A novel Ru-FeO nanozyme with enhanced peroxidase-like (POD-like) activity was synthesized through a hydrothermal method. Ru-FeO nanozyme was effectively utilized for the detection of thiophanate-methyl (TM) using a colorimetric technique. The POD-like activity of Ru-FeO was found to be superior compared to FeO, Rh-FeO, and Pd-FeO. Ru-FeO provided excellent POD-like activity with Michaelis constants of 0.00645 mM and 0.66714 mM for substrates of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine and HO, respectively. The density functional theory calculation showed that Ru-FeO had better HO decomposition reactivity compared to FeO. Compared with FeO, the adsorbed HO molecules underwent decomposition more readily on the Ru-FeO catalytic surface facilitating the occurrence of the HO catalytic reaction, further suggesting the excellent POD-like activity of Ru-FeO. The coordination and electrostatic interactions of Ru-FeO and TM promoted their binding, contributing to TM covering Ru-FeO catalytic site and inhibiting the POD-like activity of Ru-FeO. As a result, the sensitive and selective detection of TM using Ru-FeO by a colorimetric method was achieved. The Ru-FeO nanozyme displayed a good linear correlation, with a linear detection range and a detection limit of 0.1-100 and 0.03 μg/mL, respectively. The Ru-FeO nanozyme was used for the determination of TM in soil and water samples with success.

Phenolic compounds are typical organic pollutants which cause severe human health problems due to their teratogenesis, carcinogenesis, neurotoxicity, immunotoxicity and endocrine disruption. Natural laccase is a multicopper oxidase existing in bacteria, plants, and insects, which can accelerate the transformation of phenolic compounds to their less hazardous oxidized products under mild conditions without harmful byproducts. Despite eco-environmentally friendly property of laccase, it still faces constraints of widespread application attribute to its high cost, complex preparation, and vulnerability.

Background: Because arsenate (As(V)) is a highly toxic pollutant, timely on-site monitoring of its concentration is crucial for mitigating potential environmental and health hazards. Traditional on-site detection methods for As(V) often face limitations of long response time and low sensitivity. Nanozymes are nanomaterials that exhibit enzyme-like catalytic activity.

Background: Carbosulfan (CBS) is a widely used carbamate pesticide in agricultural production, its easy decomposition into hypertoxic carbofuran poses serious threats to human health and food safety. Therefore, sensitive and accurate detection of CBS is of significant importance. Conventional chromatography-based techniques require expensive instruments and complicated sample pretreatment, limiting their application for fast detection.

Inorganic nanozymes hold promise for biomolecule sensing but face challenges like complex fabrication, toxicity, and low sustainability, limiting their use. To overcome these, a sustainable organic nanozyme (OA nanozyme) was created using amino acids and a biocompatible polymer for effective histamine detection. The OA nanozyme exhibits peroxidase-like activity and was fabricated through a single chelation/polymer entanglement method, enabling rapid production (within 3 h) with uniform morphology (≤100 nm diameter) and a negative surface charge at neutral pH.
