Single-atom nanozymes (SANs) can significantly enhance the sensitivity and selectivity of electrochemical sensing platforms due to the homogeneity of their active sites, full atom utilization, and high catalytic activity. In this study, we demonstrate the synthesis and characterization of a high-density Co-based single-atom nanozyme anchored on activated MOF-derived porous carbon (Co-AcNC-3) via a cascade anchoring strategy for ultrasensitive, simultaneous electrochemical detection of catechol (CC) and hydroquinone (HQ). The Co-AcNC-3 displays a large specific surface area, high defectivity, and abundant oxygen-containing groups, with Co atoms being atomically dispersed throughout the carbon support via Co-N bonds. The Co-AcNC-3 biosensor exhibits superior electrochemical signals for CC and HQ, with linear ranges of 4.0 μM-300.0 μM. and detection limits of 0.072 μM and 0.034 μM, respectively. Moreover, the Co-AcNC-3 biosensor has shown excellent performance in accurately detecting CC and HQ in actual samples. Our findings highlight the potential of the proposed Co-AcNC-3 biosensor as a reliable and promising sensing platform for determining CC and HQ.
