Due to their high toxicity and ongoing bioaccumulation, mercury ions (Hg) can cause significant harm to both the environment and human health. Therefore, rapid, accurate, and selective methods for Hg detection are highly desirable. Herein, we present a simple method for depositing platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) on graphene oxide (GO) to obtain graphene oxide-PtNPs (GO-PtNPs). The fabricated GO-PtNPs exhibit excellent peroxidase-like activity and high stability. Further, the GO-PtNPs nanozymes preferentially reduced Hg, thereby inhibiting the catalytic activity. By monitoring the color change in the chromogenic substrate, Hg can be detected within 15 min. With a detection limit of 88.3 pM, the GO-PtNPs system may be employed to detect Hg in a linear range of 0.1 nM to 10 μM. The simplicity and low cost of the proposed approach as well as its applicability to complicated samples demonstrate its capacity for mercury sensing in environmental samples.

The controllable growth of metal nanoparticles on nanomaterials is becoming a useful strategy for developing nanocomposites with designated performance. Here, a DNA-controlled strategy for growth of Pt nanoparticles on graphene oxide (GO-PtNPs) to regulate the nanozyme activity and a triplex-hybridization chain reaction (tHCR) for triggering the assembly of DNA probes to amplify the target-induced nanozyme catalytic signal were designed. The tHCR with one linear and two hairpin probes could be specially triggered by a tHCR trigger to form a long double-stranded DNA structure in the presence of target nucleic acid, which hindered the adsorption of these probes on a GO surface, and thus accelerated the growth of PtNPs.

Metal nanoparticles and the combination of metal nanoparticles with graphene oxide are widely used in environmental, agriculture, textile, and therapeutic applications. The effect of graphene oxide-green platinum nanoparticles (GO-PtNPs) on human prostate cancer cells (LNCaP) is unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to synthesize a nanocomposite of GO-PtNPs and evaluate their effect on prostate cancer cells.
