thirty green hams were randomly divided into five treatments, and salted with 100% NaCl (I), 70% NaCl+30% KCl (II), 60% NaCl+40% KCl (III), 50% NaCl+50% KCl (IV) and 40% NaCl+60% KCl (V), respectively. With the increase of KCl substitution, the moisture content of Xuanwei ham increased.
