Carbon nitride (CN) nanosheets are known as peroxidase mimics, but the low activity hinders their further application. Embedding active metal nanoparticles onto the CN nanosheets is expected to break this limitation. Herein, highly dispersed ultrasmall Ru nanoparticles are anchored onto the CN through spontaneous redox reaction. The as-obtained Ru-CN exhibits excellent peroxidase-like activity, which can be further regulated by adjusting the loading of Ru nanoparticles on CN. Using Ru-CN as a mimetic peroxidase, a colorimetric sensing method for alkaline phosphatase (ALP) detection is developed based on the inhibitory effect of ascorbic acid produced by hydrolysis of ALP and l-ascorbic acid 2-phosphate (AAP) on the color development reaction of TMB catalyzed by Ru-CN. The sensor exhibits wide linear range and low detection limit for the ALP sensing. Finally, the assay is applied to ALP detection in human serum and satisfactory results are obtained, which provides a promising strategy for colorimetric sensing of ALP.
