Metal-based nanozymes, such as Ag-Fe3O4, are attractive alternatives to natural enzymes due to their stability and low cost. This study successfully constructed Ag-Fe3O4 nanozymes with high peroxidase-like activity and specificity, which showed improved performance compared to single Fe3O4 nanozymes. Furthermore, these nanozymes were used for sulfur ion detection and catalytic degradation of toxic dyes with high efficiency and reusability.
Nanozymes based on metal are attractive substitutes to natural enzymes because of stability and low cost. At present, it is a great challenge to obtain highly active and specific metallic nanozyme for chemo-sensing and catalytic degradation toxic dye. Herein, Ag-Fe3O4 nanozymes were constructed via covalently bond to Fe3O4 using silver nanoparticles as a metal center. The peroxidase-like activity of single Ag is very weak even negli-gible. The Km value of Ag-Fe3O4 for TMB was 4.2-fold lower than that of single Fe3O4 nanozyme. Then, a TMB/ H2O2/Ag-Fe3O4 colorimetric platform was developed for sulfur ions in the linear range of 10-100 & mu;M, with a detection limit of 0.4 & mu;M. In addition, Ag-Fe3O4 nanozyme quickly and specifically catalyzed the degradation of triarylmethane dyes, and the degradation rate was more than 99%, along with good reusability more than ten -cycle run.
