AI Article Synopsis

  • Iron phosphide/carbon (FeP/C) materials show great promise as electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), but finding variants with improved catalytic activity for biocatalysis remains challenging.
  • FeP/carbon dots (FeP/CDs) have been developed to demonstrate enhanced peroxidase-like (POD-like) catalytic activity, achieving a specific activity of 31.1 U/mg, which is double that of standard FeP.
  • The antibacterial efficacy of FeP/CDs nanozymes is significant, showing a 98.1% effectiveness and outperforming other nanozymes such as FeP and FeO/CDs by varying degrees.

Article Abstract

Iron phosphide/carbon (FeP/C) serving as electrocatalysts exhibit excellent activity in oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) process. HO catalyzed by peroxidase (POD) is similar to the formation of new electron transfer channels and the optimization of adsorption of oxygen-containing intermediates or desorption of products in ORR process. However, it is still a challenge to discover FeP/C with enhanced POD-like catalytic activity in the electrocatalytic database for biocatalysis. The discovery of FeP/carbon dots (FeP/CDs) nanozymes driven by electrocatalytic activity for enhanced POD-like ability is demonstrated. FeP/CDs derived from CDs-Fe chelates show enhanced POD-like catalytic and antibacterial activity. FeP/CDs exhibit enhanced POD-like activities with a specific activity of 31.1 U mg that is double higher than that of FeP. The antibacterial ability of FeP/CDs nanozymes with enhanced POD-like activity is 98.1%. The antibacterial rate of FeP/CDs nanozymes (250 µg mL) increased by 5%, 15%, and 36% compared with FeP, FeO/CDs, and CuP/CDs nanozymes, respectively. FeP/CDs nanozymes will attract more efforts to discover or screen transition metal phosphide/C nanozymes with enhanced POD-like catalytic activity for biocatalysis in the electrocatalytic database.

In medical and biomedical fields, enzyme-mimetic nanomaterials have garnered significant interest as efficacious signal enhancers for biocatalyst-linked immunosorbent assays (BLISA). Despite the burgeoning enthusiasm, engineering artificial biocatalysts that exhibit both exceptional catalytic proficiency and pronounced colorimetric signal output remains a formidable challenge. Inspired by the heme structures and biocatalytic activities of horseradish peroxidase, we introduce the synthesis of vanadium single-atoms (SAV) coordinated artificial peroxidases as BLISA for highly sensitive and selective carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) immunoassay.

Reducing the size of active species is a powerful means to improve the utilization rate of active metals and enhance the properties of bimetallic nanozymes. In this work, Fe was introduced into Ce-MOF through the coordination of Fe and organic ligands, and the coordination effect resulted in atomically dispersed Fe in the derived Fe/CeO nanozyme. Due to the atomically dispersed Fe embedded in the lattice of CeO, a large number of defect sites were generated, endowing the nanozyme with excellent peroxidase (POD)-like activity.

Traditional p-type CuO (pCuO), valued for its tunable band gap and p-type conductivity, has been widely used in photoelectrochemical biosensors. However, its weak conductivity leads to unsatisfied photoelectrochemical signals and limits its use in in situ vulcanization reactions. We synthesized n-type CuO (nCuO) with abundant oxygen vacancies through a simple chemical reduction for the first time, which was applied as efficient photoactive material.
